Dems Should Focus On Bernie Sanders, Not Bloomberg: Eugene Robinson | Morning Joe | MSNBC

[KingBedlam]

“Former” Republicans on MSNBC not liking Sanders makes me even more inclined to vote for Sanders.

[fareedalazeem]

So apparently, Unity and not tearing down each other is very important, unless of course it is to stop Sanders...And we're the divisive ones.

[jacobsmith]

Bernie bro checking in. Go Bernie Go!!!! Play nice everybody.

[errollaaron]

I personally believe Bernie is actually leading in South Carolina. I hope Bernie wins South Carolina.

[jenjensandiego]

They don't go after him because they have nothing to use. His policies are concrete.

[raybellows]

Lol, what can they attack Bernie about? The fact that he is for the people?

[alexi]

Bunched up near the top? Bernie has a 7 point lead to the second place with a field this big.

“We don’t want to pick a horse but we know we don’t want who the majority of Americans want”

[trevorchapman]

So clueless. We the people want money out of our politics.

[TCt]

0:49 hahaha Gene ofcourse you're picking a horse in this fight.
You have NEVER liked Bernie and it is just shameful.
Imagine being against the candidate that wants to give ppl healthcare.
These out of touch elites really make me sick

[MarsOpposition]

If Hillary Clinton was in the same position that Bernie is now.. They would be saying how we need to hold hands come together behind Hillary and sing Kumbaya

[danielkruger]

Attack Bernie for 3 houses? Except for the money from his best selling book, Bernie is one of the poorest long term Senators.

[TheInsomnatech]

Bernie Sanders doesn't run away and hide he's out there every day fighting for people. Maybe Bernie keeps coming out unscathed because he is the best candidate.

[ToyJesusLovesTequilla]

Fall in line Eugene, bend the knee, the people have spoken Bernie 2020

[ivankaspeadsforquincyjones]

Give power back to the people, Bernie 2020 the middle-class have suffered enough

[melkor]

Correction: Everyone is attacking Bernie and saying things like "Whose gonna stop Sanders" 🤦🏽‍♂️

[Joaocoimbra]

They should focus on uniting behind the frontrunner for the sake of party unity, just like you called for Hillary 4 years ago

[shawanaryals]

Morning Joe doesn’t like Bernie because he’s a former republican who likes Buttigieg.

[[Edit: Washington Post is owned by Jeff Bezos, which owns the WP commentator on this clip]] Speechless! I don't know what these guys were watching but everyone on that LV debate stage took shots at Bernie - called a divisive communist, Bernie Bros, his houses, etc... and Bernie gave it right back to their faces and emerged unscathed. Even Andrew Yang on CNN commented on Bernie being indestructible. Why? Maybe because, when it comes to integrity, consistency and trust -- no one on that debate stage can touch Bernie and they all know it. The last time Warren went after Bernie, she tanked for weeks after. I think the more important takeaway is that all of the Democrats on that stage RESOUNDINGLY united against a billionaire buying his way into the Party. How about commentary about the DNC changing its rules to allow Bloomberg into the debate and how it backfired in spades!

[ReVerseMe]

Keep bashing Bernie....it reinforces my desire to vote for him because you are so scared!
