Bernie's doing good on the Sunday talk shows

[Armstead]

He's on message and responding directly and honestly to the conventional wisdom crap being tossed at him by the interviewers. Like the long distance runner he was, he looks like he has a second wind.

Pushing the issues and hammering the media (justifiably) for focusing on strategy rather than issues.

Will he actively throw his support to Clinton? It depends on her. If Clinton is the nominee it will up to her to convince his supporters -- and all Americans -- that she stands for the popular and important issues Sanders has been championing. She will have to earn their votes. It's not up to him to do that.

What about VP? "Jake I think it's time to recognize we have a planetary crisis...."

That's Bernie. hammering on the issues that matter, and not getting deflected by the sideshows.

1. Noted- issues that don't matter: how to actually get elected.

[Armstead]

2. That is so shallow it does not merit a response

[Kip Humphrey]

7. Typical Hillary supporter: Global warming? Don't matter. Money in politics? Don't matter.

TPP/TPIP/TISA? Don't matter.
Free college tuition and college loan relief? Don't matter.
Universal healthcare? Don't matter.
Corrupt political system? Don't matter.
Massive voter suppression? Don't matter.
Electronic vote flipping? Don't matter.
Wars in Syria, Iran,...? Don't matter.
Eliminating fracking? Don't matter.
Moving away from fossil fuels? Don't matter.
Eliminating the private, for profit prison industrial complex? Don't matter.
Criminal Justice reform? Don't matter.
Demilitarizing local police? Don't matter.
Restoring Glass-Stegal? Don't matter.
Breaking up the too-big-to-fail banks? Don't matter.
Taking millions from Wall Street, multi-national corporations, and foreign governments? Don't matter.
Nominating the most electable Democratic candidate in the GE with the highest approvals, lowest negatives, and highest draw among Independents? Don't matter.
edited to add (things I forgot):
Removing marijuana from the federal list of class 1 drugs? Don't matter.
Ending the War on Drugs and begin treating drug addiction as a health concern? Don't matter.


What seems to matter to Hillarians?
Getting my piece of the pie.
Fear.
Getting a woman (i.e., Hillary) elected president.
Conservative principles, policies, and practices (undisclosed yet apparent).

16. Stephanopoulos Appearance Removed All Doubt

He's in it to win it. His appearance with Chuck Todd was recorded the previous day after his visit to the third-world conditions of Baltimore.

3. Maybe, just maybe, you need to watch and learn.

[salinsky]

4. I saw him on MTP ...

... he looked bitter and disillusioned.

He knows the curtain is coming down.

[Armstead]

5. I didn't see him on that one...But I suspect you are seeing what you want to see

You want to see bitter, you'll see bitter

[CentralCoaster]

15. I was leaning more toward a mirror dynamic.

Ya know, you see in Bernie how you're feeling.

I feel sober and mindful and centered and determined.

[DrDan]

6. my reaction exactly - he did look bitter

[FlatBaroque]

9. EAT YOUR BROCKWURST!

[FlatBaroque]

8. It is often humorous watching a person who understands the nature of reality

have conversations with people who have lobotomized into regurgitating the inside the bubble pablum. Bernie has amazing patience with Jake Flapper's and the Anderson Pooper's of the world.

10. He is amazing!

[uponit7771]

11. Bernie blamed poor people for not voting for him, that's not good... he has little character

[Armstead]

12. Character?

This gets more ridiculous by the minute

[nadinbrzezinski]

13. And he did not, this guy is putting words and all that

this has been explained to him. POOR PEOPLE DO VOTE FAR LESS than the national average,

It is a faux outrage meant to bait and ensnare, and a Right Wing "debate" tactic.

[Vattel]

14. typical

[Uncle Joe]

17. Bernie did great.

Thanks for the thread, Armstead.
