Barack Obama’s 2012 campaign manager is warning that Democrats would struggle in a general election against Donald Trump if Bernie Sanders is the nominee

.

Messina said he is not endorsing in the 2020 race. He recently attended a fundraiser for Biden in Irvine, Calif., he said, because his wife is a supporter of the former vice president. Messina is the latest Democrat to raise concerns about Sanders at the top of the ticket. Endangered House Democrats are coalescing around Biden because of concerns that Sanders or Elizabeth Warren could threaten their reelection hopes,Sanders’ campaign pushed back by pointing to news reports in 2008 saying that Obama was not electable.

 

Thank you for your comment. Your comment will be published after being reviewed.

This guy worked for the UK tories. Why should Democrats listen to him?

Messina2012

Who you fooling Politico? Answer: Nobody. Those days are over.

you might be surprised to learn that our military is socialist cuz its owned and operated by our national government. Also disaster relief is socialist. Also social security. Also bailing out the banks in 2008 Also bailouts for farmers. In other words your just trashtalking

Nominating Sanders would be a gift to Trump...It would be a landslide for him...Moderates and Independents do not want his ultra liberal policies...and Trump would label him a Socialist like they are already doing...Sanders=4 more years of Trump...Biden can beat Trump!

What a fuckstick. Also curious considering that Obama said he would 'step-up' to prevent Bernie from getting the nomination.

If Bernie doesn't win the nomination, he will try to sabotage the election of whoever is the nominee. There's something wrong with the guy and its showing. I don't really trust him

Over 1000 seats lost under Obama. Why the fuck would we listen to his advice?

He would!

Exactly, the monster can defeat Sanders but no Biden!

What cost the election was running Hillary. Centrists just don't get it.

By this logic wouldn't the Republicans/right-wing media try to prop up Bernie so Trump can enjoy an easy victory? I don't see that happening at all. So their logic doesn't check out. Everyone is afraid of Bernie, Reps and Dems. That is exactly why he is such a strong candidate.

These are the same people who wanted to run against Trump in 2016 👍🏻

The guy who convinced Obama to stall on ending Don't Ask Don't Tell and who wrote NYT piece assuring HRC victory the week of her loss.

If Bernie doesn't win the nomination, his supporters will do their best to tear down the person who does. Party unity is the principle that the Dems lack to defeat the idiot in chief.

Centrism is surrender. Centrism is enslavement. Obama should know.

Maybe, just maybe, this so called Democratic Party should start having bernies back rather than trying to smear him any and every chance they get, you know, since he’s obviously the candidate people want.

Obama is a corporate puppet too so of course he’d say that. Trump will destroy any other candidate. Especially Joe Biden. You guys are all shaking in your boots at the fact that Bernie has a real chance.

I wouldn’t take the establishment’s advice on how to run a lemonade stand at this point. Y’all lost to Donald Trump. They should be embarrassed, apologetic, reflective. But they’re more arrogant than ever! The hubris is pathological.

K boomer

VOTE NO Bernie

DEAL WITH IT

Here you go, Politico go fight with the AP Desk:

Trump campaign managers looks over the field and starts laughing at those losers

This is the same thing all republican strategist said about Don the con. 🤷‍♂️

I actually want to see BernieSanders supporters vs realDonaldTrump MAGA army. Both of them are very aggressive. I’d pay to see that.

Considering that most of the Democratic leaderships ideal candidate was HRC and she managed to lost to DJT, maybe we should sit out any and all of their advice for a few elections?

Masky_Jay_Hoody I call bullshit

To all former Obama staffers: unless you’re coming forward with an apology and an about-face of your centrist nonsense, feel free to shut up and go away forever. Leave us alone, ffs.

Haters hating. If Democrats continue to eat their own like this, yes Trump probably wins. That means Bernie or Warren if they earn the nomination. Stop shutting down Progressives. Election2020

Of course he is. DINO’s hate real Democrats.

Same people that snagged it away from him last time around because Hilary had a better chance...GTFO

The “good old guys” Democrats are nervous about Sanders because he’ll break cycle of sound good but do good for corporations whose lobbies dictate too many policies that hurt ordinary Americans & the planet. If Sanders can’t win over Trump, shame on America. US needs real change.

VoteBlueNoMatterWho

Ha ,ha, says the advisor to the Failed President who's Legacy is the Monster we have in Trump ~ too funny

Must be the same campaign managers that said Hilary was a lock to win. Bernie is the most electable candidate and will continue to fight the corruption in the Whitehouse! BernieSanders2020 tyt endthecorruption

The word is “lose ,” not struggle. There is nothing the GOP wants more in this word than a Sanders candidacy.

Bull shit

Agree

Lol

Lmao THIS Jim Messina?

One word:. Turnout Another Word:. Hillary Hillary was in similar position to Joe in 2016, support and pollwise. Yet the black folk who called Bernie racist and distorted his civil rights record won out in the primary only to not show up at the polls.

Amusing how will pull someone from 2012 to try to dissuade from the momentum SenSanders People4Bernie has been getting. Can we please have a more current/relevant source? He’s not even part of a campaign and can’t see the internal poll numbers. 2020Election

And who else has he worked for?

🙋🏾‍♀️Corporate Democratic’s benefit from the status quo of the American political system. Corporate Democratic’s fear of progressive policies that benefit the people of America is tangible and visible for all to see through these comments about Bernie Sanders electability🤷🏾‍♀️

Someone dig up connections between Jim Messina and Cambridge Analytica.

Imperialist dejects anti imperialist, big surprise

He's wrong though

Everyone should listen to what Jim Messina thinks about elections

Reasons?

hasn't that grifter scammed enough people already?

polling from the last four years says BernieBeatsTrump

I'm listening to Cousin Pookie this time.

Yang with the Freedom Dividend to the rescue! Humanity forYang! Money talks😉😍😳

Y'know what happens to Jim Messina in a BernieSanders administration? Nothing. Politico won't run stories about what he thinks, he'll lose his paid interviews on cable, his next book won't have any 'institutional' buyers. If Bernie wins he's out of a job.

Bernie will never, ever win against Trump. Please start to think clearly Bernie people.

Biden2020 In a different time, he wouldn’t be my choice. But we need to defeat Trump. Bernie ensures Trump will hv another 4 yrs. For Bernie supporters who think nasty tweets to those who believe this is a way to influence voters, it’s not. Ur taking a pg fr the Maga playbook

I agree.

Obama/BIDEN 2012 campaign manager had something nasty to say about Bernie? LOL

Wasn't Messina the guy who 'prayed' for Trump to be the nominee?

Aren't we all sort of agreed on that, with the possible exception of Bernie Sanders supporters?

Shouldn't this mention how Messina has been most recently hired by conservative parties to consult?

Weird. Just heard from a reputable source that Politico intentionally misleads about what the author of the article is in order to hide their obvious bias. But that can’t be right, not from MY Politico.

Duh

Sure. Right.

vote NO Bernie

Facts

False....ignoring fact a significant number of Trump voters would switch to Bernie as indicated last election rather hated Hillary and wante a change in Government . Bernie beats Trumplike no other,

It doesn’t matter who

NoMoreBern

Duh.

No, your party will die off and fade away. without Bernie, old chap. America, feels the Bern!

No.. all of them will be a struggle against Trump. Lol..

Iil become independent vote for anyone except Trump and him

Barack Obama is a Republican, by his own admission.

That scared of SenSanders huh?

This foolish thought is why the Dems lost in 2016. Bernie was beating Trump in every poll in 2016 while HRC was more neck in neck with him. I get it, the establishment doesn’t want Bernie, but you’ll more likely to lose again without him than with him.

Rule of thumb - if a candidate is supported by russian bots (Bernie is) then don’t vote for the fkr! Also...if a candidate & his ppl lie about his heart attack, chances are he is & will be lying about other sht too...

I agree. I think polling this early is not reliable. Of course most Sanders supporters will disagree and will look for ways to refute Messina’s opinion. But it does remain a fact that Obama did win in 2012.

Trump would NOT beat Bernie in a GENERAL election! This person opinion is just that, an OPINION. We all have OUR own personal opinions. I personally don't agree with this person statement for Democrats.

I am ashamed to agree, but I do believe it is true. I am not implying Sanders is not a good man but he somehow reminds me of a democratic version of Trump, everything he stands for is to the extreme. A moderate, stable, reliable individual is who our country needs right now.

I agree. Bernie cost us the 2016 election (with help from the Russians and a non-stellar campaign by hrc), and he's gonna do it again if he doesn't just stfu and be as good a senator from vt. as he can be.

These articles suck!

Struggle. Bernie’s a communist and political failure who is only capable of talking. All talk, no action.

Sanders turns off too many to risk him...especially in purple states that are the key to winning

HillBeverlyhill BeckyBunzy B52Malmet RealAssTalkNow America is still middle of the road electorate

It’s called ‘Projection’

FUBO!

reminds me of DWStweets from 2016. HillaryClinton was a stronger candidate than JoeBiden and she lost. it’s our time. Bernie2020

Lose is the word.

No they wouldn't

Lose. Not struggle. We need an electable candidate. Did we learn nothing from 2016?

these people simply don't want to lose power and their access and proximity to it. i hope we all can ignore them going forward after BernieBeatsTrump clinton lost in 2016. we have nothing to lose but our chains.

Well, all the evidence indicates he is wrong.

Agreed! DON’T IGNORE IT DNCWarRoom

Clearly

Bet he's a Biden guy? Therefore he's either not a student of political trends or benefiting from deregulation of the healthcare industry, Insurance co., Wall St. or banks. You know, all those institutions that have the public's best interest at heart.

Trump would love to run against the guy with the crack head son that got himself involved in the ukraine mesa

That's frightening. If only there was some way to measure the will of the voter and not just trust the word of a guy fishing for a job. If only we had things called polls

Hahahahaha Bernie2020

Not news. He'd love to run against Pocahontas, too, or Sleepy Joe, against whom he has pitted both Senate Republicans and the governments of China, Russia, and Ukraine. He loves the fight, the rallies, regardless of opponent. Governing? Not so much. 1/

No shit

I’m a middle aged suburban working mother. I am warning Democrats that they will struggle in a general election if Bernie Sanders is the nominee. In fact I’d think they’d lose.

Bernie2020 NoMiddleGround BernieBeatsTrump

🐃💩..... BernieBeatsTrump Bernie2020 NoMiddleGround

We should ignore this man’s instincts. Or pay attention so we can do the opposite of what he thinks. Absolutely fuck this guy.

WarrenForWestWing Bernie has good ideas. Senator Warren has plans.

I don't think so...he's probably the most trusted of all the candidates among Democrats and many independents would give him a chance over the status quo.

There is nobody on the democrat side that can beat TRUMP. If Biden is nominee most loony left Bernie folks stay home and if Bernie is nominated he can never win a national. Democrats know they are SCREWED

Plainly out if Bernie or Warren are nominated the Democrats will lose. Americans are not ready to give up their employer healthcare for s government program. We need to rebuild Obamacare and replace what the Republicans have stripped out. Bloomberg and Amy would be electable.

Yeah ok sure buckle up Obama world, the corporate dems, the establishment are having a baby worrying about SenSanders He is the candidate to win. Lol feelthebern2030 feel it you &$?!%r’s yeah baby yeah!

This just in: Rubbish strategist with series of major losses tells everyone how to lose again. CentristsAreRepublicans

I call BS. The DNC coup is gearing up

The D nomination was stolen from Bernie...and Bernie bent over and took it like a good soldier. A fraud committed against a fraud.

Nice try Obama™️ Everyone outside the Dem Inc bubble knows the opposite is true

Once again the Corporate Dems undermining “real” grassroots Democrats and our core values

Yeah no shit.

I'm not sure about Sanders but election turnouts are very low in this country. If the same voters from 2016 turnout maybe Sanders doesn't win but I have to admit he speaks to millions who are concerned about the cost of healthcare. May he gets a larger, different voter out.

No doubt about that. Warren also. I want Trump out. If Sanders or Warren we’re the nominees I would have to vote Independent. That would benefit present resident. I know a wasted vote. I hope Bloomberg gets the nod.

🖕🏾him

You think

If Bernie is the nominee, tRump will win! DEMs ran on fixing the ACA in 2018 and won! Now you want to put Bernie up to run against the ACA and start a 'pie in the sky' health care plan? You want $190 M people to give up their coverage? You want Sr care turned upside down? NOPE!

Democrats struggled with hillary, I bet he thought she'd win by a landslide.

Really 🤔 like how the polls showed that in 2016, Hillary was a sure thing...oh, wait... ThanksDems4Cheetolini WithDemsLikeTheseWhoNeedsTheGOP JustSayNoToCentrisim NeolibralismIsGoingToBeTheDeathOfUs MediaMadeTrump

Too bad they made all the others drop out because they're not made of money, huh?

That’s just his opinion and my opinion is that he is wrong. Bernie is what this country needs. His base is huge!

We'll lose, end of story!

Bernie has millions of supporters behind him. It’s not 2012, anymore.

By being a populist? My memory isn't so great but didn't a certain young black man from Chicago win on that same message? Only to abandon it as soon as his foot entered the White House, anyways.

I agree

If a Democrat wins this year, I’m guilting my job and applying for every assistance program there is... Why work for others to not work?

The fix is in. The crooked Democrat Party will block Bernie again.

Jeremy Corbyn was a far better candidate than Boris Johnson and we need to take that lesson here

Do you guys do anything but carry water for ex Obama and Clinton folks?

Obama's team also said Trump would never be president look how that turned out

Biden is not the best Dem candidate; however, he is the only one who can beat trump

Ha ha ha. Don’t you believe him!

the man left off the list. 10 other Clowns running. CoryBooker is not on list people knew about his tricks long ago

Sorry, Bernie, but I agree. Also, Warren. Too radical.

🙄🙄🙄

It's funny... But I was randomly thinking about this very thing the other day.

They said the same exact thing about Obama.

It takes some balls to vote for Bernie.

The Democrats are ne ver going to defeat Donald Trump, they have handed him another term with there DISGRACEFUL behavior towards Trump. Good on you Donald the Democrats have disgraced themselves before the entire world.

The same guy that said Hillary would win🤔

This is the guy that advised David Cameron to hold a quick Brexit vote because the was no way to lose. The same guy advised Theresa May to hold a snap election to increase her majority, she lost it. He prayed for Trump to win the Rep nomination because HRC would defo beat him lol

What's the deal with Obamaworld and politico, y'all just print anything.

Correction: *Centrist* Democrats will struggle

THAT'S UNTRUE! The polls don't tell us that even if corporate media repeats it again and again. If he LOOSE its lobbyists, billionaires, special interest groups, corporate media that succeeds in brainwashing the American people against their best interests.🤮

Agree, I want to win against Trump and I do not want a socialist President

Yeah cause a centrist kicked trumps ass is the 2016 ...wait. Politico being Politico looks who owns them 🤦‍♀️

The dodo is an extinct flightless bird. Keep on triangulating dodo.

Banned Politico

Messina should be on the *never consult this guy* list.

Don't see a path for Bernie to win. He's never gotten black voters aboard.

Consider the source and keep supporting your favorite candidate.

Possibly, Sanders is my least favorite Democratic candidate, but if he wins the primary, I’ll walk barefoot across glass to vote for him in the presidential election.

Uh oh here we go again

BERNIE will demolish the Pathological Liar.

This guy has spent eight years losing campaigns, why would anyone listen to him?

Well, after the, 🤔 what did WaPo expose in The Afghanistan Papers, oh yea, 8 straight years of lies to the American Public about the war 😳 do U think we see any credibility or integrity from anyone tied to his administration?

Jim Massina you are kidding if he is your guru

True!!

What Messina is saying (if you read between the lines) is moderates NOT progressives are more likely to throw a tantrum if their candidate doesn't win the nomination. If Trump is more acceptable than a progressive to ANY Democrat; they're really a Republican.

This Obama Campaign Manager? Yep, his name is Jim Messina. via BuzzFeedNews

Opinions are like assholes

Our all white dems panel has no chance against Trump

Agree

VoteBlue2020

He is not that good.

That’s true. He has too much going against him with his Medicare for all and socialist label. People love him but not enough. He still doesn’t have the diversity or foreign experience of Biden. He’s our Joe. The right guy for the job. JoeBiden

The Centrist Democrat is not the future. DNC Stop being afraid.

AAWhoLikesMath

Even if trump wins second election, he won't survive it. He'll crumble under investigations. His 'empire' will be lost. Not to mention the avalanche of protests.

Corporate America wants the status quo, so it’s unsurprising that the US media continues to sew seeds of doubt about BernieSanders and ewarren

Jim Messina worked on Tory campaigns in England to destroy their public health system. No Democrat should ever listen to his horntwat nonsense.

AAWhoLikesMath STOP USING TRUMP TO FEAR PEOPLE. It’s gross and something Trump would actually do himself.

Agree

No shit? Obama's thinks anyone cares about what they think, really?

First they ignore you. Then they laugh at you. Then they attack you. Then you win. 👑

Lol that's right Centrists...be afraid..be very afraid coz this time we will not tow the line...we did last time and you dropped us ...this time it's for all of us. NotMeUs

Corrupt, I mean corporate, Democrats at it again. They know we are coming for them.

They are all getting nervous. Bernie will crush Trump. The bottom line is - if we get Biden, we will still be in war, corporations and banks will still run rampant and destroy the environment - we will have a quieter, less controversial appeaser and nothing will change.

Well the genius behind the Remain campaign probably knows what he's talking about

At least Hussein's team is right about something!

Real talk

Bernie is too old and unhealthy, & he’s registered as an Independent, not a Democrat, not to mention, We don’t want no stinking socialist or communist in America. DumpAllDemocrats

Only if you're outright saying voters are dumb, uneducated & uniformed. Is that what the Election 'guru' suggests. 5+million contributions & counting doesn't suggest voters misunderstand BernieSanders 40+ year long stance on the right side of $6+Trillion & the issues.Bernie2020

This very lie, is the reason Obama called Bernie to the WH, and the caucus was MANIPULATED to nominate Hillary... you see how that worked out. If not Bernie on my ballot, then bullets in my guns. It is time to get crooks out of government.

I'm sure this doofus thought Hillary was a lock.

The knives didn’t come out for Bernie in 2016 and they haven’t yet this round. But when they do, and they will, it will be bad.

Obama was one of the only presidents to ever be re-elected with a lower popular vote margin than in his first election, so thinking this guy might actually be shid at his job. Something to think about!

bs

Dude worked for Teresa May, he has zero credibility on anything

of course Sanders would lose, it wouldn't even be close. Look at Corbyn in the UK. The morning after the election it would be dubbed 'The Swing State Massacre.'

He's wrong in real time.

The same guy that told cameron to pursue brexit. And said republicans should nominate Trump because he would be easy to beat. Ill pass on his opinion.

More establishment bullshit. Obama fears Bernie more than anything. He’d rather have more Trump.

Not buy this spoon feed B.S. He may actually B goin around saying this. BUT!! the reason is not cuz he cares about the working woman/man, or cuz of medical bills or healthcare. Trying to scare us N 2 appeasing their donors UsNotMe FeelTheBern (I bet he does)

Yeah remember when Obama ran a progressive campaign in 2008, we all know how much he struggled then

you guys are getting scared

So he’s saying the public, if given a choice between a corrupt psychopathic narcissist rapist, and a socialist with a long history of working for human rights and justice as well as for the improved quality of life for the citizens, the public would lean toward trump? Really?

Umm... I'll see that and raise you one, Politico.

Getting ready to put the screws to old Bern again!!

Bla! Bla! Bla!

Centrism needs to be destroyed this election.

Agree

AndrewYang YangGang

Messina is right. Democratic activists love Bernie, but the public has, for 100 years, been told socialism and communism are the same. We would be looking at a repeat of the last far left Democratic nominee. George McGovern lost to Nixon 49 states to 1.

Yeah sure

And that’s a lie

He is correct.

Agreed

He's Right!! NeverBernie NeverBernie NeverBernie

The real question isn't why it would be hard to win, it's what is necessary in order to win no matter who the eventual candidate is? Trump must go. That's the bottom line. The democratic party has enough self-loathing naysayers, pearl clutchers, paranoiacs and self-defeatists.

Truth

Obama was a Republican

That's status quo talk

Bernie would wipe the floor with trump

Here we go folks! They see it now. Suddenly, a Bernie Sanders Presidency appears plausible and ACTUALLY a possibility. He's surging in the polls and his numbers are soaring through the roof. The establishment's last hope(s) were Biden and/or Warren. Oops! They're scared now!

No shit.

TrinityMustache We'll, they WOULD!

Ok grandpa.

If any of them are the nominee. They’re a bunch of goofs. Every single one of them

no shit sherlock

That's funny. Obama had the same, non-evidence based attacks leveraged against him in 08 when the establishment wanted Clinton.

Choose wisely, and LEARN from what happened last time. If Trump has to CHEAT to stay out of jail, you can be sure it's ALREADY set in motion. If we DON'T fix the environment in the next ten months, we MISS that tipping point for the WHOLE WORLD, NO DO OVERS! No pressure...

Trump also running against Nancy and the Managers. (Hey, that could be the name of a band. )

Bernie and Pete

“Struggle” is the polite way of saying Dems would LOSE.

We need to elect a candidate we can rally behind because of their bold leadership, not hide behind in fear. BernieBeatsTrump Bernie2020

Oh really...

Sanders is, actually, the only chance dems have against Trump

True that!

Please tell him to fuck himself for me, politico..!! 😊

And that while I’ve seen several sources reporting otherwise. How odd.

I agree

They're trying to scare you.

This is the guy who took a big victory in 2008 and turned it into a small victory? It's like the joke about how to leave Vegas with a small fortune. 'Arrive with a large fortune'.

senatorjen Thanks for your concern.

No shit Sherlock.

Possibly

Oh blow.

True That!

No we wouldn't

If Politico stopped bashing Bernie and covered him like they cover Biden or Warren or Bloomberg or Buttigieg, 2020 would end with PresidentSanders leading a historic blue wave across America in a landslide. Get onboard! The revolution has room for everyone.

He is right.

randypcox

Or anyone else

Why? Because Bernie could tap into the same anger Trump did? Except he could offer actual solutions and not just scapegoating and fearmongering?

threesmommy Agree!

Um...let. the. people. decide.

You mean the same Barack who chose Biden as second in command and now doesn’t even endorse him? Barack, sit this one out

I'm so sick of this shit!! If Sanders wins if Warren wins if whomever wins it's because people went out and VOTED for them to be the nominee

It would probably be a bloodbath. I've been a Democrat for more than 50 years and never have I been less impressed by the Democratic candidates for POTUS. :(

Duh

More recently Theresa May's campaign guru

Reminder: 'Obama is a marxist' was a thing... a very big thing.

Let me remind people who may have forgotten or were unaware from the same spin from 2016. The narrative by her friends in the media was that HRC 'most electable' but she actually polled MUCH weaker than Bernie. National polling averages predicted +/-3 advantage She won pop by 2.1

Teresa May's lacky says what?

He’s absolutely right

In 2016 Democrats lost the electoral college because of apathetic voters who stayed home when given the choice between a low enthusiasm Democratic moderate and a high enthusiasm Republican Nazi. I'd like apathy to lose this year.

Ya think? 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Uh-oh ...out come the knives from Bernie Bruhs 🌹

Didn't Messina help out Theresa May? Who cares what he thinks?

This is so ridiculous

If Bernie doesn’t get the nominee he better not pull the shot he pulled on Hillary. And then his people stayed home.

Bring it

and here we go again.

Wonder how they think Bloomberg would do? Unfortunately, the Democrats are going need a pretty good nominee because Republicans have an incumbent. Personal opinion, Iran situation plus possible impeachment might derail him.

isn't this when the tea party surged...

Bernie is not my first choice, but I know damn well I will vote for him if he is the nominee.

I agree Elizabeth Warren as well

instead of leading with “Obama’s 2012” which makes him sound like an expert, why not use some of his more recent employers I the UK and Italy... disastrous.

BarackObama Sit down and shut up.

Polls say different but thanks! A lot of republicans have been writing op eds saying the same thing. Weird.

No

Duh.

StatusQuoFearsBernie

He is absolutely correct. You can see the ads now the republicans would run. Are we going to elect a socialist as president? Are we going to turn America into a socialist country? And Bernie would lose. The focus has to be on only one thing. Who can beat Trump. He isn’t it.

I'm thinking if we can get Dem votes, Independents we should have a better chance.

itsmecamille98 Agreed. Sanders won’t get the Black vote, young vote, or women to vote for him. JMO

JimMessina is wrong. He lied to us before, too.

Obama received 5 million less votes in 2012 than 2008. I’ll ask someone else

Bernie2020

Shhhhhh!!!

The people are truly rallying around an honest candidate with the courage to stand up to the elites. It’s not about the color of his skin, his sexuality, his gender, etc... it’s because of his policies and fight. I assume lots of ex presidents and president wannabes are salty.

As opposed to Joe Biden getting stomped into submission? Just what the public want another Neoliberal corporatist to do nothing, a little at a time. No thanks, Obama.

The intent is to lose, to further radicalize the country into opposing camps.

I agree.👍🤔

greekfries He's absolutely right. It would be 1972 all over again.

If that half assed business man and crooked clown reality star could win - well hell, then a real politician like Bernie should have no problem.

Yes. He is a socialist.

Agree

😂😂😂😂 puh-lease!

ImpactDemocracy Democrats will struggle against realDonaldTrump in 2020, if -____________ is the nominee (fill the blank with candidate of your choice).

Is struggle a new democrat euphemism for losing the election miserably Lol

Andrew Yang has the best chance of beating Trump in the general election. Google him and you'll see why!!

Fact Check: True.

Tell him to go back to his wine cave and let the people decide whats best for them and not best for corporations Bernie2020 BernieBeatsTrump

Breaking: Obama is endorsing AndrewYang (I hope news like this is coming soon)

Looooool the Obama world is delusional af

Dems have literally struggled running center right asshats for the past 30 years.

Bull shite

Very true

Dems have no chance. As a independent, I’m attacked all the time for not being enough for the lefts cause? They don’t get it, I’m for me, my family and my community. Trump

🙄

No shit.

I’m a Democrat that votes for Democrats. Bernie isn’t a Democrat. He’s an opportunist.

There they go, continuously trying to plant seeds of doubt! The world must understand, it doesn’t matter who get the Democratic nomination; we are voting mr. corruption out! Anyone would be better than the 🤬 we have now! trump needs to be in prison!

hey, BarackObama please come and take out your trash.

Duh because even middle-of-the-roaders do not want socialism or frankly anything close. Besides tRump will hammer on this fact plus all the decades of votes Bernie made. It’ll be a disaster. My prediction: continued Red Senate, Red House & Orange will remain 4 more years

Bernie would be a disaster down ballot for Democrats all across the board. The one positive about a Bernie nomination is after he loses he will hopefully go back to the Senate and stay or retire in VT. Just hate to say I told you so and see Trump win.

He's not wrong.

more recently he was Theresa May's Tory party manager during their huge shellacking in 2017, and he repeatedly insisted Trump couldn't possibly win the election in 2016. in fact he arrogantly delighted in his being the nominee. not very bright!

President Obama needs to take his share of the responsibilities for the election of Donald Trump.

Yes they will/many of us know that/his old South American connections will be blasted & his connections with Cuba/socialism will be everywhere/they have a huge oppo research book on him

Jim Messina, like all corporate Democratic careerists, aren’t concerned that Democrats under Sanders would lose. They’re concerned that under Sanders, their cushy positions in the Democratic Party would be jeopardized in a way they wouldn’t be under a hack like Joe Biden.

Well we will prove him wrong in November, and then we can stop acting like his opinion has value.

Oh f$k off. This is a scare tactic from the establishment.

Nah..... I’m voting Bernie. Enough with the bullsh*t. bernie2020

Us patriots know that. We are thrilled at the gift the nutjob liberals have given us this election cycle.

I mean, you’d also think that the popular vote elects a president but this is bizarro world.

I don't want any advice from someone who when their candidate was in office lost over 1k seats.

Because weve done so well with the non progressives . Even Obama pretended

Well, as the saying goes, 'well he would, wouldn't he'.

Yeah, we know. And we’re gonna do it anyway. So get the fvk outta the way. NotMeUs BigUs

Lol 😂

Dude literally advised Theresa may lmao

Was the 2016 election something that happened in an alternate dimension? Was it something I dreamt whilst in a coma? The Democrats nominated the safe, moderate choice in 2016 and Trump was elected. Just remember that when you're reading bs takes like this.

Bernie will shred Donald Trump.
