Bill Maher enthusiastically affirmed Sen. Bernie Sanders’ (I-VT) preparedness to serve as commander in chief on Friday night’s episode of “Real Time.”
Asked by MSNBC host Alex Wagner if his foreign policy chops were up to snuff, Maher responded, “Fuck yeah! The guy who voted right on the Iraq war? Yeah, I do.”
Maher endorsed Sanders’ candidacy back in October, praising the Democratic candidate’s promise to bolster the social safety net and reform the campaign finance system. During Friday’s panel, he expressed frustration with Democratic voters who don’t see Sanders as electable in a general election contest.
“I think the rules are out the window ‘til proven otherwise. We may revert back to politics as usual but until we do, doesn’t Bernie deserve the people who say, ‘Oh I like Bernie but he can’t be elected’ to shut up?”

But…you’re an idiot.
He sure is but can he get the nomination? He certainly seems to be picking up momentum and more and more black voters seem to be taking a liking to him and working for him. I guess as long as he can continue to raise money he can stay in to find out. I really like him and I like HRC too but I her negatives are freaking me out - and its the negatives with women that bother me the most - not so much young people. Needless to say it will conitnue to be interesting
Bill, are you aware that he´s not anti-Islam?
Hubris is the only chance republicans have to win the presidency and by coincidence, that might be the Dems’ actual presidential campaign strategy.
Okies…is he willing to run ads for Bernie?
Now mind you, i could get into the 'Berniebros’ matter…
