You don't punch a Brooklyn kid without expecting payback.

Bernie is tough as nails. A born fighter.

Did he hit back hard with the "not qualified" statement? Yeah.

But you don't punch a Brooklyn kid without expecting payback.

1. Or as Spike Lee had to say...

And if you'd like to see the longer Bronx rally

[desmiller]

10. YEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH BOOOOOOOYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now WE're Fucking Talking!!!!!!!!!!

14. That's what I'm talkin about.

[Beacool]

25. Meh, Spike can't even convince his wife to vote for Sanders.

She supports Hillary.

[highprincipleswork]

28. Do as you will. For me, I've been a Democrat for too long, and been around too long, and seen

the Clintons in operation for too long to expect they are going to be around for me when my wants and needs as an average American are being addressed by the powers that be.

Bernie? I know he will be there, as he has been for decades, fighting for our rights and our wants and our needs, like the native New Yorker that he really is.

[Bonobo]

34. Whoah, I thought it was okay for women to have their own opinions.

Why would you think that Spike ever even tried to convince her? Or that he should?

2. A real Brooklyn kid doesn't screw up his payback.

[highprincipleswork]

13. Like Hillary knows from Brooklyn.

[Bonobo]

15. She ate a bagel once, on a dare. Does that count? nt

[highprincipleswork]

18. I was wondering tonight if she ever ate a bagel.

[Bonobo]

20. Do bagel chips count?

What about if they are served with pâté or caviar?

[RufusTFirefly]

3. Totally agree.

That said, the Bowery is in Manhattan, not Brooklyn.

[Bonobo]

5. I know but I couldn't find any good photos... lol nt

[highprincipleswork]

19. Check out maybe "Fight the Power" up above, under my first post.

[Bonobo]

21. Been a PE fan for a long time, thanks. nt

[Agschmid]

4. ...

Can we stop pretending we are school yard bully's trying to beat each other up?

[Bonobo]

6. Remember how Harry Reid was always described as a "fighter" because he boxed?

Same idea.

No need to vomit so easily, Agschmid.

[Agschmid]

11. Light gag reflex, sorry.

[Bonobo]

12. Perhaps some chamomile tea?

They also say ginger helps...

[highprincipleswork]

23. I know! Check out the headlines. "Clinton has "lost patience". Will ramp up attacks."

I guess losing so many in a row might do that to somebody.

But if there's a "bring it on" quality to this, I'm pretty sure Bernie can rise to to the occasion. After all, he's the true Native New Yorker.

And I want a fighter like him on my side, looking out for my interests. I've been around way too long, a Democrat way too long, seen the Clintons way too long to think they are going to be by my side when the going gets tough.

7. I think we're seeing why he left Brooklyn over 40 years ago for a place that was easier to handle

[Armstead]

17. You've never been to Vermont?

Cranky Yankees

(I know. I'm one, though not Vermont)

[BeyondGeography]

24. This made me laugh when I read it a while back...as a NY'er who also loves the woods

and small towns upstate, I know what he means:

'He Needs His Fix Of Vermont'

On a recent Saturday Bernie Sanders sat outside an ice cream stand that sells a maple soft-serve called a maple creemee. (I can report it is delicious.) The restaurant has ample outdoor seating and a pretty amazing view of Lake Champlain.

At first, it seemed like the interview might not work, as people constantly tried to say hi to their senator or catch his eye. People walking by shot cellphone pictures.

Sanders told a story about a trip he took back to New York 10 or 15 years ago. It just didn't feel like home, he says.

"I was walking in Manhattan, and I saw people and I'd say hello, and people had this look like I was threatening them," said Sanders. "Here, when you walk down the street, you nod to people and say hello. In the rural areas it's not uncommon for two cars going in a different direction to stop. People chat."

His friends say that, for Bernie Sanders, the hardest part of running for president may be spending so much time away from Burlington. Gutman says that until his friend started running for president, he came home to Vermont regularly.

"I don't mean to suggest he's a junkie, but I think he needs his fix of Vermont," says Gutman. "I think he needs to get his feet on the ground in this state and in this city to feel at home with himself, and I think that is a great thing. He's grounded here."

26. New England (and upstate NY) are great places.

But we can be pretty flinty and ornery too. Part of out charm.

As a reporter who used to cover public meetings, I sometimes felt I had to wear a combat helmet.

[iandhr]

8. Sanders stopped being a New Yorker a long time ago.

[desmiller]

33. Just like Hillary....

Naughty list you go.

[DetroitSocialist83]

9. You Hillary supporters

Stopped being progressives a long time ago.

[highprincipleswork]

16. Amen to that. Question is why? She seems the least pragmatic, most dangerous choice.

That is, for anyone who is an "average" American. The elites - they'll do fine with her.

[Bonobo]

29. I changed the photo. nt

[highprincipleswork]

30. Always love the Bowery Boys. But I dig your choice.

[flamingdem]

22. Great punch from Bernie

Rumble!!!

Everyone takes sides, New York is the place for this race.

Hillary's campaign so deserves this for their snobbery and redbaiting.

[Octafish]

27. A BIG Payback.

[highprincipleswork]

32. GREAT SONG!!! Didn't notice you posted already. So great, and I have some advice below.

As he says, I would think we are all wanting some "get bacK", after many years of going down without a fight.

How about listening to this, well probably dancing because you just can't help it, and then going out
canvassing or phonebanking for Bernie!!!

New York can be ours. And that would be the best Payback.
