    The scream didn’t sink the campaign, every single media outlet insisting that the scream sank his campaign, sank his campaign.

    He was doing pretty well as the most progressive candidate. MSM had to scramble and come up with a reason to publish a thousand articles about how voters didn’t think he was electable. Which made him unelectable.

    Great example of tail wagging the dog and crazy how well it worked.

      I supported him because he was for universal healthcare. Last time I checked he’s a lobbyist specializing in preventing universal healthcare.

        Not to carry water for some liberal ghoul but the entire country abondoning you because the media performed an obvious hatchet job amputation on your campaign would probablly be a pretty strong motivator for anybody to say “fuck these stupid asshole if this is the thanks i get for helping them I just wanna know who’s gonna sign the biggest check possible for me”

        How unfortunate. The corporate media socially engineered the end of his presidential run under pretenses of “immaturity” and he wound up being an “adult in the room” status quo warrior anyway.
