Bernie 2.0 starts today.

Bernie 2.0 starts today but don’t blink or you’ll miss him. What was Bernie 0.0? The undeclared senator who couldn’t get much oxygen because of the Draft Elizabeth Warren movement, which had money and bodies and field offices in New Hampshire, etc. Then Bernie 1.0 was introduced on April 30 when he announced his candidacy for president. This news was largely ignored with just a few titters from the nattering nabobs of Sunday morning talk. He was the fringe candidate who had no chance. But people gave money and started coming to hear him in droves.

Now in less than two months, the new, politically inconvenient Bernie 2.0 has been launched. Most of the general public is still not paying attention, of course, but the chattering class is reluctantly changing memes. Who launched Bernie 2.0? Why, none other than Hillary Rodham Clinton, who yesterday placed a surrogate on Sunday morning to dampen expectations for Hillary and concede that Bernie could win Iowa and New Hampshire (see video link below).

The scornfest will continue because that’s what beltway pundits do with their ignorance. So Bernie Sanders’ middle name on Sunday morning shows will continue to be “self-described-socialist.” But new firewall memes will have to be developed when Bernie 3.0 emerges: the candidate tied with or leading Hillary in Iowa and New Hampshire. Based on his burgeoning momentum and those amazing rallies, don’t blink or you’ll miss Bernie 2.0.

They're defining Bernie with slander and question marks.

Does he understand that racism is real?

He talks about jobs all the time so that means he doesn't care about people of color.

Lie after lie after lie. All obviously co-ordinated with common talking points.
