Could Sanders' Heart Attack Impact His 2020 Bid? | Morning Joe | MSNBC

    1. Interestingly enough it seems like Trump is lying about his height… When side by side with other men he supposedly is the same height as, he looks shorter.
      He claims to be 6’3″ but compared to other folks he is actually more likely 6″ tall. Why does it matter? It bumps him into the obese side of things

    2. @aguyandhiscomputer He claims to be 6’3″ but looks shorter than others that are 6’3″… How do we explain that?

    1. longho

      Bernie had a heart attack which means the blocked arteries obstructed oxygen flow and caused muscle death in a portion of the heart. Obviously it wasn’t a huge amount of damage or he wouldn’t have been able to leave the hospital in less than a week.

  1. The most tedious thing about this whole interview was hearing “there’s going to be 12 candidates on the stage — ugh STOP IT. Either break it into two or set the bar higher because 10 people on the stage is worse than a twitter argument. It’s not a debate. 12 people is a GD nightmare. GROSS.

    1. @Bentley Parish Polls shouldn’t be a criteria at all, because polls just therefore are mostly rigged!

      Btw at this early stage many peiople didn’t even hear about candidates for example like Tulsi Gabbard, whereas billionaires always have any opportunity to present to the public.

    2. @Jason Peng He’s a nice person, but a horrible politician! Applauding regimechange wars, increasing military budget, persecution and incarceration of whistleblowers like Chelsey Manning or journalists like Julian Assange, and even his ideas about UBI are not thought through, at best, meaning that a majority of poor people and middle class will lose net income by vanishing social programs!

    3. @Jason Peng CNN doesn’t know about Yang yet. They have not shown his image in the last two debate ads! I could not make this up.

    1. @Eric Wood there’s a difference between not campaigning for him and having an active bias against him. Apparently you haven’t seen the bulk of the coverage they do on Bernie Sanders. Same thing they did in 2016. If you want proof there are many videos if it.

    2. @Angiko Even you can’t say BUTTIGIEG with out being ashamed or laughing …. Media run by g@ys have you not figured that out? how else could that life style jump to the front of the line in media d government priority Yang like Bernie would bankrupt this country. More taking than paying can’t work.. Yang supporters are either Asians only voting Asian or kids living off their parents wanting free money

    3. @mellakat80 It’s in the eye of the beholder. There is no bias against Sanders on MSNBC, plain and simple, no more than there is against any other Democratic contender for the presidency.

  2. Didn’t catch how old Bernie is. Make sure to mention it in every sentence next time, or we might miss it.

    1. Yeah, i missed that too! I wished they mentioned his age because i don’t think i can remember it after they only mentioned it six times.

    2. @babstra55 And Trump 75…these folks are all in their 70s. They speak like Bernie is 100 years old and the rest are in their 40s.

    1. Get real – he’s too damned old – period. The USA DESPERATELY needs a new generation of leadership to step up – these fossils simply don’t have what it takes. PS – I’m a senior…

    1. @Sir Loxley Mendoza
      There’s a big difference between useful discussion and complete destruction like we’re all witnessing with whatever is left of the Republican party today.
      The Phoenix rose from the ashes, drumpf’s screw ups have left nothing but a bunch of sniveling rats abandoning ship daily.

    2. @Jeffrey Hagelin Not at all, it just pointing out that whenever MSNBC wants to muddy Bernie’s campaign they bring out a Hillary 2016 campaign official.

    3. @Judith Aldridge
      ” MSNBC is muddying the waters”
      Just to be sure, l watched the short clip again just to be sure l wasn’t missing anything.
      First they interviewed the heart specialist and reported the specifics of what had transpired.
      Then, in the interests of transparency, explained that Bernie’s condition to bounce back were as good as any 78 year old man having two blockages repaired.
      Ms. Elrod, granted, was HRC campaign manager, however, she said nothing derogatory about any of the Democratic candidates.
      Remember, HRC is not in this race and Ms. Elrod would have nothing to gain by exploiting Bernie’s heart attack. Ms. Elrods expertise and knowledge as the most recent presidential campaign, made her opinions of each Democratic candidates standing, since she herself is a Democrat.
      The logistics would imply that given the circumstances, Ms Elrod was a logical person to interview, and l saw no sign of political favoritism of one over the other.
      Additionally, ageism was not a factor in the discussion, it was correctly pointed out that BIDEN is nearly as old as Bernie, and he too has had medical issues. Also, it was pointed out that drumpf was obese? and Warren, also no youngster, was the only top fouth contender in that age group to not have a heart condition.
      Watch it again, there were no biasis.

    1. @g bridgman
      How did not supporting Bernie work out for your clowns in 2016? Trump is your fault only. So shut your venomous mouth.

    2. @jeck jeck OMG, another hate filled reply from a delusional Bernie supporter. You guys are all the same. Gave us Trump? You think Bernie would have won in 2016? You need help.

    1. @Benjamin Buckley i dont mind bernie, i think the heart attack could impact some resentment by him against several of chief warrens offenses, but joes still the tradition they all have to endorse until or unless he says otherwise. he may not know where he is, but hes the pilot and hes not afraid to remind the folks how they got here.

    1. I wouldn’t vote for him if he sprouted angel wings and a halo – he’s too OLD! He’s also Jimmy Carter, pt 2 – a good man with good ideas – and without a power base in DC. Carter was sandbagged at every turn because he didn’t have a cadre of powerful allies. Get a clue – Bernie doesn’t either…

    1. You mean his campaign should greatly benefit from it like these hacks’ careers benefit from lack of integrity and moral compass, right?

  3. Every year even fewer folks trust you smear merchants. You have so much less influence than you used to and I can’t wait until your company goes under along with the rest that propagate lies.

  4. I feel like Ivan Drago, “If he dies (in office), he dies.” As long as Bernie is alive, I will vote for him. He must win, and to the billionaire crooks, we must break you.
