Bernie on Clinton: "She Creamed Us!" in the Deep South - Face the Nation

[tomm2thumbs]

Honesty and energy on Bernie's side.
Great interview on Face the Nation... worth a watch.

[Chemisse]

1. I sure do love his honesty. n/t

[CentralMass]

2. I look forward to voting for him on May 17th.

[INdemo]

9. Bernie Sanders will win Indiana

The Sanders organization here is fantastic .. IN Primary is Tues..May 3rd

[CentralMass]

31. +1

I belive that he will comfortably win Oregon on May 17th.

[tomm2thumbs]

3. Probably the most honest figure in politics in our lifetime

and even when the truth isn't flattering, he tells it like it is

LOVE THAT!

[peacebird]

4. Bernie was awesome in that interview. Honest & refused to back down. Love it!

[Doctor_J]

5. Those states usually vote against their interests

Not a big surprise. I hope he can hang on until the end just in case Mrs. Clinton's problems with the law get worse.

[scscholar]

6. He can still win even without a majority of the votes!

There's still hope. It happened to Hillary in 2008.

[yallerdawg]

7. I really appreciate him dismissing milions of Democratic votes.

In the "Deep South."

Actually - I think he just made me mad.

[snowy owl]

10. So the deep south should determine our candidate?

We are called the left coast. Should I be mad?

[yallerdawg]

11. All Democratic voters determine our candidate.

Including the "Deep South."

I've voted in many a primary where the election had already been determined.

Now it's your turn.

[litlbilly]

18. well they should have voted for him then.

[Skittles]

22. hoo boy and howdy, do I hear you

yes INDEED

[debunction.junction]

12. Huh? I had to go back and watch the video again, you should do the same.

How in the world do you construe Bernie's statement that none of the "Deep South" states are going to vote Democratic in November as dismissing millions of Democrats?

Do you know something the rest of us don't? What states in the "Deep South" are the Democrats going to win? Please enlighten us.

[yallerdawg]

14. You watch it again!

When asked about her 2 million vote lead...

Bernie dismissed that lead.

So your saying as a Democrat I shouldn't even bother voting because I live in a Red State? I should just let the bicoastal elites pick the candidate, and settle in for a Trump presidency?

You just made me madder!

[debunction.junction]

17. Of course Bernie dismissed that lead. Any candidate that's still in the race would.

Otherwise, why would he continue running? As Yogi said, "It ain't over till it's over."

Take a chill pill. I never said anything of the sort. I am sorry that you live in a Red State. Nothing would make me happier than if your Red State went Blue. Do you see that happening anytime soon?

No, you should not "just let the bicoastal elites pick the candidate," nor should the rest of us be expected to let the "Deep South" pick our candidate.

Maybe you just like being mad.

[SammyWinstonJack]

24. +1000000. From Red State Tennessee and a Bernie supporter.

[Silver_Witch]

29. Wow...

maybe you should listen again. He didn't say a word implying the south was wrong. He said he got creamed in the South - that is all he said.

Get over it...

[Scootaloo]

30. NOT GOOD ENOUGH, BERNIE!

Give it a fucking break.

[femmedem]

33. He didn't dismiss anyone in the "Deep South."

He acknowledged that he got creamed there and said that that the upcoming primaries are more favorable to him. He didn't say one area was better or worse, or that the voters in any area are better or worse. He just said that the early primaries are weighted toward the south, but other areas still need to weigh in, including the west coast.

I'm having a tough time understanding why you are taking offense--especially since I live in a state that hasn't held its primary yet, and I would like my vote to carry as much weight as votes from the early states.

[INdemo]

35. How does or is he dismissing millions of Democratic votes.

He just said Democrats will not carry Southern states in the General.....and yes people in the Southern States will vote against their own interest
Also take a look at the voter turn out in the South for Democrats compared to Republicans

[snowy owl]

8. He is just so SMART! Could clinton put together answers like his?

This country needs him so badly. But we'll probably go with the status quo.

[debunction.junction]

13. NO! and Yes We Do!!!

[INdemo]

36. No and Yes she coould have if she was asked pre-arranged questions like

she usually has.

[mike dub]

15. Always a 'no spin zone'

…with Bernie.
Love it.

[litlbilly]

19. Bernie has always been that since ive been listening to him on Thom Hartmann many years ago

[KoKo]

16. Bernie at his Best!..although in my mind...Bernie is Always Best!

[ananda]

21. Yes, the best!

Thank you!

[tomm2thumbs]

34. agree, and then some!

Was in the game, bigtime

[Elmer S. E. Dump]

20. Bernie says what he believes and believes what he says.

No interviewer will ever trip him up because he doesn't need to lie, or make up stories about dodging bullets.

[StoneCarver]

23. Bernie is the best we could hope for.

I hope more folks see it too. He is as honest as the day is long!

25. Very nice interview and I was thinking of writing about this today. Dickerson said, "You have to win

60% of the rest of the voters" -- I didn't know that it was so little!

Bernie's points were well made, he carried on, and I sure want his campaign to go on!

I want Bernie to help ensure that TPP is dead, dead, dead. I want Bernie to say that climate warming will probably KILL the planet if we don't fix this fast. And reduce income inequality, raise minimum wage, have health care for all, break up the monopolistic companies, etc.

Surely almost ALL of us here want the same things -- I mean Democratic Underground is our home.

I am in Oregon and am looking forward to being able to vote in the primaries.

More contributions and help from me ahead!

Go Bernie!

[RandySF]

27. No shit, Bernie

Next, you'll tell us that 2+2 = 4.

[Silver_Witch]

28. He is against the Death Penalty

And I am for Bernie!!! Totally and completely.

And to all the Hillary supporters who say we should give up and unify - BERNIE says what I think - everyone gets to vote - including those of us in California.

So for him!!!

[DJ13]

32. That interviewer hit him with every pro Clinton meme making the rounds

This constant hostility towards Bernie for daring to challenge her highness is getting old.

[snowy owl]

37. I'm used to it, resigned to it, and accepting the Hillary win.

I think she will win it all and finally have her presidential crown. Isn't that what it's about for Hillary? if Kasich should somehow squeak out the nomination on the right, she's toast. He's authentic like Bernie. Even though he's another right-wing nightmare.
