He really isn't in a position to challenge anyone on anything.
FSogol
(45,434 posts)3. Disagree. He can push the other Democratic candidates leftward on this issue.
His poll numbers will take off after the debates and his Iowa win.

I'm waiting for the debates. Hopefully he'll be strong.
I also disagree with anyone that says he's not in a position to challenge or that he's a non factor. I think we need to wait until after the debates...

The only candidate experiencing a more thorough media blackout than Bernie is O'M.
