Uh-oh! Bernie Sanders' testy exchange with MSNBC's Stephanie Ruhle suggests he 'doesn't have the temperament to be president' [video]

The cracks are really starting to show in Bernie Sanders. Maybe it’s the pressure of campaigning. Maybe it’s the baggage that comes with being an apologist for socialists and communists. Or maybe it’s just the fact that he’s a grumpy old man.

Whatever it is, he’s not looking too good these days. Check out this exchange with MSNBC’s Stephanie Ruhle on the subject of Joe Biden’s past work with segregationists:

Definitely. Ruhle even brought up “bipartisanship” to try to help Biden save face, which is only slightly better than her MSNBC colleague Kasie Hunt falsely assigning the segregationists to the GOP.

She said 'bipartisanship' as if Biden and the segregationist weren't in the same party.

But back to Bernie.

@SenSanders What’s wrong with this picture?

Nothing, technically. Since this is pretty much par for the course when you’re Bernie Sanders.

One step away from Trump's "Quiet" to women reporters. "Ma'am," really?!

Don’t get us wrong: We’re not necessarily defending Ruhle, as she was clearly trying to bait him. And “loses his temper” might be a bit of an exaggeration as to what happened. But we can’t help but wonder how any woman or male feminist can support Bernie Sanders going forward. This feels all too familiar.
