Well this is the very definition of a Friday document dump. The Socialist Sanders campaign has just admitted that Bernie had a heart attack and they hid it from supporters.
Lets contextualize this a bit more: The 78-year old presidential candidate who raised more money than any other Democrat had a heart attack. And they didn’t tell supporters or anyone else for nearly three days. https://t.co/MxGiOu7t6p

More from CNN:
Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders suffered a heart attack, his campaign confirmed on Friday after he departed Desert Springs Hospital Medical Center in Las Vegas.
“I want to thank the doctors, nurses, and staff at the Desert Springs Hospital Medical Center for the excellent care that they provided,” Sanders said in a statement Friday. “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.”
Sanders’ treating physicians — Arturo Marchand Jr., MD and Arjun Gururaj, MD — confirmed that the senator was diagnosed with a “myocardial infarction” and had two stents placed in a blocked coronary artery, noting that “all other arteries were normal.” Myocardial infarction is the medical term for a heart attack.
Wow. I could see why they would want to hide it since he’s so old and people wonder about whether he’s too old. But this is not a good look either.
I would expect that he’s gonna see a drop in the polls, which should make Big Chief Liz Warren very happy…
