Hope he recovers and can get enough rest.

 

[Vector]

Ugh. Hope he's alright and can start campaigning again.

 

[Steel]

That sucks.

 

[shem]

Heart stuff is spooky. Glad they caught it.

 

[Coyote Starrk]

Shit.

 

[Kthulhu]

That sucks. Hopefully he's okay.

 

[thefit]

Oh damn.

 

[SurrenderDorothy]

Damn, hope he recovers.
o7 to Sanders.

 

[Blader]

Shit. Good they found it early then.

My dad is getting stents inserted and said it's a pretty typical procedure.

 

[WedgeX]

Heart surgery takes some time for recovery.

I wish him and his family the best.

 

[Keikaku]

Trump mock tweet coming in 3...2..1

Hopefully he makes a full recovery.

 

[Socivol]

Damn I hope he gets better soon.

 

[DavidDesu]

Oh god hope he recovers well! Get well soon Bernie!

 

[moblin]

Sounds like things went fine, he'll be back to normal soon enough

 

[jph139]

He's a spry guy but at that age, the campaign trail has to really wreak havoc on your body. Glad he seems to be doing well.

 

[Mr. Snuffleupagus]

Good they caught this in time, the surgery can take a while to recover from, tricky if he is supposed to be campaigning at the same time.

 

[DrewFu]

Very sad to hear, and I hope he has a speedy recovery.

With that, this also shows the dangers of the elderly running for president.

 

[jack_package_200]

Speedy recovery

 

[Surfinn]

Holy shit no Bernie.. Get better soon please :(

 

[FusionNY]

Hope he feels better 🙏

 

[RailWays]

Shit. Hope he recovers.

 

[AegonSnake]

Damn. He will be out for a while. I know people who had stents put in. Recovery time was 4-5 weeks minimum.

 

[Eidan]

Jesus. I wish him a speedy recovery.

 

[dots]

My dad had this years back and immediately felt way better than he had in a very long time. Stents are pretty minor and, if everything goes well, he'll be back up and running soon.

That said, this may kill his campaign. You don't want a president with heart problems.

 

[alexi52]

Fuck, Hope he gets well soon

 

[Kayla]

fuck fuck fuck. Please be fine Bernie

 

[Method]

Wow. Hope everything goes OK for him.

This.

Get well, Bernie. Stints are a very simple procedure, but his opponents will make it seem like his ticker is wearing down soon and they had to crack his chest. The ignorant are such easy prey.

 

[captmcblack]

Holy shit, please get better soon!

Has anyone ever had heart surgery on a campaign trail before? I know people have gotten sick before, but this is more serious, no?

 

[Abhor]

That really sucks. I hope he recovers well.

... I'm totally expecting Trump to use this to attack him. Ugh.

 

[ReAxion]

Well that's not great.

 

[LGHT_TRSN]

Wish him all the best and a speedy recovery.

Agreed, this could be the final nail in his campaign. His age was already a concern, and now he's a potential serious health risk.

 

[Meows]

I hope he gets well soon.

 

[Huncho_Houdini]

Nooo! Get better soon Bernie!

Also, stent placement isn't necessarily surgery, not in the "open heart" sense that many will imagine - just fyi.

 

[konka]

Wish him the best. That's probably the end of his chance.

 

[manchego obfuscator]

well that's not gonna help with the age issue, that's for sure

 

[xxracerxx]

Hoping him the best.

 

[nightstalker962]

Get well soon Bernie :(

 

[Doof]

Jeez, that's scary. Hope he recovers quickly.

 

[DiceHands]

holy shit

eh, my dad had a quadruple bypass at an age where he was 30 years younger than Bernie. Not really an issue exclusive to seniors.

This.

I don't think anyone wants to be that asshole... except maybe Castro

 

[Masterz1337]

That sucks, glad he was able to get help in time. Don't know what this means for his run, but I hope he does what's right for him. I rather have him alive than running for president or winning it at the expense of his health.

 

[BringBackSonics]

Hopefully he recovers fully. Obviously at this point his health should be his top priority.

 

[ChaosXVI]

Damn...hopefully this really is minor and they aren't just downplaying the severity of the issue to avoid slipping in the polls which, for whatever reason, happens when a candidate so much as sneezes in public.

 

[Hollywood Duo]

Holy shit, please get better soon!

Hard to really say, who knows the actual seriousness of the procedure esd. They say "chest discomfort" but does that mean an actual heart attack?

 

[Big Baybee]

Damn. Hope he recovers well.

Right, but his age compounds the risk and concern.

 

[sgtnosboss]

fuck that sucks, I hope hes alright
