After watching his front-runner status quickly evaporate and falling almost hopelessly behind in the delegate count, Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders is taking his presidential campaign in a new direction, calling into question former Vice President Joe Biden’s ability to grasp issues.
Appearing in a “town hall” on the Fox News network, Sanders hit Biden for limiting his campaign speeches to under seven minutes and boasted he could talk about issues at length.
“There are real crises facing this country. When I give a speech, often it’s 45 minutes or an hour, OK? Because there are a lot of challenges that the country faces, and I’ve got to talk about them,” said Sanders.
“You know, I think Joe was somewhere — where was he, I don’t know — Michigan or someplace else the other day, and he spoke for seven minutes. I don’t know how you say anything other than, you know, minimal discussion in seven minutes,” Sanders continued.
“We’re talking about real issues, alright? And we can go on for three hours talking about them,” said Sanders. “If I’m going to give a speech to people, and that was at a rally or an event that he held, I can’t do it in seven minutes.”
The new line of attack does not directly question Biden’s mental state but does seem to imply Sanders believes Biden isn’t capable of grasping issues at length.
Sanders then said he was “not going to go to that level in attacking” Biden’s mental state, even though saying “I won’t bring up your mental issues” brings up the issue.
“You know, that’s for people to decide,” Sanders said. “All I can say is Joe and I have very significant political differences. And I’m not going to be making, you know, personal attacks on Joe. That’s not what I do.”

This is the last year he can run as well as Joe if he makes it. Joe is getting worse now
Joey has shit for brains.
Right on, Suckoff, Joey is one dumbass motherfucker.
Please Suckoff, that is a real slam on s–t!!
Any one who wants Sanders is really stupid. He IS a communist and also does not know ANY truth. God help us.
Joe is SENILE. The DEMON-RATS want him to be president, so they can impeach him, declare him unfit, and send him to pasture. The VP will be the MOST IMPORTANT person the DEMON-RATS will choose. It will tell the country who and what will govern the people.
Bernie WILL NEVER MAKE IT to the presidency. The people are aware of his idiotic stupidity.
Socialism is NOT YET in the future of the USA.
BERNIE is pissed from the last primary in 2016 whencreepy DONNA BRAZILE and WASSERMAN-SCHULTZ gave HRC the Debate questions when she faced BERNIE. The DEMS are flagrantly crooked right out in the open.
The Democrats and their accomplices in the DISHONEST media are crooked….now they are siding with China over Trump over coronavirus…. It is a CHINESE VIRUS….
PS: When Trump correctly closed down entry from China to America on Jan. 30th….Biden called him xenophobic and racist…..could you imagine how much worse things would be if that IDIOT was now President…
Bernie is just drunk from swallowing all of the cum from the cocks that he sucks.
Dems suck dicks.
Bernie says that he’s not going to make a personal attack, as he makes a personal attack.
HaHa! Yeah – Bernie says, “I’m not going to say Joe is stupid and senile even though he is!”
Bernie is a stupid POS
Bernie eats shit too.
Bernie, IT IS NOT a WISE MOVE to SAY YOU ARE ATTACKING BIDEN’s INTELLIGENCE …THAT PRESUMES HE HAS intelligence, AS YOU WELL KNOW INTELLIGENCE IS NOT a HIGH PRIORITY FOR THOSE of THE DONKEY PERSUASION…ESPECIAALY THOSE WHO ADVOCATE FOR HEALTHCARE for ALL and OTHER COMMUNIST THOUGHTS, RIGHT BERN?
What do you expect, Bernie has shit for brains.
The two left (pun intended) standing Demoncrat hopefuls are about as pathetic a pair that could EVER be put out by a political party. My opinion is that the Demons KNOW they can’t win any election so they figure they will put the worst of the worst, old demented geezers, out front and gladly throw them under the bus. Neither one of these guys should be running for a federal job in any capacity. In this day and age you need a person that has a grasp of how the real world operates and how to negotiate with foreign AND domestic politicians and governments. LIKE TRUMP! There is NO one currently in the Demoncratic party that comes close to having the qualities needed to run this country with regard for the citizens who look to the government to do what it was originally intended to do. Protect, make and uphold law, and ensure that it’s citizen’s are represented by the will of the people, NOT ideologies of radical groups contrary to our Constitution and the American way of life. Our Founding Fathers, those early patriots, built a Republic with the ideals and laws put in place along the way to insure that even today it represents the best system of all time. Where ever you see liberalism, progressivism, identity politics, political correctness, delusional acceptance of gender and life styles contrary not only to society norms and the laws of nature, you have chaos, division, violence, a divided country and dangerous political unrest. Eventually our country will devolve into a struggle to keep our Republic as intended or “fall down the rabbit hole” the way the rest of the world’s “woke” societies have gone. We are at a cross road and so close to the abyss now we can’t give up the fight or we well go down in history as another failed society.
Linda 100% Correct! Intelligent and thorough answer
I think the length of a speech is certainly not a factor when considering the electability to be President. It is time to realize that the Democratic Party does not have a candidate. Let’s not change horses in the middle of the stream. Vote for Donald Trump.
Chicks you are so correct! With you all the way. ?❤️????❤️? KAG 2020 Trump
Both Bernie and Biden are dumbass motherfuckers with shit for brains. They are old, ugly, bald and senile. They need to retire to Florida and spend their last days jacking off on the beach.
What do you have against us in Florida?
Dam I feel like I need a shower after reading some of these posts wow
Could you please avoid proving to the world how ignorant you are by the gutter language you seem so proud of. This certainly doesn’t mimic the wisdom and education of the founders who developed the American form of government that has made us such a great nation.
He said he wasn’t going to the level in attacking Biden’s mental state ? That’s what he did when he brought it up! Man, he really does think we are as dumb as he is! Of course there are some dumb people out there that want him for president
Did anyone see the statement Bernie put out about what positions he expected if he pulls out of running for the president. He will be in charge of the democratic party lock, stock and barrel. I hope the democrats aren’t that stupid to allow him all he wanted. He is so desperate to be president I think he going off the deep end because he knows there is no more chances for his ever being elected. Guess he didn’t realize he never would have been elected no matter how many young voters he had for him.
I Agree with Stephanie
Biden wins he’s Impeached and the
VP becomes President
Hillary Clinton
We are Smarter than the idiots DEMOCRATS
Seven minutes of meanlingless dribble is too much but better than 45 minutes of meanlingless dribble!
It was so SAD to see the Democrats, Pelosi / Schiff destroy the entire Democrat Party. They did it to themselves because they are still reeling over LIAR – IN – CHARGE HILLARY losing in 2016. The constant bombardment against Trump for over 4 years has been so idiotic and petty and they are reaping the whirlwind now and for years to come. Looks like they impeached the wrong politicians ! At least if it would have been Pelosi and Schiff, they would have truly deserved it.
bernie has no idea how to build a speech. Most great speeches are done in minutes. To expend into 45 minutes means that he plans on trying to CONVERT you into his frame of mind. To become a communist requires a lot of convincing. Too many examples of communism are readily available: china, Albania, Venezuela, etc. We see the shape in which they are. We saw what USSR was like before 1989. bernie is just another STUPID idiot who cannot focus on one good point the socialism will bring us into. So he speaks for hours to convince himself to speak long enough to hope to convince a few ignorant youths.
