Geraldo Rivera is shilling for Sanders

Old @BernieSanders made positive impression on #FoxNewsTownHall. He's ruffled & ancient, but feisty & strong in a fit old man way. He has strength w a motivated base-Has raised a ton of cash second only to @realDonaldTrump-Scared the hell out of @HillaryClinton & Won 23 primaries

As Millennial Elites fall for fresh new faces like @PeteButtigieg their crushes will cool w scrutiny & in the face of formidable fund-raising by @SenSanders Watch now as he accumulates more centrists Democrats & raises a ton of money.




He's doing this because Fox and Trump think Trump can beat Sanders.

1. Lmmfao..."millennial elites"

Ok Geraldo, whatever.

[BlueFlorida]

2. Republicans and Fox news want Bernie to win the primaries

He would be the easiest to beat for Trump.

[helpisontheway]

3. Exactly! Nt

[Skidmore]

4. k&r for truth

[justie18]

7. Exactly!

A Sanders nomination would mean 4 more years of Trump, for sure.

9. All Trump has to say is Sanders and I share the same econmic polices on tariffs and treaties.

As Michael Moore correctly observed as soon a Sanders entered the race Hilary was DOA. She was running against a person with negotiable party loyalty spewing the same economic message as Trump. Here is a person who has reservations about membership in the Democratic Party, with the same B.S. on tariffs, NAFTA and the TPP trade agreements as her opponent running against her. The crossfire became so bad that she had to rescind her support of the TPP.

The result is that China has taken over the field unopposed throughout Asia. China has launched its own version of the TPP with its trade agreement called the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership which includes 16 countries as compared to the TPP of 12 countries that would have covered 40% of the global economy and removed 18,000, (that is not a misprint) yes, 18,000 tariffs. Since our withdrawal giving China a clear field they haven't missed the lost opportunity and in addition to the latest agreement, China has signed trade agreements with Australia, South Korea and Singapore. My bottom line is no thanks, Bernie. His years of legislative history of naming two post offices and a vet bill stand in contrast to his proposed ridiculous utopia legislative proposals that have as much chance of seeing passage as a snowball in hell says it all for me.

43. Trump called President Jimmy Carter because Trump thinks China is surpassing the USA

worldwide. But the dumbass Trump can't see that he made China's rise possible.

[Scurrilous]

13. Yep.

[MrsCoffee]

20. They sure do.

Funny that.

[Thekaspervote]

28. Happy to see Dems are catching on to this truth

[highplainsdem]

44. Agree completely.

[Hortensis]

47. Exactly. This blatant praise and pan the "old" man is

typical Rivera incompetence. Most of Fox's highly experienced assassins do it much subtler and smoother, and slip a shiv directly to the Democrats in the process.

5. Mika the other half of Morning Joe seems to be in your words, "shilling" for Mayor Pete.

Whats up with that? Does that mean she is doing this because Fox and Trump think Trump can beat Pete?

[namahage]

18. Morning Joe is on Fox? Who knew? n/t

[MrsCoffee]

21. Lol!

[BlueFlorida]

32. ...

[Autumn]

40. I never said Morning Joe was on Fox. but nice try. nt

[George II]

6. Many of us knew this would happen, just not so soon.

[brooklynite]

8. Yawn...

I don't support Bernie, but neither do I support lazy conspiracy theories...

[stonecutter357]

26. lol

[pscot]

10. Bernie will pull away more Trump voters

than anyone else in the Dem field. I'm not a fan, but I do think he'd kick Trumps ass around the country. Add a black woman to the ticket like Harris or Abrams and he'd be unbeatable.

[artislife]

14. I think you may be right

The Trump voters are tired of business as usual,.2016 saw the rise of Sanders and Trump. They may have come to different candidates but the rejection of Jeb and Hillary was less personal and more about being not seen by either party.

The Trump voter was just more about taking their ball and going home from the Republican Party.

[octoberlib]

17. Bernie would make a great VP!

[LongtimeAZDem]

48. Sanders would make a terrible VP; he would be unable to support a Dem President, and would likely

publicly challenge one endlessly.

[David__77]

11. Yeah some Democrats wanted Trump as the Republican nominee.

Axioms like “so and so cant win” can be smashed to pieces.

[Skidmore]

23. Groovy.

So Sanders is going to try to run on the Republican ticket in the primaries too.

[George II]

24. Makes one wanna.....

[Tiggeroshii]

31. ?

[David__77]

35. I don't think so.

...

[betsuni]

37. They're both running against the Democratic Party.

[Hortensis]

39. This. We all know it. Btw, Steve Bannon says he's a "populist

nationalist." Sounds appropriate enough as far as it goes, which isn't enough, neonazi, white supremacist, religious nihilist, but he specifically rejects adding fascist.

All populists are driven by aggressive "anti-elite" resentment, though, elites being whoever their leader defines them as. Both Trump and Sanders define the Democratic Party as elite and demonize the party to their followers.

Above all, though, populist movements take their characters from the large numbers who combine social conservatism with economic progressivism. And that's why we saw both Sanders' and Trump's populists yelling "lock her up" and other constantly, definingly antagonistic behaviors. And why Sanders shouldn't ever be drawing more than token numbers of misfit populist PoC.

[m-lekktor]

36. Yes! the "pied piper theory". and how did that work out for *them*?

*snicker*

[David__77]

42. I definitely don't think it's premised on a great analysis.

...

[rownesheck]

12. Geraldo's

statements have as much substance as Al Capone's vault.

[artislife]

15. I have to say

I love these kinds of posts. It outs the readers.

[mcar]

25. It "outs" the readers?

What do you mean by this?

[artislife]

34. Just noticing the same group of names. nt

[NurseJackie]

16. "He's doing this because Fox and Trump think Trump can beat Sanders." -- I *know* so!

He's doing this because Fox and Trump think Trump can beat Sanders.

I know so! Of course Trump can easily beat BS. That's because BS is a Socialist and an easy target. I'll bet the GOP can find (or has already found) many things in his past (ie: his writings, his words, his interviews, his rants, his speeches) and other things that are prohibited here... which would be very harmful to him.

The GOP and Fox want Bernie for such obvious reasons. They're acting like BS is the equivalent of some dreaded patch of briars... but in reality, it's what they WANT.

33. The Medicare for All is a disaster

waiting to happen.

Even though it has no chance of ever passing, the fear of losing their current coverage is enough to cause a Trump landslide.

[Blue_Tires]

19. That should tell you that the fix is in...

[tonedevil]

22. Aren't there some Skinheads...

for Mr. Rivera to interview?

[muntrv]

27. Millenials elites?

[stillcool]

29. that's a new one for me..

maybe it's a Fox thing?

[Tiggeroshii]

30. Ugh...

No thanks

[ecstatic]

38. Such a turn off. Everything about it.

The Fox News aspect. The Geraldo aspect. The "ruffled & ancient" aspect. Again, who is donating all that money? People like Geraldo or the NRA or russians?

[Tipperary]

41. Lol, too funny.

[yardwork]

45. I can't stop laughing.

[Cha]

46. KR

[Kahuna7]

49. Of course. Geraldo is friends with trump. They want Bernie. nt
