(40,247 posts)She will only end up alienating voters that Sanders needs. Why she has been given such a public position is a very questionable decision. During 2016, nearly every time I saw her on television the interview ended badly with either raised voices or at the very least cutting sarcasm.

Maru Kitteh
(28,348 posts)I think one of those four will likely be in the top three nearer the end of the pre-ballot primary season.
The only people I ever see saying we shouldn't be too focused on demographics are the same ones who are certain the the top "performing" candidates will be white males. Wouldn't ya know it? It's almost always white males saying these things. Funny how that works.

(81,900 posts)That includes Brown and Biden..

(35,454 posts)Even if he had a crisis of conscience, Devines employment history had relatively little effect on his professional standing, allowing him to eventually earn more than $10 million working for Sanders, to the chagrin of the Democratic Socialists supporters.

Old Townes income from the Sanders campaign has not been disclosed, but the industry standard for ad buy commissions is 15 percent. Based on that formula, the firm could have made $12 million.
Devine whose company has received more than $5 million to create ads for Sanders primary campaign told the Post that he had an additional source of income from the Sanders campaign: a percentage of the ad buys. Devine said he split a commission with Old Towne Media. The exact amount is unclear; the Post reported that he was splitting a single-digit-percentage commission with Old Towne.

I was thinking Bernie wouldnt run this time and would instead endorse Senator Warren.
Of course, JMHO. YMMV

(6,073 posts)"Earlier this week, Sanders made waves with his campaign manager pick. On Tuesday, the Daily Beast reported that Sanders had hired Faiz Shakir, the national political director of the American Civil Liberties Union, for the top post. Shakir is likely to be the first Muslim American to head a major presidential campaign.
The campaign has also retained Analilia Mejia, the state director of New Jersey Working Families, as its national political director, and Sarah Badawi, the government affairs director of the Progressive Change Campaign Committee, as its deputy political director."

(58,785 posts)At this point it's mainly interesting to me that no new, shiny, (and younger) populist leader has arisen and pushed him off the stage yet. I really guessed one would by now.
Turner's kind of fun to hear about. Sanders tried to make use of troublemakers like Turner and Gabbard before, after they soiled their nests elsewhere, but he refused to bring them into his inner group and poison his operation.
Will he be able to placate and control this CO-chair long enough to peel a few conservative or otherwise dissident black voters away from their bloc? Sanders is not exactly great at working with women anyway, and this one is ... what she is. I'm guessing that CO- already means trouble.
