Sanders camp was suppose to be better than this but lies all the time now.

Here we go again: At Sanders' Michigan event, introducer Larry Cohen is laying into President Obama, accusing him of not caring about jobs

[Cha]

1. Such bull... and that's why bernie's not going to win.

[Rose Siding]

19. This is MI! -Where Pres Obama saved the auto industry

What are they thinking?

[Cha]

20. Gawd.. that's right.. "he doesn't care about jobs" wth. it's like the damn twilight zone.

Thank you, Rose

[Rose Siding]

21. New poll- She's up by 28% in MI

http://www.realclearpolitics.com/docs/2016/Mitchell-FOX_2_Detroit_MI_Poll_DEM_3-2-16.pdf

I guess they're using some kind of clumsy kitchen sink strategy, but boy does this one miss its mark!

[Cha]

23. Oh Thank Goodness! that makes me feel better!

Wow.. Mahalo, Rose!

Throwing the kitchen sink at President Obama is not the way to go.. that's what republicons do... it never worked for them, either.

[Treant]

2. Running away

from a President who's very popular with his own party is NOT the correct way to win the candidacy.

[Cha]

7. Running on the dem ticket attacking the popular Democratic President on bullshit.. What kind

of a person would Obama be if he didn't care about jobs?!

BS is only helping repubs.. not himself.

[misterhighwasted]

10. Yup. He's been doing it all along.

Pres Obama, Hillary Clinton, DWS, DNC, Dem Party, and anything aligned with the Dem Party.

His purpose & method from day one has mimicked the Tea Party in their successful mission to break the, once reasonable GOP.
Their our-way-or-the-highway worked for the Koch Funded Tea Party, but Bernie Sanders and the nefarious force that supports him, hits a brick wall with the unified & powerful Dem Party.
He has narrowed his share of the diverse base of the Dems down to a limited voter block that will never succeed in such a foolish dream.
No matter how much RW Cash, dirty tricks & dreams Sanders has under his feet to float him along.

The Dem Party was built by those refusing to be exploited by the very people that Sanders seems to actually align with. And its not the Dems.

Regardless of what his repeated redundant one line stump speech message is.

Appears his true color is exactly what many of us always thought it to be .
He has failed in his mission to break the Dem Party via a left wing Tea Party.

Hillary & the Dems have backed Bernie into a corner
where he will remain until this GE is completed in Nov.

His efforts to break the Dem Party has only united it as a stronger force.

What meager weak message he has, falls on deaf ears at this point.
The Dem Party doesn't need Bernie Sanders. But he most certainly needed them to get anywhere at all in this campaign.
Bye Bernie

[Cha]

11. Exactly right, mister.. excellent point.

"His efforts to break the Dem Party has only united it as a stronger force."

Take this moment .. to the Supers!

[BlueCaliDem]

34. Yeah, but sh***ing on him when you know he's not going to endorse you

for president is GREAT for fund raising...and I believe that's all that Bernie is now focusing on. I guess he's decided that since there's no way for him to win the Democratic Party nom, he might as well make out like a bandit.

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

42. It is popular with the folks

who consider Obama, Hillary, and pretty much every other democrat today DINOs. No one, except Bernie Sanders, I guess, is sufficiently liberal enough to suit them. There's a lot of them on this site, but not so many out in the real world, I think.

[Thinkingabout]

3. Cohen has lost his way, as a past president of the CWA he needs to have been more interested

in the jobs of CWA members, he is a let down, allowing newer employees not to have pensions in the manner allowed in the past, not fighting for a living wage with new employees, he needs to look at the results of where CWA was at the time he left.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

36. Wow

I spent 38 years in the telecommunications business. Guess I was lucky to be represented by IBEW instead the CWA if this guy was as bad as you say.

[Thinkingabout]

41. CWA has had great representation in the past, Joe Beirne was a great president,

They continued to get softer, the employees of recent years are losing many of the benefits we fought so hard to obtain and retirees was not much of a concern for Cohen.

[mcar]

4. Tone deaf and incorrect

[book_worm]

5. So his strategy to get the Democratic nomination is to attack a Democratic president

who has a 90% approval rating with Democrats?

[great white snark]

13. Bernie the career politician needs to look non-establishment for this revolution thingy to work.

So far it ain't working but hope springs eternal.

[charlyvi]

39. Yep. A kamikaze Democrat. A Demokaze. n/t

[livetohike]

6. The Sanders surrogates are not helping him one bit. However, he set the tone and it's really an ugly

and divisive one. Please proceed so the campaign will go down in flames before the end of March. Criticizing the leader of our party. Yeah, that will help get out the vote.

[Rose Siding]

8. So I guess the longest streak of private sector job growth means zilch

Whiny whiny babies.

[giftedgirl77]

9. Lol, this is just getting sad.

[yallerdawg]

12. Turning your back on the Democratic president?

Ask Al Gore how that worked out.

[riversedge]

14. Sanders called another Press Conference to hit on Hilllary--he did this last week

a few times also.

[Cha]

15. So desperate.. Hillary has the class. he has all the desperation.

[yallerdawg]

16. If you rally against the Democratic president...

I guess we should expect negative attacks on the Democratic nominee.

The fateful last gasps of a failing political run.

Soon. Very soon.

[BlueMTexpat]

26. That is one of two things that I've

never quite forgiven Al Gore for. The other was choosing Joe Lieberman as a running mate.

But I still voted FOR Gore. At least I can hold my own head up.

[yallerdawg]

27. Yes. Tennessee or Arkansas.

And 'Bush' would have been an asterisk.

If we could turn back time...

[BlueMTexpat]

28. +1! eom

[DesertRat]

17. Attacking our Democratic president

Not a good plan, Bernie.

[Tommy2Tone]

18. Remember Bernie wanted someone to primary Obama in 2012

Yet another reason to not this guy to get the nomination.,

[otohara]

24. Someone Named Bernard Sanders

he just never said it though - but David Plouffe said "We thought maybe he'd run against us."

[pandr32]

22. How unfortunate

It seems that dollars keep flowing to Bernie as long as he maintains this divisiveness. He knows he can't win, but is posturing away. It is past time for him to knock off the war against Democrats.

[sufrommich]

25. That won't play well in Michigan where Obama bailed

out the car companies. Tone deaf nonsense.

[UtahLib]

29. They just keep rolling with their disgusting tactics. Go away BS

[taught_me_patience]

30. If this is true, then it's really pathetic

He ushered a bailout that was quite friendly to workers (preserving pensions) AND it's been the best year for domestic auto sales in history. This scorched earth strategy (madness) needs to stop soon.

[Haveadream]

31. Why is he giving the Republicans

Talking points?

Mark my words, we will be seeing and hearing this repeated during the General. The Donald must be loving this. This is why Bernie has never been part of the establishment. He has a scorched earth approach and doesn't care who gets hurt in the process.

[riversedge]

32. This is idiotic, deeply inaccurate and beneath @SenSanders - in your own words Bernie,

33. Sad old man.

[Tarheel_Dem]

35. I hope the Clinton campaign seizes on this when she returns to MI. Exit polling from previous...

contests show that actual "Democrats" kinda like our "Democratic" President, and want to see his legacy protected and built upon. This is why I have never felt a "Bern", and never will.

37. Sanders Advisor: "We're Not Going To Make It With A Third Term Of This President"

[fleabiscuit]

38. OK, I'm gonna go against the consensus in this OP.

Perfect strategy BS!

It's gonna work out just fine. Ignoring Vice President Biden's advice about running on President Obama's record and hammering President Obama for not creating utopia is just what you need to keep doing! Excellent! Really bringing the party together. Ignore the warning of possibly starting a violent revolution on your dedicated DU forum group.

Good job bud, good job. You the man!

[brer cat]

40. This strategy has worked really well for him so far

so I guess he will keep it up until the end.
