I still have the tab open. But I was afraid of what would happen and didn't want to bring my high on life feeling down.

Good luck!

K&R!.

Another was his honesty, and that he can't be bought.

It might help with my more conservative friends and former classmates on Facebook

That is definitely very encouraging.

If we could get everyone to read 'Dog Whistle Politics',

or watch the author being interviewed by Bill Moyers or

Amy Goodman, everyone except the elites would vote for Bernie.

is also worth seeing:

I have watched it twice.

I watch all the Bernie interviews and campaign

speeches on You Tube.

He never wavers.

I have went all the way back to 1989.

The man is consistent and honest to a fault.

He represents people, not corporations.

I find him to be sincere.

I base this assumption on his track record.

I admire and respect him.

since FDR.

It is truly outstanding. I mean, agree with the guy or not, you've got to admit he knows his stuff.

I also like how he isn't shooting out 'gotcha' zingers at the other candidates, but says, 'My position is....as to the other candidate she can tell you what her position is and then you can make your own decision.'

Bernie will do pretty well in (as in OWN) debates with candidates in the primary, and when it comes to the debates with the Republican opponents, he'll leave them in the dust.

I think Bernie can win, and of course am supporting him. We haven't had a guy like this running in decades. As someone in Salon or some such wrote, Bernie is who we hoped Obama would be when we elected him in 08.

actually moderate/liberal Republicans, not the crazy teabaggers that has taken over the Party.

Bernie has been consistent and honest for the last 40 years of public service. Everything he has said has been very consistent. He fights for the disappearing middle class, and fights for the rights of everyone except corporations.

But he'll definitely pick up a good number of the remaining few moderate republicans, some Libertarians, and a lot of Independants.

who will NEVER EVER vote for Hillary, not in a million years.

That's one reason why I think Bernie is the smarter choice, apart from policy positions. Every time we peel off voters from the other side, that's like doubling our vote advantage. Bernie's appeal is simply broader.

One would definitely be (R), two I'm not sure and the fourth is (I).

The common comment from all of them...they cannot stand HRC and have said they would NEVER vote for her.

Poll well across the political spectrum, so this isn't all that surprising.

Bernie does indeed have the interests of us 99% at heart.

and health care already seems to be going away as a dividing problem due to the ACA, the conservatives and the liberals have most of the same problems in common. Everyone but a few are losing buying power, both the left and the right dislike the NSA's domestic spying, etc. Both Republicans and Democrats are realizing that their candidates are not fixing a thing. They give speeches and talk the talk but none of them are walking the walk.

Everyone from conservatives to liberals are looking for change in the system. Bernie running for President in the General election could even get quite a few independents and third party candidates elected. Now wouldn't that get the two major parties to start paying attention!

Republicans..they came out for him..not a shabby percent, either.

with Bernie.

I agree with Bernie, and he sure will have my vote in my state's caucus and in the general election.

It is more on the economic/social issues where he splits. Otherwise, he's not far from the Paul/Libertartian group. Assuming that Paul does not get the Republican nomination, there are a chunk of Republicans who, if Sanders gets that far, would have to choose between the candidate they prefer in foreign policy and civil liberties vs. the one they prefer on economic/social issues... and I would expect Sanders to get a good chunk of those. Especially since less affluent Republicans are probably not fans of Wall Street either. Nor are all Republicans stauchly pro-choice, for example. He could create an interesting coalition,

than Bernie Sanders...

"You know I like that Bernie Sanders guy. I like everything that he says..... because unlike everybody else... he's for the common man."

And that, my friends, is why President Sanders is quite possibly going to become a reality.

There truly is no other candidate that one could say that about, imo.

he will pick up the green vote too

I suspect there are more for Sanders at this point, given her steadfast criticism of them and Republican policies/platform.

I expect 90-95% drop after Clinton gets the nomination.

Bernie's retention number would be about 70-75% of the Republicans who aren't insane and generally lean liberal/moderate.

"It is a real thing."

I talk to Republicans, they just want an easy target.

They were responding to his honesty and integrity. There was no strategic guile in their statements. These were plain folks who respected his high standards.

Hillary running. Yes if they were honest the would say they want a candidate they can beat.

I invite each viewer to listen to each comment on the video and decide whether these people are ordinary Americans or wily strategists. Maybe I am naive, but I think most every day people just say what they mean.

They love to hate Clinton. It motivates them like no other. Hillary as our nominee will bring out more republicans to vote against her than any republican can bring out in their support.

become their battle song.

republican.

Bernie is campaigning against the same big money in politics. If he can overcome HIllary's big money, he can do the same with the goppers.

I haven't sucked up enough, I will .

I don't think so but it is really strange that for as left as he is that republicans will vote for him. Isn't that what the idea of going centrist was supposed to? Funny that as much as Hillary and others have tried to go all centrist to gain middle support Bernie gets it without trying. Amazing. Hey third way ....Feel the Bern!

Of course it's going to be spun by the Clinton supporters as a Rush Limbaugh type ruse to keep Hillary from getting the nomination. No Republican could ever change their mind and vote for a Democrat. Yet these same people claim there is no way Sanders is going to win the primary.

So how many "infiltrators" would it take in states that have open primaries (assuming people don't change their registration) to change the outcome?

The answer, a lot more than people think. This is just another conspiracy theory put forward by people who can't use their brains.


By the way one of my friends who is Libertarian has stated he supports Sanders and thinks that all the Republican candidates are a joke.

I think if you watch the video and see the simpler explanation that ordinary people who know Bernie, even Republicans, admire his unparallelled ethics and candor. They know he won't sell them out for big bucks. He doesn't even have a Super Pac. I don't think a surreptitious strategic guile is a credible motivation, in view of the demeanor of these people, who appear sincere.

If there are they are confused about what Bernie stands for.

It's a laughably hypocritical message, but it might actually be getting them some votes we could use.
