Bernie Sanders' post on facebook regarding tonight's Republican debates:

Bernie Sanders
43 mins ·

The Republican debates are over. Not one word about income and wealth inequality, climate change, Citizens United or student debt. That's why the Republicans are so out of touch with the American people. What I heard was more tax breaks for the rich, more people losing health insurance and more talk about war. This is not what we need.

Luis Ruuska: Donald Trump is really proud that although some the companies he ran went bankrupt, he never lost his personal wealth. I love that. Just the kind of person we need in the White House!

The thing about Bernie is that he makes perfect sense and says things in plain language with no pretense or reading between the lines...pure truth.

The best way to put it (and this may be an outdated saying): keeping it real 😊

As his message gets out, more and more Americans will embrace it and begin working at the grass roots level for him and more importantly for his ideas.

Bernie is awesome. Why do you think Wasserman-Schultz hasn't yet scheduled our debates?

Hint...BERNIE will STEAL THE SHOW!
