I'm not seeing anyone else mentioning this, not much information available.

U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders’ campaign announced the presidential candidate experienced some “chest discomfort” on Tuesday and was hospitalized and underwent surgery. He has canceled events until further notice.

Senior Advisor Jeff Weaver in a statement says Sanders, 78, “was found to have a blockage in one artery and two stents were successfully inserted.”

He describes the Vermont Senator as “conversing,” “in good spirits,” and says he will be “resting up over the next few days.”

I've seen lots of changes. What doesn't change is people. Same old hairless apes.

I was going to take this one down, but it looks like I got some "pity likes" so I'll leave it up. Getting the "scoop" doesn't always work out.

@WoodsDweller

Within minutes of one another. Your essay wasn't up when I went to write mine; once I published mine, there was yours as well.

And, for whatever it's worth, one of the up-votes your essay got was mine.

Of an excuse to derail his campaign.
Media blaring how this hurts his campaign while only the faithful hear how Clinton and Bush had the same procedure at younger ages.
No one will hear that.

@Battle of Blair Mountain
but if it wasn't this it would be something else. The media is his most formidable opponent in this race. If Bernie can win this it will be on his own terms, talking policy to all with ears to hear. If that and millions of $18 donations aren't enough, so be it.
