The people that best know Bernie Sanders have spoken and they said

[Uncle Joe]

you can combine Hillary's vote total with that of all five active along with one inactive Republicans in the race Trump, Kasich, Rubio, Cruz, Carson, Bush and the people of Vermont would still overwhelmingly choose Bernie as their next President and Commander in Chief by a double digit margin of approximately 59 & 1/2 % to 40 & 1/2% 115,863 votes to 78,198.

Some people would argue that Vermont is "small potatoes" in the grand scheme of things but it can't be denied they know Bernie Sanders better than any other state in the Union.

This is one reason as to why Schultz did such a disservice to the Democratic Party and the nation in general by greatly limiting the number of debates and scheduling them for ridiculous times when they would least likely be viewed as an attempt to protect Hillary in the Democratic Primaries due to her greater overall name recognition.

The obvious result; allowing the Republicans to rule the airwaves for most all of last year and the early part of this year with continuous debates and debate coverage by the corporate media conglomerates with little to no substantial national stage counter-rebuttal or message by the Democrats.

I have no doubt this greatly aided Trump in his rise to Republican Prominence as the Republicans themselves and the corporate media conglomerates were loath to aggressively go after Trump early in their race and counter his idiocy, racism and xenophobia.

1. Rec'd for use of ampersand.

You know, we often forget that it's part of our keyboards.

2. I'm relieved to know that Sanders can win the State of Vermont in the General Election...

3. State-wide Vermonters know him enough to keep sending him to Washington DC.

From 1991-2007, Vermonters were sending Bernie back to the U.S. House of Representatives as their sole, at-large Rep.

They've sent him back to the U.S. Senate twice.

I think they know him. I became a supporter way back when I first heard him talking about the rich and how they were setting policy in Wall Street-on-the-Potomac.

Thank you, Uncle Joe, for every word. Pin this thread to the Greatest Page until Philadelphia.

4. Vermont is what you might call ,,,

High Information Voters

Pretty much the rest of the country is being fed bull crap

[JaneyVee]

5. "High information voters"

Massachusetts has the highest educated people in the country according to reports. How did that work out?

Besides being a ridiculously offensive statement.

6. "...highest educated people..."

If you read that carefully, your answer's right there.

[Uncle Joe]

7. Information is not the same as education, the people of Vermont have first hand information

on Bernie, his message and record.

They simply know him better, that's particularly easy as Vermont is not a large state.
