C-SPAN callers love Bernie

[left-of-center2012]

There was a call-in show on C-SPAN this afternoon for a discussion of the Democratic candidates for President in 2016,
but most callers just wanted to talk about Bernie Sanders.

Many callers on the Democratic phone line said they had been Clinton supporters but, after listening to Bernie, they were switching their loyalty
to Sanders.

Many callers on the GOP phone line said they were switching party allegiance so the could vote for Bernie in the primaries.

Some callers complained that Hillary is now going around spouting Bernie’s policies, as if they were hers ~
as if to say: “I’m the female Bernie - vote for me!"

1. I haven't watched C-SPAN in years. That would be nice to hear though.

“I’m the female Bernie - vote for me!"

[cascadiance]

3. So now she's Bernadette Clinton?...

... so that she can "feel the Bern"?

[Autumn]

4. Oh I gotta remember that for the next time she tries to sound like Bernie

[Enthusiast]

5. Now that is funny!

7. I used to watch Washington Journal every morning on the internet.

But then they changed the policy and you had to be a cable subscriber to watch it...and I dropped cable years ago.

8. Yah, and now all the "out there" people haven taken over.......

one guy called in and said that POTUS gave Joe the pat on the back so Barak can be HIS Vice President.

13. Barak can be HIS Vice President.

think Michelle would say "Hell no!"
She wants out of Washington and away from the GOP.

2. K & R. I heard this too. CSPAN is repeating speeches. Go Bernie!

6. Hillary's spent years being a corporate friendly "moderate"

She kicked off this campaign by saying that she will work closely with the republican congress, which is less popular than colon cancer. People want something different, and she's not it.

12. Amen.....

[retrowire]

9. oh they messed up now!

they just HAD to give Bernie a mainstream platform! now he's gonna just take all the wind outta their game!

YESSSS!!!!

10. Bernie is just lovable. Who doesn't love him once they see him speak?

[tavernier]

11. Im curious about the right wing callers

Of my many repug friends, they have taken the facebook quiz and they have been named as Democrats according to their desired political outcomes. They don't want to admit it, but they do acknowledge that that they want equality and women's rights and that they believe in global warming.

Sadly, in this country we believe in sports teams, and they are slow to leave their team for another, but IT IS happening.

14. I hear her say almost the exact same words he does later on.

It bothers me.

[eridani]

16. Not me! The more people validating the Sanders issues, the better n/t

[left-of-center2012]

20. "I hear her say almost the exact same words he does later on."

Are you saying Bernie is parroting Hillary's ideas and comments?

[SoapBox]

15. Wow...I absolutely agree with this!

"Some callers complained that Hillary is now going around spouting Bernie’s policies, as if they were hers"

This EXACTLY what I've been thinking!

[Babel_17]

17. Huh, it's not equal to polling, but I just read ...

The comments section of the New York Times regarding Sanders (and O'Malley) was off the hook in support of him. And these posters genuinely sounded like regular readers, and real Democrats.

18. This is what scares them.

Many callers on the Democratic phone line said they had been Clinton supporters but, after listening to Bernie, they were switching their loyalty
to Sanders.

19. And hoping that as more and more find out about what the DNC and DWS

are up to, that they are going to be super ticked off, just like us.

And they will tell people and etc. etc. etc.

Keep talking Bernie!
