    How many times does have to tell you he wants to cut Social Security for everyone to believe him? And how many video clips have to exist for people to worry that these would likely all be devastating Trump ads, if Biden is the nominee? A 3-part thread...
  • You, a pundit, spending your night trying to interpret a single moment of silent body language Me, a person, spending my night contemplating a politician erasing their own record leading America into a war that killed hundreds of thousands of people & cost trillions of dollars

    BREAKING NEWS: "Trump has often expressed different worries about the 2020 candidate. In the past 2 months, Trump has repeatedly asked advisers about how Sanders polls...Trump has been privately expressing concerns about the appeal of Sanders."
  • Congratulations to CNN for spending lots of airtime trying to interpret silent body language at the end of the debate, rather than trying to cut the Social Security program that millions of human beings rely on to survive. Great work.
  • Pete is absolutely right in his closing statement -- you really should go to

    Sanders is scoring big on war and peace. His answer calling for international alliances to deal with the Middle East was very strong. Said the two great foreign policy disasters in our lifetime are the war in Vietnam and the war in Iraq, "both were based on lies."

    During the first hour of tonight's debate: 1. donors made more than 15,000 donations, a rate of 250 donations per minute. 2. It was the single best fundraising hour of any debate so far. 3. During that hour we accounted for 43% of all money raised on ActBlue.
  • Bernie during the as other candidates try to derail him from his focus on defeating Donald Trump and representing the working class
  • Bernie had the toughness, judgment and courage to oppose these deals. Biden chose to enrich his corporate donors. That's it. That's the tweet.
  • Biden pushed the China & NAFTA trade deals that enriched his corporate donors and killed millions of American jobs -- and Trump will try to absolutely crush him on that issue in the swing states. Bernie opposed those deals.
  • Bernie is the only leading 2020 Democrat to show the guts to oppose Donald Trump's trade deal, which deliberately ignores climate change -- pass it on
  • Joe Biden's campaign strategy is clear: he is trying to make Americans forget the disturbing, problematic and destructive record of Joe Biden
  • . is now trying to erase the history of him leading the floor battle to help Republicans vote down Democratic amendments to limit the Iraq War resolution. RECEIPTS:
  • Bernie Sanders is the only leading 2020 Democratic candidate to oppose all of Trump's military budgets. FULL STOP.
  • A reminder that while most Democratic candidates stayed silent, has been fighting to stop a war in Iran, way back when it was politically difficult.

    "the vermont senator ended up being the only current Democratic presidential hopeful to vote against moving forward.”
  • BERNIE'S NEW CNN OPED ON STOPPING A WAR IN IRAN: "Far too many Democratic lawmakers went along with these unjust wars, cheered them on, voted for them and even blocked efforts to stop or limit them."
  • Joe Biden just bragged that the reason he can be trusted on foreign policy is because he brought the troops home from a disastrous war that he literally led America into. I mean...REALLY THINK ABOUT THAT.
  • Joe Biden has suddenly gone from pretending he never voted for the Iraq War, to now suddenly saying his effort to lead America into that war was a mistake. AMAZING REVERSAL. Wow.
  • For the first question of the , I'm just gonna resurface this clip that's been viewed 1.1 million times in the last few days, and offer no other comment.
