All they have to do is avoid going completely insane. That’s all it will take to emerge from a Democrat primary of roughly 20 candidates, each with their own oddity and far-left capitulation to the base that makes them seem unhinged to the average voter. Playing it straight would help.
But they can’t even do it for one night.

During Monday night’s town hall event on CNN, Senator Bernie Sanders defended the right for felons to vote, including Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev.
His colleague in the Senate, Kamala Harris, followed it up by saying “we should have that conversation” about allowing the Boston Marathon bomber to vote from prison.
Tsarnaev and his brother killed four people, including an 8-year-old boy, and injured 280 others.
Bernie – Let’s Let Violent Felons Vote
Experience The Political Insider without ads
First off, if you’re a Democrat candidate the only reason you’re going to promote a certain voting bloc is that you believe that group is more prone to vote for you.
What does it say about Bernie that he believes violent felons, including terrorists, are more apt to vote for the left?
Sanders, the current frontrunner for the Democratic nomination, made it quite clear he wants convicted terrorists, sex offenders, and murderers to vote from prison.
Not after they serve their time and debt to society. No, he wants them to vote from their cell. And Bernie’s biggest concern for the Boston bomber? That he gets his absentee ballot.

Harvard student Anne Carlstein asked Sanders if his position would support “enfranchising people” like Tsarnaev, who she noted is a “convicted terrorist and murderer,” adding concerns it would benefit those “convicted of sexual assault.”
Sanders’ response is surreal …
“I think the right to vote is inherent to our democracy. Yes, even for terrible people, because once you start chipping away and you say, ‘That guy committed a terrible crime, not gonna let him vote. Well, that person did that. Not gonna let that person vote,’ you’re running down a slippery slope. So, I believe that people who commit crimes, they pay the price. When they get out of jail, I believe they certainly should have the right the vote, but I do believe that even if they are in jail, they’re paying their price to society, but that should not take away their inherent American right to participate in our democracy.”

Sanders’ stance is “beyond extreme, and the rest of the field should be asked to condemn this insanity,” according to RNC Communications Director Michael Ahrens.
Kamala Harris Certainly Didn’t Condemn
Harris followed up Bernie’s crazed comments by saying she was open to having a discussion about allowing terrorists to vote from prison.

She initially called voting a right people “should not be stripped of needlessly” adding that released felons having that right taken from them is racist.
CNN host Don Lemon, who incidentally believes the biggest terrorist group in America is white men, pushed her further asking about the right to vote for people currently in prison or “on death row.”
“I think we should have that conversation,” Harris replied.

There is no illegal vote that the Democrat party is unwilling to court.
There is no felon the Democrat party is unwilling to side with.
And now, there is no terrorist the Democrat party is unwilling to fight for.
Is there nobody with a sense of decency in the resistance party?

bernie sanders should not be allowed to vote he’s insane
Bernie has gone off the deep end for even suggesting such a thing, they must want votes bad. Why? Power and control. Why? Because of their agenda…Socialism.
How much more of a Jew and anti Christian do you have to be before people wake up and see you for what you are. I pray you will repent and see Christ return and go to heaven rather than hell. You can put some of the other far left libs on that list too.
Bernie is out of his brain and live in phantasie land. He prove every time he opens his gob , he is a fraud of the lowest make. Promises a fools Paradise to fools who believe…
Sanders and other socialists, communists,progressives and the whole left insanity ! The Democratic Party need to change his name because is not representing anymore democratic views, is a party promoting already totalitarian left views, totally Anti-American ideals ! Fight against communists take over this great country !
Nice of Bernie to lay this out in the open before 2020. Now only fools could vote for this.
Bernie Sanders is a crazy communist millionaire(should be an oxymoron). He is also a antisemite, an America hater and an Islamist. Avery nefarious individual.A terrorist or criminal has no right to vote.
upon conviction of any felony, you lose all citizenship rights while incarcerated or on parole. full rights are not to be restored, until sufficient atonement is made. and no murderer, can ever make atonement.
What I heard from the clip on Chris Plants stand in has these two criminal enablers, paying coy they think it should be discussed. It may simply be a tactic to negotiate votes for non violent offenders. If there is such a thing.
There is nothing to defend! He has no right to vote.
That person that asked that question should’ve asked a follow up question asking, “What about the right to vote that was taken away from the victims that was perpetrated by these convicted criminals?
They freak out over what they claim is foreign interference in our elections and turn around an want to give the right to vote in our elections to incarcerated felons, foreign nationals illegally residing in our country and just about anyone else who wants to vote in them. What do they want to do? Do they want to disenfranchise law abiding American citizens? Do they want to render our vote meaningless? Is this what they think they need to gain the power and control that so much crave? By the way they only freak out when they loose the election.
These people are insane. Democrats want to stay in power no matter how many crimes they have to commit.
hjhh
There is no one in the “resistance party that has any sense of common decency or common sense.
I guess there’s a reason he’s labeled “Crazy Bernie” I believe he is becoming more senile every day.
Bernie you’re already hated in New England. If this comment doesn’t flush you down the toilet nothing will!
These Democrats are insane
Well what can you expect from a Moronic Dunderheaded Puzzlewit – M.D. P. !!
Seems odd that bernie and others of his ilk believe that a person who has committed murder should not lose their right to vote and yet when you have taken a life you have not only taken the life of an individual but you have also taken all their rights as well, the murder victim has lost the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness not to mention the right to vote permanently.

Bernie will do and say anything no matter how crazy it is to get elected, hmm, crazy good description of bernie, vote for me I am CRAZY BERNIE.
his initials are B.S., which is appropriate.
Democrats are going out their way to make poisent crap for them.I can not believe that want criminals to vote for them. This is going to way to much off Democrats to look for the votes. Why don’t you change and start doing good job and work like a our president who work and give to American people, to have a good life in USA? BUt, this will be to much for Democrats,because they do not know what works means any more.The Democrats are promising everything FREE what will destroy USA economically. There is nothing ,in normal life for FREE. They are promising HUGE lied to people just for to get vote. When some one promise Gold in a sky then you know it is impassible to get that Gold from the sky, because it is to heavy and will fall on the ground very fast and it turns into sh…….t.This is what a Democrats are promising to people.
OMG this old_fart_BernieS is worse than any of communist members.
It’s difficult for me to grasp why someone incarcerated should retain the inherent “right” to vote. Most of a convicted felon’s rights are suspended during the period of incarceration – how is voting different? And some rights are not restored on release from incarceration, e.g. the right to bear arms, the right of those guilty of certain crimes to work in certain occupations or even live in proximity to schools. The right of free association is also limited to convicted felons. I see a slippery slope in asserting that the right to vote is inherently different from these rights.
@Bernie & Kamal – why don’t we just let the criminals appoint OUR judges? FYI the people killed by the Boston Bomber most likely voted Democrat. I have asked this question of the left wing loons before and never have received an answer – What is the difference between letting the ILLEGALS vote and letting the entire world vote in OUR elections?
One more thing Bernie & Kamala – you may think you have won by getting imprisoned terrorist the right to vote – you think you have picked up a vote but like with –
” Tsarnaev and his brother killed four people, including an 8-year-old boy, and injured 280 others.” How much do you want to bet that the families and friends of these 284 people are now voting AGAINST you?
Bernie will also guarantee free Voter Registration Cards for inmates (prestamped “D”).
The RNC needs to use this photo in televised commercials nationwide.
Bernie has to burn:
AAAAAAAWWWWWWW !!! ! !!! ARE THEY REALLY SOOO EVIL ??? !!! ??? THEY ARE LACKING OF THE EVILDOERS LIKE THEMSELVES ARE !!! ! !!! THAT IS WHY THEY ARE SEARCHING FOR THE NUMBERS AMONG THE TERORISTS (THE EVIL TOURISTS) !!! ! !!!
Nationwide voter ID needs to be implemented, although we know the Blue states are heavily against it, as it would limit their voting base severely. Without the illegal immigrant, dead, and felon votes, they (dem party) are on a fast ride to the bottom of the heap. We can only hope they get there quickly.
That’s the law, but most states ignore it (California), and allow the vote. They need to insure they cannot register – not registered, can’t vote.
Depends on the state!
It would be extremely easy to write an algorithm that would eliminate not only dead people from voting, but also underage people and anyone who has been incarcerated in ANY state. Also, every state should have the SAME voter register – at lease for country wide voting.
Better for dead people to vote by those who are criminals and never caught!
You don’t follow the laws so WHY should you be able to vote???
That’s right, and it needs to remain that way.
