Senator Bernie Sanders had a heart attack this week, his campaign said on Friday, as he was released from a Las Vegas hospital.

“After two and a half days in the hospital, I feel great, and after taking a short time off, I look forward to getting back to work,” Mr. Sanders said in a statement.

His doctors in Las Vegas, Arturo E. Marchand Jr. and Arjun Gururaj, said in the statement that after Mr. Sanders experienced chest pains on Tuesday night, he was given a diagnosis of a myocardial infarction, or heart attack.

Maybe at this point he should withdraw from the race and just enjoy life in retirement.

Oh no, he had a heart attack as he was leaving the hospital?

Maybe he’s not qualified to be president.

But wait a minute. Sanders didn't stand in line at a taxpayer-funded community health center that also serves illegal aliens, the homeless, and welfare recipients waiting for a doctor? You mean he actually received prompt medical attention from some of the nation's best cardiologists (Las Vegas is ranked in the top ten for heart and vascular care)?

Under Medicare for All Sanders could have stood in line with illegals, waiting to be seen.

In Canada, Bernie would be on a waiting list for an angioplasty.

Of course it was a “heart attack.” It’s amazing how the media covered for him by not saying that he had a heart attack with emergency coronary angioplasty and stents. If he were a Republican, they would have immediately declared that his presidential run was finished, due to old age and the potential for deadly recurrent MI’s.

My only two questions are: (1) Did he have the procedure done in Cuba or in Venezuela — the bastions of modern communist health care?; and, (2) At his age, why wasn’t he triaged onto a death sentence waiting list?

So he didn’t just get a stent.

He had a heart attack either before or after he got his stent.

Good to know the Communist has a HEART! He is an EVIL ATHEIST JEW! How Jews can be ATHEISTS, I have no idea, but he is! My INLAWS know him!

If Bernie was Canadian, he would have flown to the US for his treatment.

That is what rich Canadians do.

Oh, Shucks! This means I will have to watch the next Democratic debate, just to see if Bernie goes down for the count. Who will be the first to try to rescussitate him? What will the moderator say? Will the live audience cheer or boo?

How Jews can be ATHEISTS

I think you can probably put The Holocaust as a big reason, "If there is a God, where was He, then?", is something you hear a lot of Jews say with regards to the Holocaust.

As I posted earlier...I told you that usually a stent insert only requires a day or two hospital down time. When his doctors made it plain he would undergo more extensive diagnostic tests...I knew that Democrat Socialist, Bernie Sanders either suffered a mild stroke or, a mild heart attack. He should retire at once!!! Any voter that casts a vote for him now is not wrapped too tight!!! Bernie is done, finished , toast. Enjoy a long, happy, restful, relaxing retirement...Bernie Sanders, A message from someone that is quite up-to-speed on Strokes and Heart Attacks!!! Hang it up Bernie!!!

Sounds like a cocaine addiction he is too young to be having heart attacks.

Agreed. I detest 99% of his politics but he is one of the very few lefties I grudgingly respect. Love him or hate him, what you see is what you get. He is that rarest of leftists.Which is to say he is and has always been fairly honest about what he stands for. And on very rare occasions I’ve even agreed with him. He is right about how corrupt Wall Street is and that our tax code is of the wealthy, for the wealthy and by the wealthy.
