This isn't a video, just a screen shot. I'm trying to find the video, but if anyone else has it, I'd love to see it!

[valerief]

1. And not spending all their time talking about Trump? Have their Trump-24/7 directives been changed?

[in_cog_ni_to]

2. It was only a matter of time! They just needed to meet him, hear him, see him...

Because to know, know, know him is to love, love, love him and they do, yes they do!

GO BERNIE!

PEACE
LOVE
BERNIE

[passiveporcupine]

26. Perfect

[2pooped2pop]

3. this can't be true

I believe we have all been told on this site that "it's not enough, Bernie" no matter what he does, that poc will never vote for him? And that, btw, was coming from those who DO speak for poc, at least according to them.

[SandersDem]

4. I saw this.

I think it was on Chris Hayes day before yesterday. It was one of the BEST reports on Bernie yet. I will try to find the link

[SandersDem]

5. Here it is! Enjoy

[peacebird]

20. Thank you!

[wendylaroux]

6. It was only a matter of time,

as people learn more about Bernie,and listen to his message,they are on board.

I mean,you'd have to be an idiot not to back Bernie.[Or an uncaring rich person.]-----Or an uncaring rich person.

G O B E R N I E!!!!!!!!!

[AlbertCat]

22. Or an uncaring rich person.

I think you could also be an uncaring poor person


And/or someone with a big chip on their shoulder.

[Utopian Leftist]

32. An uncaring poor person

is an idiot.

[Gmak]

7. The winds they are a-shifting.

I was pleasantly surprised on watching the video of Bernie and Jane on the Mornin Joe show, at how deferentially and warmly they were treated. Could it be because Bernie has announced he has campaign money to spend on advertising?

[LiberalElite]

43. !!!! nt

[Chakab]

8. I've said from day one of this primary that nobody who was politically cognizant at the time has

forgotten who the Clintons ran that campaign in '08 when it was clear that they were losing. The only reason that Clinton's number with black voters are so high is due to name recognition.

If it hadn't been for that foolishness in the wake of those protesters disrupting his speech and the DNC's concerted effort to hide the debates, his numbers with black primary voters would be much higher.

9. HUGE K & R !!! - THANK YOU !!!

[Phlem]

10. K&R!!!!

[Duckfan]

11. Thank you Killer Mike, Nina Turrner and BLM

[SoapBox]

12. You betcha!

The Storm is rolling.

[Still In Wisconsin]

13. There just isn't much to like about Hillary-

She's a pandering, opportunistic, triangulating third-way shape shifter and a puppet of the big banks and insurance companies. She may have been otherwise in her younger years but that's all she is now.

[RoccoR5955]

23. But, she is going to be the first

Quee... I mean female president. The DLC is making sure of that, and we have to follow behind for the Queen's ordination. I mean the election and inauguration. Sorry about that, some things just slip out.

[Still In Wisconsin]

28. The DLC is little more than Hillary's Coronation Committee

That has become clear.

Sign me up for the Elizabeth Warren for President committee. There's your first female President...because if we nominate Hillary, she will run the same stupid campaign of pandering and triangulation and get trounced by Marco Rubio.

[azmom]

29. Agree 100%

[roguevalley]

14. Bernie will win. I feel it in my bones. I remember the dispair I felt until he said he would

run. He's once in a generation. He's going turn this shit around. GO, BERNIE! Thank you, all of the surrogates who speak for him in all the communities. He believes in you too

I hear that Nevada isn't going too well for Hillary.

[blondie58]

37. Yes

This generations FDR!

But- I thought that Nevada was Hillary's stronghold.

[blondie58]

38. Yes

This generations FDR!

But- I thought that Nevada was Hillary's stronghold.

[roguevalley]

42. so did she apparently but Bernie is very strong there and surprises everyone

[Ed Suspicious]

15. It can't be because: :nationwide poll: :insider endorsements: :something else:

[RoccoR5955]

24. SCIENTIFIC polls

You MUST remember that they are SCIENTIFIC!
(I can see a pollster with a beaker and a slide rule now!)

[samsingh]

16. is this the trump definition of a drove?

[Enthusiast]

17. Kicked and recommended to the Max!

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

18. If so, will white DUers take back all the racist insults hurled at blacks who supported Hillary?

Note: I can't stand the Clintons!

[Robbins]

19. many bernie supporters didn't use racist slurs at blacks who supported clinton

meanwhile we have been called racist for supporting bernie over clinton.

[cui bono]

31. Will black DUers take back the insults they hurled at blacks who support Bernie?

And the insults they hurled at Bernie and his crowds?

And will white DUers do that too?

.

[artislife]

34. First, good to see you

YES, the needs to be a pull back and recognition that some of the Bernie supporters have used racial insults and misogynistic insults. The fact that the other side also has done it doesn't relieve the need to take responsibility of our actions.

It does remind me of how h during the Super Tuesday 2008, started to throw any stone in the bag at Obama trying to win. We Bernie supporters have done that as well. It is pretty vile. Both examples show how just under the surface "distaste for otherness" lies in all of us.

As a Latina,who passes for White, I see a lot of nice people say shit when they feel they are on the losing end of some argument. It is easy to pluck terms that are anti-majority and hurl it without even realizing it. They don't think they have an issue because they are mostly on board with the whole content of character v color of skin (or religion or sexual identity etc).

I have to look at my own prejudices as well.

I think we need Bernie now, not just for people but for this planet. We don't have time for incremental change.

[Snotcicles]

21. Bernie Sanders is going to win the whole enchilada. eom

[MissDeeds]

25. W00T!!!!

I knew once they heard him and came to know him, Black voters would support Bernie.

[Bohunk68]

27. Earlier this afternoon, I was attending a meeting of

the advisory committee for the county OFA. The lady next to me turned to me, after I made a pro- Bernie comment and confided that she had changed her registration from Indy to Democrat, just so she could vote for Bernie in the Dem Primary. She confided how tough it was being Liberal and working for gummint and having to say nothing in a Redneck area. I shared with her that I was gay and surely knew that. We laughed.

30. #unidosConBernie

[Rosa Luxemburg]

33. It's true

[NorthCarolina]

35. It's clearly evident now WHY so few Democratic debates AND a media Bernie Black Out.

eom

[nyabingi]

36. Very true, very true (nt)

[Fast Walker 52]

41. it's a race against time at this point

[lark]

39. I live in No. FL.

I work in an urban setting and our workplace is probably 55/45 black to white and 90% female. I can tell you that my AA friends are almost unanimously pro-Hillary. I've gotten my best friend to warm up to Bernie, but quite a few of the others really love Hillary and remember Bill quite fondly. Glad to hear that Bernie is attracting more minorities, but think he still has a long way to go, at least in the South.

[Babel_17]

40. There's power in numbers

This will generate some important, and fascinating, discussion.
