We'll be seeing more of that shit, I'm afraid. Up to us to get the interviews and speeches spread around on YouTube and social media. They can't stop that.

And it was obvious that Seth Myers had done his homework, asked the right questions to clarify Bernie Sanders' positions, especially those that have been misunderstood.

I think they stuck that in there since it's supposed to be a comedy show and to show that he can laugh at himself. But he was good humored throughout the interview, started off with Seth making fun of his hair. He explained his positions that some may have found troubling, mainly what a Democratic Socialist actually means, and Seth was well informed and asked all the right questions. It could have gone longer, but I think he got in the most important stuff...

When Bernie is done talking people are disappointed that he is done talking. I was at the rally in Minneapolis and the crowd reaction when he was done was like "Oh man, he's done come on more speech."

when he made his first speech. I had MSNBC on...they were late to the speeches and then cut coverage off to go on to the next show.

Crappy coverage.

waiting for the video to go up. This is a superb venue for Bernie, Seth was fantastic, made fun of the Old Media talking points and basically wiped them out with humor. Bernie played along beautifully, laughing and serious at the same time.
