Bernie Sanders

[Crampknees]

Or what I would call a garbage pizza. Onions, peppers and I don't get along at all.

Various studies have shown if you smoke a joint before, onions and peppers are fine, and there is no such thing as a garbage pizza.

WTF is with all this veggie talk on Pizza?  Give me the triple play pepperoni with sausage and bacon!

Unless Comrade Bernie Sanders wins the DNC nomination the GOP is gonna fail again trying to win the presidency & they still might fail anyways.

If you want to know why the things that Bernie suggests are bad, look no further than Greece.  Check out this summary of the things they must change in order to get their next bailout.

Sanders really should run as a independent for president.

He can be like the leftwing version of Ross Perot.

I am wondering if this will happen.

[TobiasFunke]

11,000 came out to see him in Phoenix

He won't...he has made it clear he won't be Ralph Nader.

[Vegas Halo Fan]

So it's the nomination or nothing for Bernie. Could get interesting, if the polls are anywhere near correct.

[TobiasFunke]

Yesterday he got interrupted for the second time by the blacklivesmatter folks. What ****ing idiots.

It's August...Donald Trump is leading on the Republican side. Polls don't mean crap right now.

 

With that said, I'm going to see him in LA tomorrow, should be interesting.

Wish I was going. Let us know how it was.

[red321]

I'm interested to see what he has to say. I don't have an issue with Hillary, for the most part, and I will be happy to support her in the general election. At the same time I think Sanders is bringing up some important issues that a Democratic primary is supposed to address (because lord knows the Republican party is going to be based on who hates brown people the most, who loves jesus' little snowflakes the most, and who has the biggest little dick complex and wants to bomb Iran the most)...so at a minimum I hope he makes her sweat and work a little.

[Spirit]

I think it's good that Bern is giving Dems something else to consider.  Even though she has the biggest little dick complex on the Democrat side locked up.

[Vegas Halo Fan]

At least Bernie won't allow it to be a coronation. Hillary will have to work a bit.

[Spirit]

If Uncle Joe gets in it's going to be fun.

she's definitely got the "cool and hip" factor down.

So Bernie Sanders talked about Michael Brown and refered to his death as involving "institutional racism." Yet there is no evidence to support such a ridiculous, reckless statement, and all it does is fuel the race war (and for nothing but political gain).

And some of you think this guy should be our next president?

[Spirit]

I know Bern's been having a hard time lately from the Black Lives Matter crowd.  No better way to combat that than by pandering ... I guess.

Sanders allowed them to open the program tonight at the L.A. Sports Arena. The place was packed. A lot of young people.

 

28,000 earlier in Portland, and then the endorsement of the largest nurses union in the country.

 

His campaign is gathering steam.

Well, that 50 inch flat screen that they stole last year is a year old now. Time for another "tribute".

In his liberal mind that stuff is all true

He doesn't have a chance.

 

Clinton is definitely not worried about this guy.  Although in the short term he may pull her more to the left.

[red321]

Here was his statement...

 

“There is no president, none, one year after the death of Michael Brown, no president who will fight harder to end institutional racism that I will,” Sanders said. “(There is) no president who will push harder for fundamental changes in our criminal justice system.”

 

 

Hardly the the call for a race war you are making it to be wopphil...I would expect better from you.

 

It was an interesting night. The line to get in was, literally, over a mile long. It stretched from the sports arena, almost around the entire coliseum and then looped back on itself and down past the the plunge, and then back towards the coliseum once again. We didn't make it in the arena and there was probably a few thousand people at least with us in the front of the arena watching a live stream on big screens.

 

He's not the most dynamic speaker, very point by point and somewhat wonkish at times. Definitely a strong economic populist message focused on the poor and middle classes - ties it in various things like jobs, healthcare, education, judicial reform, etc. Some powerful lines about Wall St. As I expected, didn't spend a lot of time on defense related items.

 

The crowd, at least outside, was enthusiastic, though I get the idea that some of the people were like me, more just hearing what he had to say and checking things out.

 

Still wouldn't expect him to beat out Clinton, and to be honest I'm not sure his message outside of the corporate/Wall St. reform is much different than hers. Let's hope when they do get on stage together there is a much more substantive discussion than what we saw the other night in Cleveland.
