Bernie Sanders Slams GOP On Voting Rights: 'They're Political Cowards!'

[cal04]

(snip)
"Maybe this is personal because I run for office. Sometimes you lose, sometimes you win," Sanders said, when Rachel Maddow brought the topic up at Friday's MSNBC Democratic 2016 Forum."It has never occurred to me as a candidate to figure out a way to deny the vote to people because they might vote against me. People who do that are political cowards. They're afraid of a fair election."

He said the push for voting restrictions was a "a real crisis in this country" and said legislation or "maybe a constitutional amendment" was needed to guarentee that everyone 18 years of age is registered to vote.

"What Republican are doing is so un-American, so outrageous. It is literally beyond belief," Sanders said. "They're political cowards and if they can't face a free election, they should get another job."

1. Once again they all did well. A lot of people got to see and hear Bernie tonight,

but in a more personal way that refutes a lot of the cranky, crazy old man memes. He hit lots of home runs tonight, but the American people getting a sense of the man was most important.

The Democrats are running circles around the Republicans, especially contrasting with the most recent Republican debate. Too bad we don't have more debates to totally wipe out the Republican field, the difference is that stark!

2. I did not think

they all did well.

HRC was awful. Sorry.

No substance whatsoever.

3. One thing that all our candidates should take more seriously is ELECTION fraud
