global1's JournalHave Any Of The News Organizations Assigned Reporters To Bernie?....
It seems like all the other candidates have a team of reporters following them - I don't think I've seen Bernie get the same treatment. Does anyone know?
Any Word On Bernie's Appearance In Chicago Today?....
I didn't catch our local news and I didn't see anything posted here on DU. I'm curious?
"Tear Down This Wall" Was What Reagan Said To Gorbachev - This Was The Berlin Wall Back In 1987....
Someone should ask Trump if Ronald Reagan were alive today - would he for putting up a wall between the U.S. & Mexico given the fact that one of his major claims to fame is tearing down the Berlin Wall?
Haven't we learned our lesson with walls? What happened to the United States being the 'melting pot' of the world? What does the Statue of Liberty stand for?
Doesn't that tablet she holds say: Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!
That's the America I would like to make great again.
I Keep Hearing That If Bernie Wins The Nomination He Won't Be Able To Defend Against The Money.....
that would be used against him by the Repugs and their billionaire donors.
Here's where I think the pundits are wrong.
Bernie is running a very clean, positive and truthful campaign that is resonating with The America People. If the Repugs start attacking Bernie - in a sense they would be attacking The American People - the very people that would have made Bernie the nominee. Once the negative attacks on Bernie would begin - the American People would further rally around Bernie in that case.
The American People are fed up with the old politics of negativity and attacks.
That is one of the reasons they are gravitating to Bernie and on the Repug side traditional Repugs are gravitating to Trump.
Trump admits that the system is broken. That he bought politicians to do what he wanted them to. He admits that he can't be bought because of his wealth. He's his own man.
In the end it will be his money that will do Trump in. Trump - no matter what he says - is still a member of that 1%, Bernie gets his support from The American People - the 99% and that will take Bernie to the WH.
All bets are off for 2016. That's why the pundits and the campaign people are befuddled in dealing with the likes of Bernie and Trump. It does not follow the old patterns of races past. New paths are being formed and because they've never encountered these before - they're almost afraid of every decision they make (the campaigns that is) because they don't know how it will play with The American People.
They can't just change directions in mid stream (flip flop) or have their candidate say things like "I misspoke". This just doesn't work any more. The American People have their number and won't tolerate those old tactics.
The candidate that looks good and resonates with The American People is the one that has remained true to his principles throughout his career. One that doesn't need to run things past a focus group. One that doesn't need to flip flop on issues.
And that candidate is Bernie.
What's the old saying - that if you lie and bend the truth that you begin to trip up on yourself because even you can't remember what is fact from fiction.
Well Bernie doesn't have that problem. He's been a straight shooter all his career and he doesn't spend time in the fiction world of campaign politics.
Right now some of The American People have gotten that message. Every day more and more of them are coming to the same conclusions. That's why Bernie's momentum is building.
Needless to say this is going to be a very interesting campaign and it's going to make an excellent book after the election.

Has Anyone Been Receiving Their Bernie Sanders T-Shirts Yet From The Bernie Store?....
My order for 2 went in on July 6th and I still haven't received them yet. I did get an e-mail 3 weeks ago saying that they'd be delivered within 14 days. Still no t-shirts. I just want to know if others have been getting them - cause maybe my t-shirts are lost in the mail somewhere. Help!!!!
I Know 24 Million People Watched The Repug Debate But How Many Were In The Actual Venue Live?.....
I don't think I have seen this number publicized anywhere. Does anyone know?
If Joe Biden Throws His Hat In The Race Is It An Admission By The Establishment Dems That Hillary...
is in real trouble and they are just hedging their bets?
I Kinda Wonder How The Main Stream Media Will Treat The Bernie Surge Ahead In NH Later Today.....
I said 'main stream media' - but we all know it is now the 'right stream media'.
Really - what will they be saying? That this is a fluke? That this is only one poll?
How will they explain it?
They've been blacking Bernie out of the news and trying to discredit and silence him any way they could and now - he pulls ahead in NH. How'd he do that? We're not helping him - there must be something wrong with that poll.
It's going to be interesting watching the cable news shows on Wednesday.
Or will they completely ignore this poll and info and just talk about Trump's press conference and speech?
Bernie Has Been Talking Up Education From Day One...
he includes free tuition in his plan and is doing something in Congress as we speak to make things happen.
What is galling me is that he is not getting much airtime or kudos for that - and Hillary today comes out with an education plan that in my opinion is just appealing to focus group polling and the cable news stations are touting it and hailing her plan like she has just invented the wheel.
The focus groups tell her people that Bernie's message on education is resonating with the voting public - so Hillary has to follow and make news here. That's what it looks like to me that is going on here.
I guess in some respect - I'm happy that Bernie drove her to do this now - but I'm pissed that Bernie isn't getting any accolades for his plan.
Have Any Of The Cable News Channels This Morning Talked About Bernie's Crowds In Seattle & Portland?
Again - this is big news and I'm just wondering what was said on the cable news shows about this?
