Bernie Sanders’ campaign said Wednesday that the Democratic presidential candidate had a heart procedure for a blocked artery and was canceling events and appearances “until further notice.”
The 78-year-old Sanders experienced chest discomfort during an event Tuesday and sought medical evaluation, according to a campaign statement. It said two stents were “successfully inserted” and that Sanders “is conversing and in good spirits.”This message has been edited. Last edited by: sdy,
This is another in a string of recent signs.... I don't think his campaign goes on much longer:
Is Bernie Over? Sanders Campaign Might Be Nearing Its End
According to Politico, the Sanders campaign is in real trouble. With declining numbers, especially in early primary states like Iowa, and the looming threat of Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), it’s clear Sanders is no longer considered the chosen progressive, and it may be time for him to beat a quick route to the exit...
"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." -- Justice Janice Rogers Brown

I bet he is glad that his socialist healthcare plan hasn't passed now!
You know he is getting some of that gold plated, millionaire capitalist healthcare right now!

So inexplicable that Bernie didn't travel to Cuba or Venezuela to have this procedure done. Why wouldn't he want the best health care possible for such a serious procedure?
Hmm, maybe Bernie figured out the same thing British Rolling Stone's lead singer Mick Jagger did.

AFAIK, nobody has successfully done a full brain replacement- that's what it would take.
An intrusive lobotomy would be acceptable.

Biden, Sanders, Warren, they're all ancient, so this tidbit of info doesn't really come as any surprise.

"The 78-year-old Sanders was taken to a Las Vegas hospital after he experienced chest discomfort during a campaign event Tuesday and sought medical evaluation. Two stents were “successfully inserted” and Sanders “is conversing and in good spirits,” according to the campaign."
Of course the campaign is going to say he's doing great...
Sen. Bernie Sanders’ (I-VT) campaign has canceled its plans for a $1.3 million ad buy in Iowa following reports of the presidential candidate undergoing emergency heart surgery to treat an arterial blockage.
