Jeff Weaver: When Biden Campaigns On Electability, He Must ‘Win Elections’ | Andrea Mitchell | MSNBC
Bernie will win tonight in New Hampshire. He will win Nevada. He will win California. He will destroy Trump on the debate stage with the truth. I’m going to go donate $15 to Bernie now.
Shelby Berry oh wait, you’re saying the polls about Hillary having a 97% chance of being president or not believable, but the ones about Bernie are?
How convenient!
I see Sanders becoming president as well, the US then goes into recession and Sanders blames the Trump/wealthy people for the mess his policies will create
Dream on.
In other news, t’rump’s “iron clad promise” to protect health care didn’t last very long. 🤣
jeck there’s nothing in life that’s free..those of us that work should have the opportunity and freedom to choose what type of health insurance we want..
I don’t believe in government destroying society in taxes and making decisions for me like a mommy and daddy..
@Jeff Woods
LOL, never go full brainless. Health is a right, as is your DT to stay ignorant.
Single payer government insurance solves all kinds of issues that conservatives should get behind, such as medicaid abuse (people choosing not to work just enough to stay eligible) which is funded by taxpayers, non payments due to declaring bankruptcy that drive up costs on medical procedures, administration costs to collect payments that also increase cost on medical procedures, no more preexisting conditions issues that affect the insurance model, it relieves a huge financial burden on businesses that cover employees, it will allow more entrepreneurs who aren’t reliant on work based healthcare coverage, etc etc
@Jeff Woods may be that s why you decide which war you want to fight or which road you want to build.
They will be irrelevant lol I think he was talking to Andrea Mitchel
Nah. Andrea is smarter than that. That’s why she invited Jeff on in the first place. Once Bernie wins the nomination, Andrea will be fully switching to the Bernie-camp (and perhaps even pretend she was there all along).
Good interview.
Bernie vs Bloomberg is whats coming!
Gary Vance what is wrong with the government giving money to the top end of town. That’s corporate socialism don’t you think you are entitled to the same.
@Mick Reynolds Perhaps one day America will be as great as the USSR.
agree Bloomberg coming up against Sanders if Biden or Buttigiet drop out. Sanders probably beats Bloomberg (he’ll probably point to 2 things – Bloomberg is a billionaire and stop and frisk). Sanders then comes up against Trump and wins barely. Sanders policies will be a disaster for America economically and Sanders then will probably blame the wealthy at which point most of them will probably start planning on leaving the US (if they haven’t started shifting their assets and getting passports ready now)
When you yet further south a Bernie vs Bloomberg would be a win for Bloomberg.
Hillary won the popular vote in 2016: DNC “Hillary won, the Electoral College shouldn’t count”
Bernie wins the popular vote in 2020: DNC “Sorry but only the STE counts”
But we should trust these disconnected “professionals” because they know what it takes to win after losing to Trump? – Bernie or Bust!!
Yup.
who are these creeps
Yea ,,winning is always a good thing Biden ! 😁😁😁😁🤣🤣🤣
How did you type that out while sucking off Putin?
Jeff Weaver, love the offensive strategy. I’m sure there are many Bernie supporters, still on the fence over electability. Not caucusing is one way to avoid confusion.
At first I liked Bernie but digging deeper, some of the things I didn’t like policy wise – $15/hr min wage imo is a good idea, some of the tax increases are a good idea but increases in capital gains tax not so great, moratorium on deportations is definitely a bad idea, national rent control not such a good idea, guaranteeing everyone a job at $15/hr is not a good idea, free houses for all homeless sounds great but probably won’t work, I like the policies on boosting green energy and electric cars. In sum, Sanders is probably going to be a disaster economically if he implements all his policies
@Nikos V which president will be able to get all their proposals passed? 15/hr will definitely be passed and medicare for all will be a priority
I don’t think Bidens tragedies will be enough with no policies or character backing it up. Sob stories will only go so far.
#Bernie2020
Bernie is the Best!
Biden & Budie have no plans, just business as usual.
dump the trump, we need a President with a brain and a plan to fix or replace capitalism.
DEMAND democracy in the work place,,,,,,not slavery to profits Go Bernie. Time to empty
the Washington trash can, it is overflowing with rotting GOP bodies.
#Bernie2020
Good to see you, Jeff Weaver! You’re looking great?
It seems everybody is fed up with fakes, and LIARS…Bernie is genuine!
Comrade Bernie to win!!!!
Bernie was supported by Russia in 2016, no way I support him in the primaries
@William Crowley you’re dumb
The founding fathers of the USA enshrined the importance of the third estate, the media: FREE JULIAN ASSANGE
TRUMP wants to EXCLUDE those who have preexisting medical conditions, he has cut Social Security from hundreds they depended on to Survive
Anybody have any aloe because Im feeling the BERN !!!!! Bernie 2020
Aloe wont do you good in those cases – but rumour has it that phonebanking etc. can help in such cases.
#BERNIE2020 Won Iowa By Over 6,000 Votes, #1 In New Hampshire, #1 In Nevada, #2 In South Carolina And #1 In California
MSDNC Would Rather Lose To Trump Than Win With Bernie Sanders #Facts More Proof
