Sanders to deliver live response to Trump campaign launch

[Uncle Joe]

White House hopeful Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) will live stream a response to President Trump’s official reelection campaign kickoff Tuesday night as he seeks to bolster his standing as a top-tier democratic contender.

Sanders has consistently performed near the top of several national and statewide primary polls, but often finds himself behind former Vice President Joe Biden and is facing a spirited challenge from Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) for the progressive mantle in the 2020 cycle.

“Recent polling has shown Sen. Sanders solidifying his standing as the candidate in the strongest position to defeat Donald Trump in the general election. Sanders has now led Trump in 25 out of 26 polls since March and data throughout these polls show Sanders with the strongest polling numbers against Trump in key demographics that could swing the national election,” the Sanders campaign said in a press release announcing the Tuesday night response.

Sanders Campaign Manager Faiz Shakir pointed to a slate of public polls since March that he says shows “Sanders with the strongest base of support among voters who say they have committed to one candidate.”

1. Fine for Sanders to do that, but I think we would all get more milage if we all ignored it

completely, even the media should ignore it, at least to give it a minimum of news, something like:

The buffoon was in Orlando today to celebrate the start of his campaign for reelection, 200 people attended, 30 paid actors sat on row one.

Nothing would hurt the creature more than to be ignored. Not sure why Sanders feels he needs to answer to a campaign rally, I thought that was usually reserved for after SOU speeches, or debates, not to a rally that means nothing to the country or the World.

2. I believe the chances of your premise

that the media will ignore Trump's campaign launch to be nil.

That being the case combined with Trump being the worst pRresident in modern if not all of American history I believe an opposing point of view at his opening bid for a second term to be most apropos.

3. When you want to say you are number one at something but you really aren't...

“Sanders with the strongest base of support among voters who say they have committed to one candidate.” Faiz Shakir

It takes a mouthful.
