Well, it's a good thing. They deserve that hard and painful wake-up call when the time comes...and it's a-comin'...

They're plotting an election coup when Bernie wins Iowa and NH. As per Joe Scarborough who actually talked to TPTB who told him that. They're planning to take down Bernie. Biden's not the nice guy everyone seems to believe he is. Elizabeth Warren was also mentioned, but I just don't see that coming from her. Though she did have that meeting with Biden when he was contemplating getting into the race, so who knows. You can't trust anyone but Bernie and people who have the guts to endorse him.

I'll go get the video and post it here so you can hear it with your own ears.
On edit, here's the video:



PEACE

It's not Joe Scarborough going out if his way to stop Bernie! It's TPTB, Washington insiders, DWS, the Clintons and the DNC...not Scarborough. That's something one would keep under their hat if they wanted to see Bernie lose. He wasn't lying when he said the insiders talked to him about this. I believe him and DO NOT trust anyone in DC who's been working to take down Bernie. Mr.. Bankruptcy Bill isn't the guy you think he is. I don't trust him or ANY of TPTB. They've exposed themselves. Thank you very much.

PEACE
LOVE
BERNIE

I don't think they have a clue how to pull it off.

TPTB are starting to wash their hands of Hillary--she's too messy and self-defeating and politically inept. They can read the writing on the wall. She's not going to win.

They are probably going over to the GOP side, to pick a suitable puppet they can all agree on who will do their bidding. And the infighting should be spectacular. I don't think they will succeed at that, either.

Touching Bernie would be the Third Rail, right now. All the usual gambits have already been tried, and they aren't working, except to strengthen Bernie's prestige and standing.

TPTB are not panicking, yet.

and give Duhbya Bush Florida's electoral votes prematurely even before all the votes were counted, right? You do know he's a Republican, right? You do know that it's a public secret that it's in the Republicans' best interest that Bernie wins the primaries (not going to happen, but that's the GOP's goal), right?

So you'd trust a Republican U.S. Representative carrying water for the GOP over the Democratic V.P.? And then you have the audacity to have a Paul Wellstone avatar who, were he alive today, would - rightfully - be horrified by your position. You really do live up to your screen name, incognito. After reading your posts, it makes it clearer to me why you chose it.

agree with it wholeheartedly after watching the video. So, take your insults and shove off. Having a bad day today, are we? I mean after your girl lost the HUGE MoveOn.org by a HUGE predictable number.

GO BERNIE!

I ain't the one who comes across angry. "Shove off"? (and for pro-Bernie alerters, the word is in quotation marks and they're "incognitos", not mine).

Why you angry, bro? Sounds like you're the one who's having a very bad day, but be rest assured, it ain't nuthin' compared to what you'll be having come Super Tuesday.

What did I take from this?

Biden's interview? It seems to me he is actually in Bernie's corner. I always thought he was on Bernie's side, since before Biden dropped out.

Scarborough comments? WTF is wrong with him? Kerry? Biden? Wanting back in the race if Hillary can't do it? OMG, it's over for those two. It's over for anyone wanting to run against Bernie. Bernie will take it all the way, which is what I have been saying since he got in last year. I was Berned, the first time I heard him.

It sure sounds like he's endorsing Bernie...I'll bet Hilary made no friends in this Administration...first Obama refuses to endorse, and now Biden comes out for the other side...

This is not good for Hillary!

And I would bet he doesn't like Hillary. He still had time to run when he announced his decision not to...I think he didn't because Hillary had everything so sewn up with regard to DNC and superdelagates, etc.
