Why is Bernie Sanders talking about himself in the third person? Is it because he's senile? No! It's because he's the candidate. The most electable Democrat since Eugene McCarthy.
Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders said polls show he’s Democrats’ most electable 2016 candidate and that he’s “gaining steam” ahead of the fast-approaching Iowa caucuses.
Maybe Bernie Sanders hasn't gotten the memo, but we don't use "steam" anymore. We have something called electricity now.
When your party's most electable candidate is a creepy senile Socialist with a very weird personal life who believes Americans have too many deodorant options, your party has big problems.
“If people are concerned about electability -- and Democrats should be very concerned because we certainly don’t want to see some right-wing extremist in the White House -- Bernie Sanders is the candidate,” Sanders told ABC’s George Stephanopoulos on “This Week” Sunday.
They must want a left-wing extremist then. A left-wing extremist who talks about himself in the third person.
Sanders cited a Quinnipiac Poll released last month showing he fares better than his main Democratic opponent Hillary Clinton against Republican front-runner Donald Trump. The poll shows Sanders beating Trump by 13 points, compared to Clinton’s smaller margin of 7 points.
Just about everybody runs well against Trump. It's not much of an achievement. But two old obnoxious New Yorkers yelling at each other in indecipherable accents on the national stage is the election this country deserves.
“For a start, I would urge those voters, the voters all over this country, to take a look at recent polls in which Bernie Sanders is matched with Republican candidates Trump on down [and] Hillary Clinton is matched with Republican candidates,” he said.
I know we've given Obama a lot of grief for constantly using "I", but the Bernie Sanders alternative of talking about himself in the third person is even worse.
