We now begin the entry into stage 4 of the Bernie Sanders campaign

[virtualobserver]

1. First they ignore you

2. then they laugh at you,

3. then they fight you

4. then you win.

[merrily]

1. From your keyboard to the ears of Democrats in voting booths, midear.

[Beartracks]

25. Occupy Voting Booths!

==================

[merrily]

26. Amen!

[merrily]

28. Sounds good! More Americans need to vote.

[Live and Learn]

2. Feel the Bern!!! K&R nt

[7wo7rees]

3. From your pen to God's and all the angels ear........

If only........

[NightWatcher]

4. No. This is the Fight!

[virtualobserver]

5. It is the transition. They are still fighting. Bernie is winning.

6. I'd like to agree with you, hell I wish I could, but David Brock and all the other dark money

purchasers of both policy and politicians have just gotten the word straight from Bill Clinton's lips to go heavy on #3.

Realistically what this means is that all the corruption our system has to offer or can be purchased is going to reign down on Bernie via Antisemitism, red baiting, Straight out lying, shady distortions of the truth, tampering with the system in any illegal way they think they can get away with and push-poll lying calls made across many states. In short, the kitchen sink.

Only after that or they run out of money to pay off their henchmen will it be time for #4

[leftupnorth]

7. I dare them! N/t

[Dragonfli]

11. You don't have to dare them, they are being payed handsomely by every shady corporation

and bank in the world to do so.

If it is any consolation, they used the same desperate tactics on Obama and it backfired on them.

I personally believe all they will accomplish is more fund raising for Sanders, a few low information voters that won't be enough, and an increase in Hillary's unfavorability numbers from 56% to somewhere in the high 70s.

[leftupnorth]

16. I agree. We have entered a positive feedback loop.

The more they attack him, the better he does. The best thing they can hope to do is imitate him.

[Dragonfli]

19. LOL, I saw that Hillary already started trying the imitation thing in her speech. /nt

[leftupnorth]

20. Yup I noticed that as well.

What's that saying about the real thing vs a pale imitation?

[Dragonfli]

21. I'm not sure, but green plastic will never look like Jade and brass will never look like gold.

No matter how much either one is polished with hundred dollar bills.

[questionseverything]

9. let us celebrate for a min tho

[Dragonfli]

17. Sure, I'm down, see ya there!

[virtualobserver]

10. all of that will continue to backfire....she will be forced to run to her wall st friends...

Bernie will continue to call her out on each fundraiser by name, while money flows to him like water.

The Hillary campaign will come apart at the seams as the egos connected with it rage against each other.

[Dragonfli]

12. I agree with all your points /nt

[virtualobserver]

13. did you happen to catch Chris Hayes say that Bernie's campaign is the best run of all....?

Repub or Dem.....perfectly executed strategy.

[Dragonfli]

15. No unfortunately or perhaps fortunately

I am not cursed/blessed with a television or cable.

[virtualobserver]

18. Fortunately is probably correct....You probably have peace of mind

[hedda_foil]

24. I doubt the Hillers will use antisemitism because they're in with APAC and Jewish mega donors.

Trump, on the other hand, might go there.

[enigmatic]

8. No

We're still in the fight stage, and as it's nears SC it's going to get progressively uglier.

But Bernie has the Big Mo and his campaign is clicking on all cylinders.

[pa28]

14. Shortly we're going to have a stage 3 and half.

The "what does Bernie want" stage. They'll try to offer him something or bargain in the hope he'll go away.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

22. I think Bill is still on 3

[virtualobserver]

23. As I watch Bill, I wonder if he is up to all of this

[mikehiggins]

27. Nope. Stage three hasn't even gotten started.

The attacks so far are of no consequence. Bernie is right. The kitchen sink is on the way.

[WillyT]

29. For You...
