That statement by Bernie scares me to death.
**Preface this by saying: Assuming that we have the right to vote at ALL (Who knows how limited voting rights will become for Dems in 2018/2020 after we've been under a tRumputin DOJ for 2 years, and making another assumption that the votes we have will count--that's if there not purged, cross-checked, erased from Dem voting rolls or any other shenanigans from ruskie cyber-hacking like there was for this past GE).**
I've heard about the "You cannot get down in the mud with people" thing all of my life. But, when you have opponents like the thuglicans who are a soul less lot, you have to be willing to get just as nasty and ornery as they are. Bernie stating categorically that tRumputin is a pathological liar was a great start, but he has to dig into that asshole and the rest of the thuglican assholes, because you best believe that the thuglicans (Nazi Bannon et al) will be using every bit of opposition research they have and make op ON Bernie, and they'll just flat out LIE on him for the rest of the nasty things they'll be alleging him of. We have 95% of the "media" that is now firmly corporate and who don't care if you know about it per CNN & CBS executives. Anchors no longer bother with fact-checking what tRumputin or what thuglicans say--most of which has been or is nothing but lies. Of course when they bothered to cover Hillary (They gave tRumputin $2 Billion in free air time--couldn't break away from HIM as he bought them ad $$$--exciting covering an orange, lying, racist monkey throwing feces all over the place), they went full bore in on emails/CGI and ignored what her plans for POTUS would be which she laid out, and they really never bothered to cover Bernie at all.
Anyway, if Bernie does ultimately end up being the Dem or stays an Indy nominee (And nothing at this point would shock me even though IMHO Bernie would be too old), he and his team/surrogates better be ready for the press to stay repeating LIES and salacious opposition research dumps on him coming from the GOP, and he better be ready to get down in the mud with them and refute every lie they throw at him, meanwhile, keep touting his progressive/populist message. He/his camp have to fight fire with fire in that WAY. tRumputin never really laid out many plans about what he'd exactly DO as POTUS. tRumputin lied as he went along and is STILL lying about what his plans for the presidency ARE, although we as liberals KNOW it's not good for the working person, the poor, children, disabled, women, POC and those in need of help or who are not 1%'ers. Bernie IS a populist and tRumputin only pretended to be one (He tricked those who thought he'd be--buyer's remorse setting in already for some, meanwhile many tRumputin voters want to "blow up" everything). The GOP, with help from the "media" will try to turn Bernie into something that he ISN'T, and stay repeating lies, weaknesses, etc. tRumputin has shown himself as being married TO Goldman Sachs people--who surround him (Nazi Bannon) and are WELL represented in his gold_plated cabinet of deplorables. He's more than guilty of what he accused Hillary Clinton of---And that's being in bed with and married TO Goldman Sachs entities like he IS.
