After being asked about his wife Jane's play date with Sheriff Arpaio, Bernie walks out of an interview. How Presidential!
I predict things are going to get worse for him. He can't go off script! The press is going to smell blood in the water so he better get his temper under control.

[UtahLib]

1. Very Presidential, indeed. nt

[BlueCaliDem]

2. Not professional. Not professional AT ALL. Not presidential, either, may I add.

Thank god we're dodging the bullet with that one!

[livetohike]

3. He's done. Can you see the political ads this will spawn?

No wonder his colleagues haven't endorsed him. He probably stomps out of meetings that aren't going his way.

[workinclasszero]

4. Bernie is losing it

Last edited Fri Mar 18, 2016, 01:36 PM - Edit history (1)

He knows as well as we do that the game is over and he lost badly.

His whole campaign will begin falling apart at the seams real quick.

[Walk away]

13. I think he should stay in the race! He should implode in public....

Hillary won't even have to lay a glove on him. The press may do the job for her. He was really stupid to throw down that delegate gauntlet.

If he got out now he could get a better deal. When he starts losing all but his most cult like followers, his brand won't be worth much. He could end up losing his day job.

[workinclasszero]

39. See what happens when Bernie encounters a little vetting?

Trump and the RNC would have a field day with bernie!

What a joke, real presidential indeed!

[jsmirman]

49. We're going to need him eventually - I'd prefer he retain some dignity

He is a very effective speaker and would be an asset in the battle against Trump.

I deplore the current behavior of his campaign, but losing a campaign is hard.

[Walk away]

53. It's his idea to stay in and fall apart.

Some people just can't be helped.

Plus, I doubt if he will be much help. He has never helped anyone get elected except himself. I think he is too egocentric to be of much use.

[Trenzalore]

97. Not a team player

He has spent the past 30 years declaring himself an independent. He is not a party team player. I fully expect him to be useless after the convention.

[Walk away]

101. Absoutely!

The only party he is loyal to is the one in his head!

[Tarheel_Dem]

77. "Bernie is losing it". And many of his supporters are following suit. If you listen to NPR all day

as I do, what used to be "exuberance" has now turned to "rage" against EVERYBODY, but they reserve the most vitriol for Hillary Clinton. For the BS'ers who inhabit the real world, know that there is no plausible path to the nomination, and they're not taking it well.

And, FWIW, those holding out hope that there's gonna be some convention miracle that hands the nomination over to BS.....please get real.

[Her Sister]

5. Hit a nerve for some reason!

that is very peculiar! Weird overreaction. Good to know

[bravenak]

6. Whoa

[jonno99]

7. Loses it? No, Bernie was fine. That he chose to end the interview - after he was through anwering

his question should not be construed as "losing it" - that is simply hyperbole. He did not rip off his mike, he did not storm out.

Did the reporter want to keep asking questions? Sure. But does that mean that Bernie has to keep sitting there answering them? No.

Again, he was fine - and this is a non-story imho...

[Her Sister]

14. suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuure!

[Walk away]

15. Really??? That's what you saw????

[jonno99]

24. Ummm yep, I saw neither "ripping", nor "storming" (he did look a little tired though... B^)

[Her Sister]

25. aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!! cute!

[BlueCaliDem]

31. He was abrupt, he was rude, and he was unpresidential. I don't care how tired you are, you

keep your cool even if you have to sit a couple of minutes for an interview.

Hillary sat EIGHT HOURS answering Republican attempted "gotcha" questions at the umteenth Benghazi hearing, and NOT ONCE did she attempt to get up and storm out of the place.

See the contrast?

[lunamagica]

34. 11 hours, actually

[jonno99]

43. Don't get me wrong. I thought HRC did a great job at those hearings. And I don't disagree

with the suggestion that Bernie was abrupt. I simply thought that "ripping" and "storming" were a bit hyperbolic in describing what happened.

For those who opinions differ, fine - I'm not gonna die on this hill!

[pandr32]

65. This!

Boom!

[Stand and Fight]

16. You're in the Hillary Group for one...

For two, look and see how both President Obama and Secretary Clinton have handled this sort of thing. NOT THAT WAY. He should have kept it together. You can't turn tail and leave in a tense diplomatic meeting.

[jonno99]

22. Agreed. however... 1) an interview on the campaign trail is not a "diplomatic meeting"

2) in terms of this being a protected group, my statement was neutral, as I neither promoted Bernie nor denigrated Hillary (disputing that he "ripped off his mic & stormed out" is simply stating the fact of the matter).

my two cents...

[Stand and Fight]

27. Cool story, bro. Thanks for your input. n/t

[BlueCaliDem]

52. Interviews with surprisingly tepid American reporters is a good

exercise platform for any politician to "cut his teeth" for the more contentious meetings with egomaniacs that we have to deal with in this world.

You can't deny that Bernie did very badly.

[jonno99]

54. I totally agree (I still don't think there was any ripping or storming though B^)

[JSup]

71. You're...

...very patient and polite.

Thank you.

[jonno99]

74. Thanks

[NurseJackie]

72. You're correct: an interview is not a dimplomatic meeting. But ...

... it was certainly an opportunity for him to show us a more presidential side. Either, he chose to ignore the opportunity, or he simply FAILED the test. He likely will be perceived (fairly or unfairly) as having folded or bailed-out under pressure.

Either way, he TOTALLY BLEW IT! Once this hits the evening news (assuming it does) this stands to be a GAME CHANGER for him, and will bring his campaign to a close sooner than it may have otherwise been. We've always known the "what", and the remaining question is exactly "when" he'll call it a day and endorse Hillary.

[jonno99]

75. You could be right - we'll find out before too long...nt

[George II]

66. You must have missed the last few seconds of the "interview" - the reporter muttered....

...that that never happened to him before.

[LAS14]

124. I pretty much agree. He may...

... have shown annoyance, but it's not worth this response. Let's keep to the higher road. It's a strength.

[liberal N proud]

8. I would imagine he is a little testy

And now that it is obvious he does not stand a chance, he is difficult to be around.


But a President can't throw a temper tantrum.

[workinclasszero]

40. I believe Bernie has a rep

for having a short fuse doesn't he?

[FloridaBlues]

69. I think his temperament is wide known

cranky and grumpy probably needs his elder nap.
the end of this primary is almost done

[otohara]

26. Nothing Worse Than An Abusive Boss

I had a couple back in the day and there's nothing you can do but take it if you want to keep your job.

[Her Sister]

35. yes!

it's related to a person's interpersonal and coping skills! That interview was nothing compared to what an USA president has to deal day in and out!

Plus you don't get the best out of your employees in a hostile type environment. Opposite

[KewlKat]

123. A couple of things that popped out at me

"At his best, Sanders is a skilled reader and manipulator of people and events," Rosenfeld wrote. "At his worst, he falls prey to his own emotions, is unable to practice what he preaches (though he would believe otherwise) and exudes a contempt for those he derides, including his staff."

Rosenfeld quotes Sanders himself in the book as saying, "Some people say I am very hard to work with. They say I can be a real son of a bitch. They say I can be nasty, I don't know how to get along with people. Well, maybe there's some truth to it."

According to Sanders' former Senate staffer, his tendency to micromanage often hobbled the office's work.

"Everything was done at the last second," that person said. "He made all the decisions."

[Surya Gayatri]

10. No surprise and only to be expected. He's NEVER been subjected to the media scrutiny and

barrage that HRC has. He'll reveal his "fault zones" more and more often.

Tiny Vermont ain't the wider, pluralistic US. And, as the campaign heats up, these kinds of incidents will only increase.

[workinclasszero]

42. Hillary takes 12 hours of republican attacks and walks out the winner

Bernie takes a 3 minutes from a reporter in a friendly situation, rips the mike off and storms out!

Who does the american voter want in the oval office??? Simple choice eh?

Hillary is going to be a great President!

[Surya Gayatri]

45. HRC says "Bring it on"...Bernie walks out, slamming the door.

[workinclasszero]

47. This is the danger we face with Bernie

Totally un-vetted, thin-skinned with a temper.

The republicans would tear him apart in the general.

Thank God most democrats realize what a grave mistake it would be to have this person as our candidate in the general.

[Surya Gayatri]

50. Untested, unknown quantity. Loose cannon. Heavy political seas. Disaster in the making.

[workinclasszero]

55. Cool pic LOL

And I totally agree with you!

[livetohike]

56. LOL Surya!

[Surya Gayatri]

60. Hey there, LTH! Comment ça va ? Wow, they're really rowing hard against reality today, aren't they?

[livetohike]

62. The Titanic is sinking. Only a few lifeboats left.

[SunSeeker]

59. LOL

[Thinkingabout]

11. What would happen after eleven hours before a congressional committee?

There will be more of confrontations to come before the end of the primary.

[dlwickham]

36. He'd be yelling get off my lawn after an hour

[displacedtexan]

86. What would happen? Well, first of all...

... Bernie would have to answer the questions. That reporter was way too kind when BS sidestepped the questions on his votes. You'd think the guy running for prez would at least have a canned answer for each of those questions about his votes.

Speaking as a veteran of many local, state, and national campaigns, I'd like to go on record thanking BS for saying "Hillary Clinton" so many times during a 4 minute interview excerpt. Rookie mistake. Just the comparison between her Bengazi hearing interrogation and his, "Hillary Clinton voted for the war in Iraq!!!!!" as an answer to a question about his vote on a completely different issue is campaign gold. So, thanks, Bernie!

[Thinkingabout]

90. There wasn't a link in the question to give the typical Wall Street excuse.

Let's face the truth here, Bernie is getting tired, we hear the same Wall Street story over and over, it deflects from having to give reasonable answers, worn out, doesn't work anymore. He let in five states this week and the road is not kind to him, probably disappointed and knows he should give up his quest. Pleasing his campaign workers and allowing them to continue pushing him is not giving him the energy he needs to go on.

[bluestateguy]

12. In the grand scheme of things, not a very big deal to me

If reporters had their druthers they would all get unlimited time to talk to candidates as long as they wish.

[Her Sister]

17. it seemed related to the topic!

everything is just adding on ++++++++

[Stand and Fight]

19. That was for minutes... Hillary went on for 11 hours with Republicans.

She didn't lose her cool and remained dignified. Republicans will take that clip and run it in a loop.

[Ebbegirl]

23. +1

[Walk away]

20. And candidates shouldn't act like morons and walk out in the middle of an interview....

like a big whiney baby. Especially when he has a bad reputation for having an anger management problem.

[otohara]

18. Ambushed?

Did the Sanders campaign think Sheriff asshole would sit by and do nothing?
Why did it take three days to address this?

[Lucinda]

21. Either the stress is getting to him, or it's his nature.

Either way, this isn't good. It was local news...if he cant handle that, he'd tank fast in a GE.

[Stand and Fight]

29. What's he going to do dealing with Trump?

The interviewer was reasonable. Trump? He won't be anywhere near that cordial except maybe when they shake hands at the beginning and end of any debates IF Sanders were the nominee.

[Lucinda]

33. Luckily we wont have to worry about it...but if he is wound up that tightly after

taking a couple of days off, I think maybe he should step down.
And I really didn't care either way until today.

Hillary has made her pivot to the GE, and I figured there wasn't any real harm in letting things play out, but this can't be healthy for Bernie.

[lunamagica]

30. I think it is his nature.

[Lucinda]

37. I've read that a lot. And he did just have a couple of days off, so

you'd think he'd be in better form. And I get that he feels the criticism of Jane isn't fair, but he's playing in the big leagues now, and that reporter wasn't even antagonistic. Not good at all.

[SanDiegoDem]

28. It's time Bernie

Sanders' ego is leading him to self destruct. And seriously, Bernie? Did you actually say "crashed" for what that Sheriff did in appearing with Jane at tent city? Are you 18 years old, dude?


I don't enjoy seeing Sanders fall apart. I don't relish seeing his wheels come off slowly and painfully. He needs to adult-up, check his ego, and end his campaign. If he feels any gratitude (so seemingly doubtful) for the democratic party which supported him in his ability to have a platform for his campaign, he needs to treat that connection with integrity and do what is good for the common cause we all have in moving our social-progressive polices forward.

[lunamagica]

32. Someone with such a short fuse doesn't belong in the WH. SBS, the word is DIPLOMACY

Look it up.

[sufrommich]

38. I think we're starting to see the real Bernie.nt

[workinclasszero]

44. Totally

The wheels are coming off!

The rainbow pony is heading for a crash landing!!

[PaulaFarrell]

127. see post 28

"Wheels are coming off". I have always been skeptical f the whole "Hillary crew gets their meme of the day". But two of you have used the exact same phrasing on this thread and not in response to each
other. Elucidate please.

[Her Sister]

46. People always give themselves away...

For me this choosing a president is a bit like dating: Best to date/check out someone for awhile before falling for them. Wait to see them show their truer colors in different settings and scenarios. People can only be on their best behavior so long. I hate people that try to hurry the process. b/c you find them charming at first. Probably they are hiding something eh! Why the hurry to seal the deal!!

Waiting to sign = Dodge a bullet


Bernie we just met you! Gotta vet you!

[KittyWampus]

98. IMO, your post is very well put. Best to be open to all one's allies faults

along with their best qualities.

[NurseJackie]

41. Surly, angry, impatient, gruff ... these traits of his have ALWAYS troubled me.

Now we get to see it ON FULL DISPLAY ... the world and that nation gets to see how he would handle the pressure of the office of President.

From the very beginning, I've thought that he lacked statesmanlike qualities ... today he PROVED to me that I was correct and not just imagining things.

[question everything]

48. On LBN only 4 recs.. (nt)

[Her Sister]

51. If HRC had done that

all news stations newspapers BS' supporters would be screaming bloody murder today!!!

can you imagine!!

[Walk away]

57. I'm just waiting for some cable news interviewer to poke him with a stick!

[Hekate]

67. Goodness, can you just imagine the speculation about hormones?!

Bernie's just a crusty old guy though, and the media loves them some crusty old guys.

But it looks like he needs a nap.

[LisaM]

58. He's done this before. He hung up on a Vermont NPR interview once, too.

The interviewer was gracious enough not to hold it against him, but that's his M.O. He stormed off the stage in Seattle when two young women confronted him also.

What baffled me about that was his complete inability to handle it. I know Bill Clinton and Barack Obama have their flaws, but one of the things I admire most about both of them is their competency in engaging with and disarming hecklers. They are extremely skilled at it, and it's absolutely a pleasure to see. Hillary does okay, but Bernie has zero ability for it.

[robbedvoter]

61. loved that the reporter managed to sneak in the VP question!

Ouch! The reason the question hit a nerve could be found in this gif
https://twitter.com/word_34/status/709828740008706048

[Her Sister]

119. Interesting!

push back real good!

[George II]

63. Maybe he should be Donald Trump's running mate?

[SunSeeker]

64. Wow. Glad he also asked Bernie about the Minuteman bill.

Of course, Bernie did not explain why he voted for it, he just deflected.

[MFM008]

68. after he yelled

Get off my lawn.

[hellofromreddit]

70. Why is that bad?

Serious question. He clearly didn't like the line of questioning, so he exercised one of the options interviewees have over interviewers. He's done it for years.

How does that automatically equal being weak?

[Her Sister]

76. Primary = job interview

[hellofromreddit]

78. What do you mean by that?

[Her Sister]

79. please go away!!

HRC group! tah tah!!

[hellofromreddit]

80. The whole reason I came over here...

...is because GDP is a big mess. The signal/noise ratio is terrible and I figure my odds of getting an actual discussion are a little better over here.

Yup, I'm pro-Sanders, but I'd like to hear from Hillary supporters about how you think. Lots of smart people support Hillary, so even if I don't agree, there's room for discussion.

So how about it? MY question wasn't rhetorical--I really am curious about why you think it's bad that Sanders cut the interview short. I honestly don't know what you mean when you point out that it's a job interview--because I agree that it is. I just don't see how walking out of the interview is an automatic fail.

I suppose a good question would be: what traits does that behavior expose?

[Her Sister]

81. not into concern trolls

edit: read the whole thread for your answer:

We are not impressed! Not cool. It's starting to look like a pattern...

[fleabiscuit]

84. Sanders has not moved from a very small set of canned answers for decades.

It is up to him to move past that when he is not comfortable and needs to think on his f... er' seat.

This group is not here to stroke your ego.

I feel a hammer dropping.

[hellofromreddit]

88. I partially agree

His answers can sound canned as all hell.

But he does actually offer up complex responses when pressed. " target="_blank">Chris Matthews pressed him relentlessly, pushed him away from his standard responses, and he actually articulated a decent concept--getting voters actively involved in the legislation process. So he's capable.

So does walking out sometimes negate that?

This group is not here to stroke your ego.

I feel a hammer dropping.

This place has terrible welcome mats.

[johnp3907]

91. You're not welcome.

93. That is on top. n/t

[hellofromreddit]

95. I do support Hillary.

I support Sanders, and voted for him in my primary, but I don't support him to the exclusion of her. It looks like she will get the nomination, and I'll happily vote for her in the general if she does.

There is common ground to be had, and I'm here looking for it.

[fleabiscuit]

110. Isn't Redditt a shithole of uncivil discourse?

Keep your shit over there.

[hellofromreddit]

111. Reddit's big

There are plenty of places with perfectly civil discussions, just as there are plenty of places with uncivil discussions.

What I've received in this group is actually on-par with some of the lesser parts of reddit.

[fleabiscuit]

104. BTW, you're the one who said it equals weak. n/t

[Cha]

109. Which is true.. it is weak.

[Cha]

108. It doesn't matter if he's done it for years.. it only highlights how un-presidential he is.

He never answers questions.. always deflects. Just his stump speech. It shows how much he doesn't know. Now he's too damn angry to answer a question.

I want him nowhere near the White House. We want a real President to follow after our beloved President Obama.

[NBachers]

73. But wait- Bernie can get the rest of the delegates, and Hillary has dementia!

[Tarheel_Dem]

82. This is a quite a switch for a guy who never met a camera he didn't want to mug for.

The similarities between two of the candidates are coming starkly into focus, and not in a good way.

[Walk away]

83. Indeed, Bernie is our Trump. Lucky for us that he is losing so badly!

The GOTP is going to split in two.

Hillary is going to rock the general!

[Tarheel_Dem]

85. Trump is down by 13 pts against her in the General. That may tighten, but I'm confident, and....

that's why "I'm With Her"!!!!

[Walk away]

87. Romney just came out for Cruz. The GOTP is breaking apart!

I don't think the race is going to tighten.

[spooky3]

92. I love it. Kasich is their only hope of beating Clinton.

And he can't rally the base--as RW as he is. Unbelievable. Bring it ON!!!

[Walk away]

100. I know! Madame President! It's about time!

Obama must be champing at the bit to get out there. The only thing holding him back is Bernie who doesn't care about the Democratic party anyway. When they hit NY I think she'll have the delegates with or without the Supers and the President can finally come out to endorse her.

[LAS14]

89. From a Hillary supporter.

He didn't lose it. He didn't "rip off" his mic. He didn't "storm out." This is like landing on Hillary for "yelling." Let's raise the tone a bit.

[Her Sister]

94. what did he do?

loses it = could not finish the interview. Stopped mid interview
Rip off = that mike did come off
storm out - did not finish interview. Stopped mid interview. Interview finito

What happened in there?

[Walk away]

102. Oh please!

[R B Garr]

120. Bernie told the interviewer not to say he walked off.

So obviously he knows walking off is a negative image.

[jmowreader]

99. How the hell did he make that pivot?

Interviewer asks about Sheriff Joe at Tent City.

Bernie pivots to the IWR and Hillary receiving money from "Wall Street."

I did enjoy the interviewer telling him to shut up. More people should do that; unfortunately, it didn't work all that well.

[Walk away]

103. I think it worked out just fine. Every news network is carrying it!

Last edited Sat Mar 19, 2016, 09:40 AM - Edit history (1)

Look at all that free publicity for Bernie! He can't complain about Trump sucking all of the air out of the room today!

That little station in AZ is getting hundreds of thousands of clicks on their web page! Maybe millions before we move on.

[Politicub]

105. First the media is accused of not paying attention

Then Bernie gets media opportunities and walks away. Strange behavior.

[Historic NY]

106. He blames Arpaio the sheriff that runs the jail....

you just don't showup to tour the Sheriff, would have to approve it. Her media episode backfired.

[LannyDeVaney]

107. Once everybody realized he was a one-note candidate ..

he tried to move on to other notes. And they were all sour.

And his campaign deceptions aren't fooling anybody. He is not a national candidate.

[KitSileya]

112. Having watched the clip, I wouldn't put it that strongly.

He does end the interview rather abruptly, but he doesn't storm out. Now, we know that he has a history of getting angry enough to leave an interview in a huff - he did that with a Lansing City Pulse reporter who pushed him on why he doesn't endorse fellow progressives. But this was just an awkward, ill-advised social gaffe, I think. He just didn't bother with ending the interview with any panache.

As a Hillary supporter, I think it is important that we don't exaggerate every misstep Bernie does. They do enough of that with Hillary, so I feel that we shouldn't stoop to their level. There's plenty other things to point out as reasons why Bernie shouldn't be president.

[Walk away]

113. I understand that you are expressing what you see when you watch this video...

However, I see a man rudely taking off his mic and tossing it aside and he definitely stalks out rudely. I have been on many news sets and I have NEVER seen anyone pull anything like this. Bernie didn't yell and point his finger in everyone's face as we usually see him so, possibly you think this is him being polite. It isn't. And if he hadn't lost it, he would have waited until the interview was over and left saying thank you.
If Hillary Clinton had done this I would be upset but I certainly wouldn't blame anyone for calling a spade a spade.

[Her Sister]

114. full interview

[Walk away]

116. Thanks Sister! I add this to my OP.

Everyone should see the entire interview!

[Treant]

115. I've watched this a couple of times.

Ripped off his mic and stormed out, not quite--but close.

Was incredibly rude and confrontational to a reporter who's just doing his job? Absolutely.

Did this on television where the voters could see this? Yep.

Just lost Arizona? You bet.

Will it cost him his die-hard supporters? Naturally not, but it's sure not going to gain him any.

[Setsuna1972]

117. He's a hothead

And that was clearly a "Get Off My Lawn" moment

[R B Garr]

118. The Sanders have totally blown it in Arizona. This debacle is only the start

of the incompetence we would see in a GE.

Bernie looked irrationally angry. He gets that way when taken off his soap box. They would be totally crushed in a vicious GE environment, especially the one that's coming.

Bernie can't run with the big dogs, but we know the Clintons can!

Thank goodness we have Hillary!

[NastyRiffraff]

121. +1

You're absolutely right; Bernie would be destroyed in the GE. This was a relatively non-confrontational interview; he was asked questions any competent reporter would ask him in a polite way. He couldn't take it. You can't do that in a GE. If he was annoyed at that, I hate to think what he'd do when he's subjected to really nasty stuff. He would be an embarrassment.

[Her Sister]

122. Finally being asked real questions

being taken seriously as a contender. No more easy fluff questions and this is how he reacts when he can't dole out his same stump speech! Finally vetting him.

Both he and Trump do rallies so they are not really listening to voters. Not learning. Not doing research and their homework. It is easy to do rallies where you are the one talking at people and the people treat you like a rock star. It seems hard for these two to connect to regular people in a personal way. No give and take with these two. No taking questions. Being put on the spot. Hear what America's got to say.

[Setsuna1972]

125. Bernie and Trump

Neither one will answer your question directly (if at all), for Bernie it'll be his stump speech on destroying Wall Street, The Donald it'll be all about himself !

[BREMPRO]

126. wow, what a gross misrepresentation of the end of the interview

i just watched it. Bernie did not "lose it" "rip off mic" or "storm out of the interview". This is the kind of sensational headline i would expect from the MSM not DU. Not only did he not "storm out" but he actually sat down in the chair after it was over. and before that made it clear the time allotted (given his schedule) was over and he insisted despite the interviewers hyperbole that he did not walk out. Really.. come on.
