SIOUX CITY, Iowa (AP) — Bernie Sanders was halfway through his opening statement — a stern, 45-minute lecture on domestic policy leavened with a dash of political pep talk — when he realized the crowd had missed one of his rare attempts at humor.
"That was a joke!" he bellowed. Laughter briefly rippled through the audience as the Vermont senator returned to his statistic-rich pitch for increasing the federal minimum wage to $15 per hour and breaking up big Wall Street banks.
Sanders' down-to-business demeanor on the campaign trail belies the youthful enthusiasm that's accompanied his unexpected rise in the Democratic race for president. With less than two weeks until voting begins, the 74-year-old self-described democratic socialist could win both Iowa and New Hampshire, a once unthinkable outcome in a primary campaign that was supposed to be tailor-made for Hillary Clinton.
"Today the inevitable candidate doesn't look quite so inevitable," Sanders told voters who braved icy roads and single-digit temperatures to see him speak Tuesday morning in Fort Dodge.

I am SO tired of this self-described crap.
never thought of it that way.
Starting next January.
Maybe someone reading this post will pick up the idea? 
It's not any more breaking than this story about the titanic:
But I assume it is news to you.
This might help
Criticism
In early coverage of a breaking story, details are commonly sketchy, usually due to the limited information that is available at the time. For example, during the Sago Mine disaster, there were initial reports that all twelve miners were found alive, but news organizations later learned that only one actually survived.
Often it is considered important to be quick with news bulletins also for less important news. Such news might not be mentioned on later days, even if it was found that information was wrong.
Another criticism has been the diluting of the importance of "breaking news" by the need of 24-hour news channels to fill time, applying the title to soft news stories of questionable importance and urgency (for example, car chases). Others question as to whether the use of the term is excessive, citing occasions when the term is used even though scheduled programming is not interrupted.[7] Some programs, such as HLN's Nancy Grace, have even used the term for events which occurred months before.
In June 2013, Fox affiliate WDRB in Louisville, Kentucky gained notice in the television industry for a promo that criticized the broad and constant use of the "breaking news" term, explaining that that it has been overused as a "marketing ploy" by other news-producing stations, who tend to apply the term to stories that are low in urgency and/or relevance. To coincide with the promo, on its website, WDRB posted "Contracts" with its viewers and advertisers, with the former list promising to use "breaking news" judiciously (applying it to stories that are "both 'breaking' and 'news'"

Keeps getting better! Thanks, Omaha Steve!!
We have a signed document to prove it.
And some would say Bernie would be a weak leader.
He states everybody is entitled to their opinion.
How many town halls has Hillary done in this format with REAL questions since she announced?
