People who learn about Sanders through the filters of the MSM don't understand fully what he is saying. Tonight he got a national audience to make his case in full. I think it'll resonate.

And, by the way, I, like lots of people in that room, loved it when he zinged the media.

The media has been totally captured. We need to end this bullshit of a biased one sided media. We need to Break Them Up!

was very telling. Jane was all smiles, and Trump's wife (name unknown to me) looked like she had just gotten some really bad news. Seemed as if she didn't want to be there.

NBC Nightly News anchor Brian Williams thinks Limbaugh should get more credit

WILLIAMS: I do listen to Rush. I listen to it from a radio in my office, or depending on my day, if I'm in the car, I will listen to Rush. And he will tell you I've been listening for years. I think it's my duty to listen to Rush. I think Rush has actually yet to get the credit he is due, because his audience for so many years felt they were in the wilderness of this country. No one was talking to them.

[...]

Rush said to millions of Americans, you have a home. Come with me. For three hours a day you can listen and hear the like-minded calling in from across the country, and I'll read to you things perhaps you didn't see that are out there. I think Rush gave birth to the FOX News Channel. I think Rush helped to give birth to a movement. I think he played his part in the Contract with America. So I hope he gets his due as a broadcaster.

I'm glad he got all of his policy messages in, cuz the Corporate Media burying him in a black hole is WHY he has not yet taken fire everywhere. His policy messages are very powerful. They are what most people in this country want. And I never thought I would hear such things proposed again in my lifetime--fair taxation, for godssakes; expanding Social Security; medicare for all; end mass incarceration of African Americans and Latinos; EDUCATE people--free public college tuition like it was in the 1950s-1970s!

I mean, the man is on fire, but many, many people still don't know WHY, and may not even know who he is.

So he had to get a lot of this in, with his first break into the Corporate Media that could not be ignored.

A long speech, though--and Bernie needs some "Throat Coat" Tea (by Traditional Medicinals), a terrific herbal cure for rough throat. Now that he has Secret Service protection, it's probably impossible (or not advisable) to mail him some "Throat Coat" Tea, but, does anybody know him and could you get word to him? "Throat Coat" Tea--that's the ticket! It soothes and heals a rough throat immediately. A few sips before every speech--problem solved.

Here it is at Amazon.com:

15. I would go the the reddit Bernie Sander's page:

https://www.reddit.com/r/SandersForPresident/

It's a wealth of Bernie info and I think there are some people posting who are working closely with Bernie himself.

But I'm not so good at navigating new web sites that are as complicated as reddit (complicated for me anyway), and I simply don't know where my post ended up. I'm sure it got posted, but I don't know who will see it. I used subreddit "newhampshire" cuz I didn't understand the subreddit stuff at all.

Here is the url:
https://www.reddit.com/r/newhampshire/comments/451kuj/bernie_needs_throat_coat_tea/

The title is: Bernie Needs 'Throat Coat' Tea
submitted by Peace_Patriot_DU

On the righthand side, it says: "For all things New Hampshire, please submit links to NH."

I have no idea what this means.
