Bernie Sanders had a great inteview with Maddow.

I missed a small portion but I saw NOTHING that was disrespectful to President Obama. Of course the Clintonites would love to push that meme.

A President Bernie Sanders would be respectful to his predecessor. Can you really say the same about Bill and Hillary Clinton?

To get there, a person has to tame their ego and value human beings for simply being human. It's an achievement.

I haven't watched Rachel in ages. This would be a nice opportunity to see her with Bernie.

He cuts through all the "politician" bullshit and explains the issues. I especially liked the part where he said people like the Koch Brothers don't believe in government. These folks want to privatize everything from the Post Office, to schools, to the VA etc. It's good we have someone like him telling the truth. Some of the wealthy are literally trying to steal our country out from under us.

but his ability to take tough questions, challenges, etc. and then to respond to them
clearly & forcefully, yet respectfully, while bringing it back to the core issues of his
campaign, is really quite remarkable.

Shame on you selfish Vermonters, for keeping this gem out of the national spotlight
for so many years.

In fact, he responded both in real-time and on Maddow. SO WHERE IN HELL IS THE REST OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY?!

Trying to git sum Wall Street $$. Not all of them, but too many of them.

Join the revolution, or pay the price. If not your children will pay the price with interest.

We've had him speak at Dem Party events for several years. There were always some curmudgeons complaining about this , him being an independent and all, but his speech kicked serious ass.
