Sanders seems to be spending particular attention on Brooklyn

[brooklynite]

Demanding a debate here

Rallies in Flatbush, Coney Island, Greenpoint, Park Slope

First campaign HQ in Gowanus

Yes, I know he comes from here, but he, and his advisors don't seem to know the territory.

2.6 M in population (only slightly smaller than the entire City of Chicago -- which Clinton won big).

The millennials in N. Williamsburg won't overwhelm the African-Americas in Crown Hts, Bed-Sty and East NY, the Hasids in S. Williamsburg and Borough Park, The asians in Sunset Park, the Russians in Brighton Beach, the...

[northernsouthern]

1. Look with in for the answer.

Yes, I know he comes from here

[Armstead]

2. LOL

[JonLeibowitz]

5. LOLOL

[brooklynite]

7. Nobody cares if you came from here...they care if you're here now.

[JackRiddler]

16. Thank you for one opinion out of 2.6 million.

In New York, as you know the saying goes, everyone's got one.

[brooklynite]

22. Fair enough....how will Sander do here?

I say he'll lose by 150,000 votes

[JonLeibowitz]

35. I can say with 99.99999999% confidence that you are incorrect.

I would even bet money on that.

[elleng]

3. He was in Buffalo (yesterday, I think.)

I haven't followed his other state activities.

[JonLeibowitz]

8. Hillary supporters seem to pay more attention to his campaign than I do.

Some might call it obsession.

I mean, I don't think he's a perfect candidate by any means, but the obsession is getting to be quite endearing.

[brooklynite]

14. Since he MIGHT (unlikely) be my nominee, I DO pay attention to him

[GeorgiaPeanuts]

37. Acceptance is the first step to recovery!

Glad to see a Hillary fan finally concede the possibility

[elleng]

15. Jon, I don't find it endearing AT ALL.

WISH I did!

[JonLeibowitz]

21. Neither do I, elleng. I might have been laying on the sarcasm a little thick.

[elleng]

40. Thought so. Wanted to connect.

[Armstead]

11. Albany, Rochester, Syracuse, Binghampton

maybe a few others in the last several days

[elleng]

18. THANKS, Armstead!

[B Calm]

23. Yes he had a huge crowd yesterday in Buffalo, but Hillary supporters

don't care because they're to busy throwing shit hoping something will stick.

[JonLeibowitz]

4. "The millennials in N. Williamsburg won't overwhelm the African-Americas"

Perhaps he wants to win the African Americans' votes as well?

Just a thought.

[brooklynite]

10. I'm sure he WANTS to win them; I haven't seen any sign he resonating with them

[JonLeibowitz]

25. That's fine, it is their right to choose.

My point was that the OP seems to be ascribing intentions to Sanders campaign, as if he knows he cannot win their votes by reaching out to their communities and is engaging in a ploy to outnumber AAs with young voters. There simply is no evidence for that.

[brooklynite]

42. I'm not ascribing any motives to the Sanders campaign...

...but one of Sanders' strongest pools of support (which his supporters love to point out) has been millennials. I'm saying that formula won't put him ahead of the game here.

[JonLeibowitz]

43. Sure you're not....

The millennials in N. Williamsburg won't overwhelm the African-Americas in Crown Hts, Bed-Sty and East NY, the Hasids in S. Williamsburg and Borough Park, The asians in Sunset Park, the Russians in Brighton Beach, the...

Or can I just read this as "I don't think Bernie will win". Because it certainly reads as I described earlier. I see right through what you are saying.

[Armstead]

6. With all your concerns about his campaign strategy, you should join his team

Help out the poor guy. He's had such an unsuccessful track record as a politician running for office.


(I fully realize that Clinton may win. But all the more reason for you to lend your expertise as a charitable endeavor.)

[IamMab]

17. Anyone can win elections in Vermont. Bernie is the proof.

There are more people in my single NJ county than his entire state. His record is not impressive like you think it is.

[Armstead]

24. Tell that to his opponents

I realize you're new, but you've got to do better than that

[Go Vols]

27. :/

[polly7]

9. Saw videos where they're eager to welcome him home.

I think it's very nice.

[IamMab]

12. Hasn't he now lived outside NY longer than he lived in it? nt

[B Calm]

26. How long has Hillary lived in NY?

[Lucinda]

30. About 16 years now. n/t

[IamMab]

31. 15 years. Is your Google broken or something?

Or did you think that pretending (?) to be willfully obtuse would be some kind of winning closing argument? Not working out like you planned, sorry to say.

[Lucinda]

33. Yep. I think he was 18 when he left NY. n/t

[IamMab]

39. That might have been leaving for college. I thought he left the city for VT in 68.

And if that's that case, then he's been out of NY for 48 years.

And since he's not 96, that means he's lived outside of NY for over half of his entire life.

[B Calm]

41. So he's lived in NY about twice as long as Hillary?

[JackRiddler]

13. You just keep making it about Clintonian ethnic branding instead of issues.

Smug and heading for a fall.

[brooklynite]

20. No, I'm looking at how ethnic groups respond to the issues...

...and if you don't think ethnic groups have political relevance in Brooklyn, you REALLY don't know the territory.

[JackRiddler]

28. Did I say that? Certainly not.

I just don't think ethnicities, or human beings for that matter, are movable pawns for your tawdry campaign strategizing. At least in your case it's more like fantasy football, but a machinery the size of Clinton's can do serious damage to communities and the society at large.

[Armstead]

34. Her balkinized marketing strategy has alrteady done damage to the entire electoral process

[geek tragedy]

19. Looks like he's on a hipster scavenger hunt

Long Island City appearance too.

[hrmjustin]

29. From what I see on the ground here in Brooklyn and Demographics Hillary should

win Brooklyn easily.

[Nanjeanne]

32. And rallies in Washington Heights, Long Island City, the Bronx. Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens

Coming up again.

Offices in Gowanus, Flatbush and Harlem.

Those dumb advisors. What do they know.

[NWCorona]

36. Brighton beach will post Bernie's worst numbers

I think everywhere else he'll do better than expected.

You are right about his attention to Brooklyn. That's his stomping grounds.

Where are you going to be on debate night?

[brooklynite]

44. At the debate.....

[NWCorona]

45. Sweet!

I'm so jealous!

[Csainvestor]

38. Huge melting pot in Brooklyn.

Bernie seems to be winning the Asian American and Muslim American community.

Bernie may very well win Brooklyn.

[itsrobert]

46. He'll be in the wrong Rome in a few days
