Bernie is on fire - what a good job!

[Rosa Luxemburg]

I am so proud of him!

[berni_mccoy]

1. K&R&bounce

[lewebley3]

72. How many times are people going post that Bernie is on Fire: He just was talking

[DianeK]

2. so great!

[Blue_In_AK]

3. I like Bernie so much.

He's real.

[Aerows]

44. He is the genuine article

That's what resonates with me.

[Awknid]

4. Proud to say I'm not surprised he's doing so well!

Don't just talk the talk, walk the walk!

[cal04]

5. Oh My he has a sense of humor

who knew

[ejbr]

6. My parents are Hillary supporters,

but are really loving him right now.

[lostnfound]

7. Adorable funny answers in that last section

President of CNN!
Nice warm ending too.

[pacalo]

59. He's so likeable.

[Delmette]

8. What I like about Bernie...

Is that he has numbers spewing form his brain that can be checked. Let's see if Hillary does that.

[cwydro]

9. He did great!

As I've said, I'm watching this with my 89 year old mom.

She was very impressed with O'Malley. She was in stitches laughing at Bernie's answers toward the end of that segment and impressed with all of his answers in general.

She and I are undecided, though she has told me she doesn't intend to vote for Hillary.

This should be interesting as it continues.

[lostnfound]

10. Omg I Love the passion and righteous anger about voting rights

Great great statements

"I have Never spent my time trying to figure out ways to prevent people from being able to vote".."it's cowardly and unamerican"

[Rosa Luxemburg]

11. YES!

[SusanCalvin]

12. He's angry about the same things I'm angry about.

And he's smarter and funnier than I am.

[SusanCalvin]

25. My I'm glad I don't know you personally.

And you have no way of knowing how much I have or haven't done, it goes without saying. For all you know, I could be a sock for RBG....

For the record, it wasn't me that alerted on the post I replied to. I think it's pretty funny, though.

[artislife]

39. There is so much

unhappiness in that poster's post. They are clearly hurting.

[SusanCalvin]

49. Perhaps I should have been more kind.

Seriously.

[artislife]

58. Sometimes, people have to go through

what they go through....

[a kennedy]

13. Ooooops.....he just wants to ask white voters why they vote against their interests??

The camera shot to some African Americans and they didn't look to happy....that will be a huge discussion later.

[wendylaroux]

19. I thought he said "why"?

[Warren Stupidity]

20. Um uh because African American voters aren't stupid

like that demographic. But go right ahead and spin it as racist. Sheesh. Don't you feel dirty after a hard day spewing crap like that?

[ejbr]

23. Too bad they may not have understood

he was referring to the fact that the majority of African Americans understand that Democrats are looking out for them more than Republicans; therefore, he was asking why whites do not have the same understanding of politics as blacks.

[Avalux]

24. What are you talking about? He didn't say that, he asked WHY voters.

Maybe you can go back and watch that again because you definitely heard it wrong.

[a kennedy]

66. Will watch again this morning......sorry for that, but I thought it was right on and the camera

people must have thought that also, as they immediately went to some of the AA's in the audience.....and some of the looks were quite telling. JMHO.

[Luminous Animal]

26. AAs vote democratic. Most republican voters are white

Thus. Working class and poor whites vote against their own interests. If he had said AAs vote against their interests, it would appear as if he is dissing them for voting democratic.

[SusanCalvin]

29. He said "why," not "white." nt

[Luminous Animal]

33. Got it. I was on the bus so I wasn't watching. Even so...

if he had said white, my explanation would stand.

[SusanCalvin]

35. You're right that it isn't AAs voting against their interests.

Democratic is the best that can be done in our system.

And now that I think of it, it's another example of his tone-deafness in this area. I hate to say it, but it's currently true. Really hope that changes.

I am NOT dissing Bernie. I'm inclined to the same type of tone-deafness, but I like to think I try to listen.

[karynnj]

37. Maybe because AAs vote mostly Democratic which IS more to their interest than Republican

[jeepers]

42. Talking about American class structure,

activist Saul Alinsky referred to the haves with all their power trying to get more,
the have nots desparate to get something, anything, and the have a little want mores. This is that large swarth of middle class voters, overwhelmingly white I think who don't feel secure enough in their economy to take chances. They vote for the status quo, oftentimes against their best interests. A thought

[NorthCarolina]

69. No "oooops". Here in the South it is poor and middle class WHITE voters who

vote GOP against their own best interests. The black community here still votes DEM, but they don't turn out in huge numbers.

I understood TOTALLY what Bernie was saying, and it has nothing to do with omiting, disparaging, neglecting to mention, or forgetting about Black people.

[moobu2]

14. Weird how Bernie Sanders talks about Bernie Sanders in the 3rd person

[SusanCalvin]

28. I think you probably mean second person.

I haven't heard him refer to his campaign as "they"...

"We," yes I have heard. And it's accurate, as the campaign isn't just him.

[whatthehey]

46. Well "we" would be first person plural but hey....

and when you refer to yourself by your name as a subject, that's third person. Not that I give a toss unless it's overdone but still...

[SusanCalvin]

52. Oh, did that occur?

That is a little odd on the face of it, but I didn't hear it in context.

And, yeah, you're right about my grammar. I'm currently having trouble distinguishing anything other than first person and everything else, it would seem.

[PosterChild]

65. Its a political / leadership rhetorical convention . ..

... all politicos do it. It isn't considered unpolitic to continually say I this and I that so they use we instead . Sometimes they start off an answer with we then devolved back to I as they fill in details and elaborate .

[Aerows]

43. If that is the best criticism you have

in your arsenal, I'll take it

[Warren Stupidity]

15. He was on fire.

[wendylaroux]

16. Bernie was great!

good guy.

[trueblue2007]

17. I LOVE BERNIE TOO. I wish i could vote for 3 presidents

[Rosa Luxemburg]

36. all 3 did well

[cry baby]

21. He certainly was very good. nt

[azmom]

22. He did awesome

[riderinthestorm]

27. He was excellent!! Loved Him. Not a wrong foot

[Aerows]

40. He is the best candidate

that I expect will come along in our lifetimes.

He is very inspiring.

[Dustlawyer]

30. Awesome job!

Hillary is now trying to suck up to the black community. She doesn't plan to have Bernie steal her black vote. I shouldn't be so cynical, but if I felt she was sincere I would be happy. She is going through the list of unarmed black deaths by cops shamelessly. I am glad that she chose this to run on for the attention it gets.

[Electric Mayhem]

31. I understand that Shaun King isn't too happy with Clinton

when she hasn't released her racial justice plan as of yet.

[Luminous Animal]

34. The Atlanta protest was, in part, a protest against her lack of

a racial justice platform.

[Aerows]

41. She hasn't driven a car since 1996 - she said it herself.

She's too "busy" to bother with the little people.

Yet you will keep hearing the meme that she has the African American vote sewed up.

Which is also false, since if you actually talk to African Americans, you get an entirely different picture.

[eridani]

61. That isn't elitism--that's living in New York

Owning a car there is like owning a hippopotamus, unless you have a reverse commute or something.

[Armstead]

62. People drive in upper-state New York -- Even in Westchester County

[eridani]

63. Thought she lived in the city n/t

[Armstead]

64. Nope upstate (though they may have a sleeper penthouse in the city too)

[Samantha]

55. Bernie did that in a recent speech

She did that as well?

Sam

[DVRacer]

32. Awesome job sir

That was informative and entertaining great personality.

[Aerows]

38. He is taking the children off the street

that is for damn sure. O'Malley is doing terrific, too.

[bkkyosemite]

45. You can feel his energy he is truth...great job Bernie

I'm Feeling the Bern

[99th_Monkey]

47. He did very well. I'd say he "kicked butt" .. but I can't say that anymore. nt

[kath]

57. you're sexist for even THINKING of saying that, you pig, you!

[99th_Monkey]

74. LOL nt

[azmom]

48. Bernie inferno

[Rosa Luxemburg]

54. They should play this at

his inauguration ball

[840high]

50. I haven't felt this excited

about a candidate since JFK.

[SusanCalvin]

53. Gene here. Hope this turns out differently. nt

[Catherina]

51. Yes indeed! n/t

[Uncle Joe]

56. Bernie was great.

Thanks for the thread, Rosa Luxemburg.

[SoapBox]

60. I could listen to him for hours!

I liked this format...Rachel did a good job.

And I've seen posts around wishing she would be the debate moderator...great idea!

[Rosa Luxemburg]

67. Me too

[LWolf]

68. Good to hear.

I need to find a video.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

70. I would like to see it again

[bec]

71. I was at the forum last night

and thought Bernie did a great job. Hillary gave really vague answers, I was not impressed. O'Malley did pretty good, too. And bonus, we went out for a beer afterwards and met Rachel Maddow. She is really nice. Took pictures with us and said good night to us when she left.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

75. OMG! How wonderful!

[Plucketeer]

73. Bernie's interview was truly inspiring to watch.

The truth and integrity GLEAM from every word he utters. And what's even cooler is there's no pauses to search for just the right slant or verbiage before he says something. It's just BANG!, right there.

Hey naysayers! How do you manage to pronounce "unelectable" with your heads so deep in the sand?

[Live and Learn]

76. Still Feeling the Bern today. He did great. nt

[retrowire]

77. i love Bernie.

he was so funny and sincere. just terrific.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

78. yes
