1. He's amazing!

Glad he got to clarify his stance on BLM. There was never any question in my mind but most people don't know Bernie very well yet.

17. What disgust me is that the Toad has the position that he has.

He is absolutely unfit for any journalistic position. His sole job is to lick the asses of the oligarchs. When they announced that the Ed show would be canceled it became apparent that the oligarchs are determined to squash the populist movement that has caught them unaware of its depth and intensity.

Hopefully, they have again miscalculated and will only awakened more of the working class to the fact that a dramatic revolution is afoot and they had better make adjustments or it could become volatile. The unrest is at a fever pitch. The minority African-American and Hispanics have had enough and are fighting back. Their discontent is being matched by the working class who are being facing with extinction. The massive transfer of wealth that has taken place can not be sustained. Perhaps the working class who support their own destruction will finally wakeup and finally realize they are nothing more than hopeless pawns.

2. Bernie ROCKS! He took the toad to school.

He didn't miss a beat!! Go Bernie!

MSNBC please note my TV leaves when chuckie comes on. Everytime!

[merrily]

3. I never knew toads were so much like deer in headlights!

[merrily]

4. Response to OP #1. If one more talking head compares Bernie to Dean or Trump, I just may

die laughing.

Thinking they can be that transparent without Americans catching on greatly insults the intelligence of Americans.

[merrily]

5. delete; wrong spot.

6. No wonder the media is afraid to cover his campaign...

Bernie is articulate, intelligent, and aware of what needs to be done in the U.S. if we are to continue as world leader. It is not about a few billionaires, it is about We The People...

[merrily]

7. Response to OP #2: Toad zeroed right in on things about which the left is hurt and nothing else.

That indicates to me a bad faith interview, which has not been a surprise with Toad or MTP as to Democratic interview subjects for a long time. Granted, Russert was not so flat-footed and obvious about it as is Toad. On the other hand, at least Todd did not interrupt Sanders's answers.

Bernie's point about needing to find common ground on weapons if we are to pass anything at all is valid.

[Dustlawyer]

9. Yes, the opposite was true. Bernie cut Chuck off almost every time before he could spew his crap

completely! Bernie's experience in this area is priceless. It doesn't hurt that he is always the smartest one in the room!

[merrily]

10. His ability to roll facts and correct figures off his tongue stuns me.

And he brooks no bullshit, which is all Toad usually serves up.

8. Choke Turd is a fuckin' joke

Take your talking points you were hoping to score points with and go home, you mental midget.......Adults like Bernie are trying to tell you something!!

[blackspade]

11. I loath Todd more every time I have to see his smug face.

What a prick.

[Gregorian]

12. Who let an intelligent person into Congress? It's the economics, stupid!

This is what an intelligent politician sounds like. More than intelligent: caring and knowing.

We have a rare opportunity to alter our economic situation, with Bernie, and even though Americans don't know it yet, we may just get the chance to change the system to stop exploiting us. Most people don't even know what that means. Read Marx. Yes, Marx.

13. Wow, great job by Bernie!

Thanks for the link or I would not have bothered to watch it.

People really underestimate Bernie.

He's been presenting his message in contexts where the interviewer doesn't want that message told, and he's been doing it for many years. It's clear he has an excellent skill set for doing so, he doesn't let the interviewer steer things astray, stays on point and hammers it.

That's a great and rare skill to have, good for campaigns and good for being a leader. And he manages to do so without dehumanizing or pissing off the person who is interviewing him, he makes points, not enemies.

[appalachiablue]

18. Well said. Bernie's mind is very, very fast. He's on it, 5 steps ahead and manages

to be firm yet not overbearing when countering people like Toad. Watching Bernie's skill in this area I find quite impressive; and it can't be learned, it's natural. Do not underestimate Bernie Sanders. Presidential material, absolutely!

[2banon]

14. ohhh.. that was soooo Sweet! <3 <3 <3

[turbinetree]

15. It is was amazing on how Toodle Toad ...................

had the smirk taken off his face when Sanders answered his dismissive adjective laden right wing talking points on trying to blame Sanders as being the problem----------------no Toodles Toad you are the problem--------------- you are a corporate hack


Honk -----------------for a political revolution Bernie 2016

[BlueStreak]

16. Uhhhh Chuckie ... Trump is one of those 0.1%

Too bad that Bernie didn't just say that, but he was probably smart enough to know that if he went there, the next 48 hours of the media dimwit circus would be all about the throwdown between Sanders and Trump.

That's some very good discipline by Bernie. He's a lot better at this than I expected.

[colsohlibgal]

19. Tell It Bernie!

His passion shows through, you know he really means what he says, it's not just lip service to get votes.

[AzDar]

20. Ol' Chuckles was in over his pointy little head...

Bernie drank his milkshake...

[valerief]

21. I love Bernie, but there's one way he's like Trump, and he showed it in this clip.

They both say, "Yooge."



Other than that, they're light years apart.

22. Thanks Manny nt
