This is the reason Bernie didn't vote on the Senate PP defunding bill.

Indeed, the bill will have to be approved by the House of Representatives before it reaches the Oval Office. If it gets that far, the White House has said that President Obama will veto the legislation. Did Sanders not bother to vote because it was a “waste of time”? Maybe, but “By the time of the final vote, Sanders had a plane to catch for New Hampshire,” said Sanders spokesperson Michael Briggs, who reiterated Sanders’ support of Planned Parenthood and noted that “the outcome of the vote was not changed” for Sanders’ non-participation.

He had a plane to catch. Obama as a strong President will easily lift up his pen and veto it. Ignore the hypocritical nonsense of Bernie hates women and *gasp* he missed a vote! Don't get sucked in .

1. He's missed the least amount of votes of ANY OTHER CANDIDATE.

This is an extremely busy man.

4. Attacking Sanders for missed votes is laughable

It seems a coordinated talking point too, which is pretty weak.

7. Upside down land from the Hillary folks.

I saw that thread yesterday and could hardly believe my reading eyes at the ridiculous hysterics trying to tear Sanders down for missing a vote that won't matter.

So sad. But they got nothing else but silly

5. Obama will not repeal the ACA or defund PP

It's really that fucking simple.

6. It was the gazillionth ACA repeal, because the fucktard Congress refuses to legislate

anything useful for U.S. citizens.

8. Why didn't he have a private jet at his beck and call so he could stay for the vote?

9. oh don't worry...

there will be some gnashing of the teeth by certain members of DU over this news.

10. It blows my mind how some posters are making a mountain out of a mole hill out of this.

It's trying to do anything possible to drag someone through the mud. It reeks of desperation while at the same time doing nothing to make their own candidate more appealing (something that she badly needs if she wants to win any election.)
