The Media built up Trump: Imagine if they had given Sanders rallies the same coverage.

It's not just Clinton that has tried to adopt Bernie's message. Did you listen to the Palin speech in Iowa?

And as the primaries progress they do everything they can to drive anti-establishment voters to Trump rather than Sanders. The corporate media does not want Bernie in the Whitehouse.

One day I saw MSNBC go to a Bernie rally and I though "Fantastic, this is a really great part of his message." The camera quickly pulls away. I wait awhile. They go back to the rally but Bernie is still talking about things that will ATTRACT voters. The camera quickly pulls away.

What a dog and pony show.

Bernie is one hell of a candidate. If he wasn't, he wouldn't be doing as well as he has.
