You look like a million, and sound even better.

As for Trump, when the Cambridge dictionary issues its next edition they should put his face in front of the word misogyny.

I don't believe it moves the needle at all to go on Liberal networks.

The best chance you have of making a difference is to tell the truth to Conservatives and make a good argument for it.

a direction for that needle, moreso while trashing talking about Sanders.

The piece reminds me of that token liberal that Fox used to trot out...

Treat him like a king and chastise someone for trying to do the same thing.

Besides which, Sanders isn't that good of a debater.

Think about that the next time you are 'representing the left' for the benefit of a fake-leftist corporate aristocrat who is shoveling Wall St. money at the media to buy herself some popularity.

I just can't wait to see what's on tap the next time Clinton is calling for more war. She is half-way up PNAC's checklist.

I'd concede Fox viewers may have some strays who can be convinced otherwise, but you have to be a real fucking nut to watch Newsmax.

I found it a pointless exercise, but I bet it's easier to turn a religious but non political person on to socialist economic policy than turning a person on to even moderate Democratic views who goes to Newsmax because FAUX isn't right wing enough.

Bernie NEVER promised anything other than to work toward those goals. In order for that to happen there has to be more progressives elected to congress and senate. He's completely realistic, while you were very disingenuous on that show. I'm just glad nobody watches that RWNJ channel.

If he hasn't promised to do it, what is his fallback plan? If and when he fails to get single payer, what's his plan B? How about a $15 minimum wage? What will he settle for?

It's not as sexy to promise more realistic goals so he doesn't bother with that.

And your bullshit "promise" word has never been uttered by Bernie about anything other than he will work hard towards these goals. Goals are not immediate. We are adult enough to know this. Problem is, we also know everything we need to know about Hillary. Good night.

It's really simple. Reply with the names of the GOP committee members who vote to move Bernies bills out of committee and also with the requisite number of Republican house members overall who vote for the bills in a full House up and down vote.

If you can't do that, and we all know you can't, my point is made.

which you refuse to acknowledge because you think oversimplifying Bernie's position to push a falsehood is acceptable.

Throwing some non-sequitur quiz in his face is pretty entertaining though. Its like NewsMax found a new soulmate.

Why is that? I would like to hear the answer.

They're smart and they think for themselves - Shame on you for implying otherwise.
