Bernie Sanders on Bill Maher tonight. Video. Standing ovation.

[madfloridian]

His secret? Tell the truth.

Cuts off rather abruptly at about 4 minutes. Wonder if there is a 2nd part? If so not at You Tube yet.

[woolldog]

1. He will make a great

Secretary of Labor in the new Clinton administration.

[Hoyt]

3. For sure some important cabinet/advisory position, like Scandinavian Transition Secretary.

That is where we need to be headed soon.

[cali]

4. like it or not, my snide corpo-supportimg friend, he's having an unexpected

impact on the prmary

[Aerows]

7. It is funny

the straws that the anti-Democracy folks keep rolling out against Sanders. They claim to want a primary, but only if Hillary wins it.

He is a viable candidate - and that is scaring the shit out of the corporate wing of the party.

The corporate candidate might just not be the shoo-in they thought she would be. It's 2008 all over again.

[Aerows]

6. Nothing else to hit him with?

No other smears to offer? If that is the worst you have, you'd best step up your game, because that is deterring exactly no one.

[corkhead]

15. given who you apparently support I find your sigline quite ironic. eom.

[Hoyt]

17. Naw, he was realistic. No need to let a Republican walk in the general election.

[cui bono]

2. You can get audio for free on a podcast.

Don't know when they have those ready, but you can listen to the audio of the show using any podcast app for free. Seems to me that by Monday the previous Friday's show is up. Maybe sooner.

[Aerows]

5. He is one of those people that is rare in this world

He believes in a better world, and fights to make it one.

[ConservativeDemocrat]

11. People that are "rare"...

[Zorra]

18. People that are "conservative"...

[Iwillnevergiveup]

8. Maher shortchanged Bernie

Women are gonna vote for him in droves - those who are concerned about equal pay, those who want affordable day care and college for their kids, those who want medical coverage, those who maybe want to work one job instead of two, those women who love other women, those who want reproductive rights intact, those who would like to see the minimum wage raised, to name a few.

I'm glad he had Bernie on his show = more young people will see him, but Maher is still a little too snarky about Bernie's candidacy for my taste.

Thanks very much for posting, madfloridian.

[madfloridian]

9. The snark is why I only watch the videos later.

I only watch the parts I want to watch. Quit watching Bill Maher years ago for that reason.

That video really cut off suddenly.

[Kalidurga]

10. Maher is a Libertarian I am actually surprised at how much he seemed to love Bernie.

Yeah he seemed kind of snarky, but I think that is just the way he is.

[donf]

12. Not anymore

Maher used to be a libertarian, but he self-identifies as a liberal these days. If you have been watching Real Time for the last few years, the shift has been evident, and, I believe, genuine.

[Kalidurga]

13. Awesome

I haven't watched regularly for a long time. I catch clips sometimes on mediaite.

[djean111]

14. That made me roll my eyes. I am a woman, and I cannot wait to vote for Bernie.

I think the Hillary camp is/has vastly overplayed and overestimated the gender card. I am actually offended by the assertion that I would vote for Hillary just because we are both women. That is ridiculous, and yes, shortchanges us all.

Maher was very snarky, and his remarks were, IMO, fairly sexist, but Bernie calmly went ahead and shone. Lots of applause.

[Fast Walker 52]

16. I saw the whole interview on the show and it made me worry a little.

Sanders had a couple of good lines, but I thought he seemed a little off. His laughing seemed awkward. Maybe he wasn't sure how light-hearted he should be. His bit about Saudi Arabia and ISIS fell flat.

I am a huge Sanders supporter so I say this as constructive criticism. I do worry a little bit about his charisma. Honesty and a good message may not be enough for him to win.

[madfloridian]

19. Most huge Bernie supporters are more concerned about issues than his laugh.

[Fast Walker 52]

22. as am I!

I just had a touch of worry. As I said, Bernie seemed a little off in the interview, and I've seen him be more natural in other settings.

[Prism]

20. Luis Gutierrez immediately followed him

Guess he knows who the socialist is now

[bvar22]

21. I very much enjoyed seeing Bernie on with Bill Maher.

Unfortunately, Ann Coulter was his walk on guest,
and just seeing her makes me want to puke.
She got schooled by the panel,
but Coulter doesn't mind negative publicity...in fact,
her career is based on it.


The best thing the Liberal Community could do is simply ignore the harpy from Fox.
(But here I am introducing her into this thread about Bernie.)
I couldn't help it. I needed to get her out of my system after seeing her "performance" last night.
Ugly.....uglier than ugly.
Sometimes, people like Coulter get to live Rent Free in my head unless I have a DU Exorcism.
