The first I've heard on MSM to make the point that Bernie is running a different sort of campaign and explain it.

(24,745 posts)has come out on her show and said ( paraphrase) on Maddows show, that we the citizens of this country need to have the debates between the candidates now. Sanders says basically, why not have them now, let me for instance debate any republican now----------why wait.
So, he wrote a letter to Wasserman-Shultz to say lets have these debates now-lets find out which candidate has the issues that this country is looking for.
Instead of having the dog and pony show for the media and the rich and wealthy, with democrats debating democrats and republicans debating republicans, and then when all is said and done then have the coronation of the two parties with only the two debating each other.
My answer is YES-----------lets talk the issues and Sanders is going to clean every republicans clocks
My vote is for Senator Sanders-lets have the debates now

(13,877 posts)This is going to be good. They don't know what to do with him...someone who actually has a record, speaks plainly, doesn't have coifed (both male and female) hair, and has a record as long as his arm to prove it.
I'm thinking about which organization could pull this off. It used to be the League of Women Voters, but they gave up in disgust. Would have to be bi-partisan, national in scope, political in nature, with a damned brave Board of Directors. Because we already know how this is going to end...and for once, it will end well for our side.
Bernie's going after the 60% who have given up and don't vote. That's why we're seeing the big response. Pretty sure it's not the dyed in the wool Ds and Rs.
On Edit: What if he and Rand Paul agreed to debate...both are outside their party's mainstream. That would be a good start????
