Anybody else just now see Republican on MSNBC promoting Bernie while bashing Democrats

Exact comment was something along the lines of Bernie’s authentic rest of the Democrats aren’t

[LexVegas]

1. "Bernie's authentic"

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

26. Bernie IS authentic...splains why he's among the most popular candidates...

if not THE most popular, in the hearts of the American people.


Bernie & Elizabeth 2020!!!
THINK BIG!!!

[Hortensis]

38. InA, Sanders is being promoted by Republicans AND Russians

in order to:

Elect. Traitorous. Republicans. And. Defeat. The. Democrats. Who. Are. An. Existential. Threat. To. Putin's. Plans. to Destroy. The. U.S. And Recreate. The Soviet. Union.

Deja 2016 vu all over again. This is not a beginning, you guys. They never stopped.

This is Sanders assisted in building a fake foreign policy resume by far-right Republican Mike Lee. Neither are on any foreign affairs committees for either party, but making policy was not their goal.



Remember, Sanders has announced that he will step up his 2016 efforts to draw Trump's conservative populist trumpsters to join you in electing him. You need to be prepared for what he will again have to do to draw and keep these conservatives. Deja 2016 vu all over again. Maybe on steroids?

I hear he's now claiming to be the true centrist leader. Sounds like you're going to be centrist now, along with your fellow travelers from the right.

40. He wants to stop the war in Yemen

And his position on Saudi Arabia makes sense rather than the last several Presidents. His foreign policy is fine by me but I prefer Gabbard's. She would make an ideal Secretary of State one focused on peace.

39. .....

Trump the Authentic

https://www.the-american-interest.com/2018/01/14/trump-the-authentic/

Study finds Trump voters believe Trump is authentic, even if he appears to lie

[Pachamama]

2. Yep....caught that immediately....

I loved the answer of the other guy on - something to the effect that if democrats think targeting Trump supporters are going to leave Trump that is a losing battle....

[Wellstone ruled]

6. Talk about Tur getting rolled

on that one. This will be one of the Rethugs talking points as well as AOC. The GOP is just copying their 2016 and 2018 strategy .

[disillusioned73]

16. What is that??

What exactly are you implying about AOC???

[Wellstone ruled]

17. Trying to paint AOC

as someone whom she is not. The Rethugs in New York are counting on this strategy as their method of regaining their lost House Seats back.

[disillusioned73]

21. Oh, i see..

thanks for clarifying..

[forklift]

3. Bernie has a lot of cross-party following

How much of that is hard and how much soft I don't know.

I think in the end the Republicans will only use Bernie.

Bernie needs to focus on his great economic message and provide detailed policy proposals. That is where his appeal is.

He should also get ahead of distracting issues - release his tax returns and accept responsibility for his prior campaign's treatment of female staffers. That way, he can have a razor-sharp focus on his economic message.

[Trenzalore]

13. Absent an economic crash

The republicans will by and large stick by Trump. He is at close to 90% approval with republican.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

27. I think you said it quite well.

Bernie & Elizabeth 2020!!!
THINK BIG!!!

[TCJ70]

4. The Republicans know they're going to have to inject as much fear, uncertainty, and doubt...

...into this election in order to win. So why put any concern towards what they say in regards to our candidates? It's all garbage from that side anyway.

[Eliot Rosewater]

20. Uh huh, SURE, ignore it ...again? Wow...

Saying ignore it HELPS the GOP and putin.

Saying nothing to see here HELPS gop and putin.

[comradebillyboy]

5. I recall Cornell West telling me how authentic 'Brother Trump' was...

'Authenticity' is a highly over-rated virtue.

[Pachamama]

8. Was that Cornell West on Katy Tur? But I will disagree with you on Authenticity being overrated.

Being Authentic can be a virtue....what is not authentic and is over-rated is when people falsely claim those things about others as virtues.....

Not sure who the guest was who fired back at the Republican Strategist claiming Bernie Sanders' "Authenticity"....but I laughed at loud hearing a Repuke claiming that about Bernie....

[comradebillyboy]

10. West made the comment in 2016 suggeating Trump

would be better than Clinton. I forget the venue.

[PunkinPi]

11. No, it was Cornell Belcher, a dem pollster. nt

[still_one]

14. However, Cornell West openingly and enthusiastically endorsed Jill Stein over the Democratic

nominee, and for that, along with others who are part of the Our Revolution Group, I will not support Bernie Sanders in the primary

and when the Susan Sarandon and Nina Turner, who is now one of the campaign chairs for Sanders, start making their constant appearances on the Chris Hayes show or the like, those memories of what they did during the General Election will be brought back, and I suspect the Biden, Obama, and Hillary supporters will be looking for their nominee in the other Democratic contenders outside of
the Sanders campaign in the primaries

[PunkinPi]

15. Agreed. I was just clarifying which Cornell was on with Katy Tur. ;) nt

[still_one]

19. I know , and I appreciate that. It is so important that we don't misrepresent the facts, and thank-

you for keeping everybody on track

[comradebillyboy]

31. Brother Bernie and Brother Trump are authentic human beings in stark contrast...

[Blue_true]

34. Cornell West is a damned fool.

I have watched him discuss topics a couple times. He comes off, to me, as close to batshit crazy, intellectually hopping around so much that it is difficult to see any point that he attempted to make.

[PunkinPi]

36. Yes, I know, pls see post #15. nt

[Cha]

22. Ol Cornel has a low bar for "authenticity"..

he's not too bright.. hawked jill stein's Lies for potus.

[Blue_true]

35. I believe that his isn't driving with a full load. nt

[still_one]

7. Very similar to what Haley Barbour was saying on Bloomberg this morning. They obviously got there

marching orders to stay on that message.

They realize the odds favor them very much in red states if they are up against Sanders

[aidbo]

32. The odds favor them in red states whether Sanders is the nominee or not..

..that’s why they call them red states.

[Gothmog]

9. The GOP and Russians helped sander a great deal in 2016

Why stop now

[R B Garr]

12. Interesting, they do have their talking points. Poor Bernie is a big one. nt

[Cha]

24. lol Yeah, like trump's fascist doormats know

fuck all about "authenticity".

[Yosemito]

18. They did it in 2016 too

They hate Biden and Kamala.

[Cha]

23. LOL.. WTF do fascist fucks know about

"authentic"? Rofl.

[Jose Garcia]

25. He's the candidate Republicans wwwould love to run againt

[Thekaspervote]

28. It's pretty simple, the gopeee want bernie run. See him as a weak opponent

[Eliot Rosewater]

29. Yeah, I dont think that is the reason. I think they want to harm the other Dems and

will use him.

They may think it is a win win , that if he is a weak candidate and he wins the nom they win and if he doesnt win the nom they can use him to harm the others.

[Cha]

33. Yeah, they're not too obvious

about it or anything.

[Tom Rinaldo]

37. Oh, that must be why Republicans are comparing Bernie to Hitler

https://www.democraticunderground.com/10142275269

It is crazy to globalize what any one Republican spokesperson or local entity says into a unified theory.
