New Hampshire is Excited for Bernie!

[Fawke Em]

Here's some sites and sounds from Bernie's excursion throughout New Hampshire today:

Londonderry



(This was billed as a "roundtable." Not sure if that happened first and then he went out to see the crowd, but this is more of a town hall than a roundtable.)

New Market

[Live and Learn]

1. K&R nt

[onehandle]

2. Almost 20% of less than 1% of America!

Wheeeeeee!

[Fawke Em]

3. He draws larger crowds that Hillary.

Wheeeeee!

[onehandle]

4. So did Ralph Nader.

Wheeeee?

[Fawke Em]

6. A few times, but not the 20-30+ rallies that Bernie does.

Sorry - we're past Ron Paul's and Nader's handful of Super Rallies. They had a few, but Bernie is consistently over-filling every location at which he appears.

That meme died a month or two back.

I'm sorry your candidate can't seem to drum up as much support and, trust me, if folks are willing to stand out in the cold overflow areas and listen to him, they'll be willing to get out and vote for him.

He lectures, she listens

[merrily]

20. LOL!

[Enthusiast]

58. That does deserve a LOL!

[merrily]

59. Of course. I don't just post LOL willy nilly, ya know!

[JDPriestly]

21. Maybe she listens because no one wants to hear what

she has to say. Or should I correct that? Very few want to listen to her, so she holds listening sessions.

It's all the more amazing that people come out to hear Bernie speak when he is giving a real speech and not holding listening sessions.

That so many want to listen to Bernie is a signal that he is more charismatic than Hillary, more loved.

[PyaarRevolution]

22. Bernie's stance is pretty clear on most issues.

So why do we need to ask questions? Meanwhile, what do Hillary and O'Malley have in mind when they say "Debt free tuition"? There's a question there I want elaborated on. How does her plan differ from Glass-Stegal and what makes it better? I don't think we've received a satisfactory response on that or else it would've been posted already.

[George II]

24. He has no interest in what his attendees think or have to say.

[PyaarRevolution]

32. I would like an answer to my first and second question.

Can you tell me what Hillary and O'Malley mean by "Debt-free tuition"? Does it mean I'll be taxed at 3% like in Oregon or does it mean something else? How about her financial reform plan?

[George II]

35. Three day member and you're already demanding answers? Hah!

Just who are you?

[PyaarRevolution]

42. I'm the person who...

Will be traveling to Washington two weeks after the inauguration of whichever Democrat wins the primary and general election and hopefully march on Washington. I hope to see all of you there, both Hillary and Bernie supporters, to march on Washington and make sure we have real reforms. I want to see numbers comparable to MLK's march along with necessary accommodation for when the hotels are filled(with the "March On Washington" under MLK people opened up their homes to marchers to make the numbers possible). I have a post on it but didn't feel like it belonged in primaries since it would be past that time and we'd be supporting whoever won the nom. so it's in general.

[George II]

62. Start your own thread on those two issues and perhaps I'll answer. The topic is....

"New Hampshire is excited for Bernie".

[tex-wyo-dem]

61. I'd like an answer too...

(I've been here since 2004, if that really matters to you)

[concreteblue]

72. THat's what I would say too....

If I had no answers..........

[cui bono]

85. So now having a discussion is "demanding answers"?

Geezus. You Hillary supporters are super mean and nasty. And bitter. And you guys have the nerve to complain about Bernie supporters.

tsk tsk.

[cui bono]

112. omgz... LOL! Thanks for posting.

How many hundreds of posts have said that B supporters are mean and nasty?

Sheesh.

And sheesh to me too. I really need to just start using the ignore function so I don't get sucked into the stupid. It's not becoming to me either.

.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

113. I thought you'd want to know. And I hear you!

It's so hard not to get sucked into these fights. I am posting way less to avoid them, and that's not good either.

Hang in there!

[The Wielding Truth]

33. You don't know the man.

[PatrickforO]

76. Sorry, George - gotta call BS on this one with all due respect.

Each plank in Bernie's platform is supported by at least 51% of Americans according to national surveys conducted by a variety of pollsters over at least five years' time. To me, that says that Bernie listened to us just fine, and his 40 year track record of being for these things shows me that what's in his heart is what most Americans want.

As opposed to your candidate who hasn't stated several positions until she was SURE what the polls and focus groups said. Like her stance on TPP - laughable, considering she helped write the damn thing when she was SoS. If you don't believe me, check out her speech to the NY Economic Club in 2011 where she BRAGS about her 'economic statecraft':

102. K and R This Puppy!

Hillary functions are a JOKE!!!

[cui bono]

84. Evidence of this?

Thanks!

.

[roguevalley]

23. on my god, George 2, that made me laugh aloud. thank you

[Fawke Em]

40. He takes questions all the time.

But, I wouldn't expect you to know that.

[George II]

41. Not at any of the events you listed, but I wouldn't expect you to know that.

[cui bono]

86. Another rude post. Making Hillary proud!

I hope you never dare say that Bernie supporters of behaving as you are.

.

[George II]

87. Did you see the post that I responded to? What's rude about mine compared to that?

Are you today's "designated hitter"?

[cui bono]

89. You came into a Bernie thread as a Hillary supporter just to be rude.

If not, then what are you hoping to accomplish with these rude posts?

Are you today's "designated hitter"?

Designated hitter? Huh? I don't play politics as a team sport. It's about policy to me, not teams.

.

[George II]

90. You still haven't told us what I said that was "rude". Care to?

[cui bono]

91. Who is us? Pick a post by you. How about that other one I responded to where you picked on a newbie?

Everyone can see how rude you are being and many have commented on it. You can do yourself a favor by apologizing and deleting. Or you can leave it and let everyone see how rude Hillary supporters are. That's fine too.

But I certainly hope you don't complain about rudeness, especially if you are trying to paint Bernie supporters as such.

It's also quite telling that you are responding to these posts about your rudeness but have yet to provide evidence of a claim you made about Sanders even though you have had more than one request for it.

Priorities, George, priorities. On DU policy should be a priority, not rude retorts and character assassination. Oh, and alert stalking or plotting.

.

[George II]

93. "Us" meaning me and everyone else reading this thread in which you made you "accusation".

[George II]

94. So what specifically was "rude"?

[cui bono]

95. Okay, so you don't understand what rudeness is.

mmmkay... gonna keep that in mind if I see you complaining about Bernie supporters.



.

[George II]

96. Apparently you don't since you like saying other are, but can't say how.

[cui bono]

98. I know you are trying to prod me into a hide so I'm not going to link to anything.

I've read on some hate site that you like to prod people and then alert on them. In fact I saw a screenshot of you saying that about cali. Don't ask for a link, you're not worth getting a hide over.

But there was a post where you refused to answer a couple of questions and stated that the person asking was a newbie and was demanding answers so you refused to continue the discussion, you just accused them of being new and demanding. That is a clear example. If you don't see it then I can't help you.

There's several more posts of yours that are rude. Just read the thread and pay close attention to your posts and read the responses to them. You'll see exactly what I'm talking about, it's plain as day. Several have commented it, some using the terms "petty", "peevish and short-tempered".

If that's how you want to come off and how you want to represent Hillary, have at it!

.

[George II]

99. Me? You're the one stalking me this afternoon. You make unspecific "accusations" about me....

....and my posts out of nowhere, then play games avoiding exactly what you're "accusing".

The rest is all blah blah blah.

Funny how that works....."methinks thou dost protest too much".

[cui bono]

103. I laid it out but I guess you didn't bother to read my post.

Go ahead and read it, you'll get your answer.

.

[George II]

115. The OP was posted on Sunday, I responded in this thread on Sunday. All of a sudden yesterday...

...you showed up and responded to each and every one of my posts here, including one that was a response to someone else.

And you're not "stalking" me?

[cui bono]

116. Not Good Enough, George II!!!

Last edited Tue Jan 5, 2016, 01:02 PM - Edit history (1)

But you are doing a great job of kicking this thread! Is this really how you want to represent and support Hillary? Barging into a celebration thread about Bernie with nothing but the intent to disrupt and then harassing people and falsely accusing them of stalking?

This could end if you really wanted the answer you requested because I gave it to you posts ago. Here, read this:
http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1251&pid=973876

I even pointed you to that same post here:
http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1251&pid=974203

But rather than read my posts and check and see how many other people commented on your bad attitude in this OP you have now switched to falsely accusing me of stalking. As I said, I know you are trying to prod me into a hide. Why are you not asking all the other people who commented on your rudeness what was rude about it? Why did you single me out? Are you stalking me?

Oh hell, while I'm at it, a quick glance shows that you are completely incorrect when you say, and I quote:

you showed up and responded to each and every one of my posts here

Show me where I did that. You don't have to link to my posts, you can link to yours, then there's no call out and you can't get a hide. But you have to link to every single post you made on Sunday.

.

[George II]

117. The posts are there, you can see them, and you know it. And you STILL can't say how I was "rude".

[cui bono]

118. Not Good Enough, George II!!!

Last edited Tue Jan 5, 2016, 06:54 PM - Edit history (1)

Are you going to keep saying I didn't answer you until I have to post 100 links to the original post of mine where I already answered you and all the posts where I then direct you to that post over and over again because you want to continue to falsely claim that I never answered you?

What do you hope to accomplish by continuing to disrupt a positive Bernie thread? Is this really the best way for you to represent/support Hillary?

And do you even grasp the irony of this last post? Claiming I didn't give you an answer while at the exact same time refusing to provide me with one? Did you see this OP? You should read the whole thing, you might find it enlightening.

[maggies farm]

100. This lurker

says you are tiresome. I have been here more than 3 days. Lurked longer than having an account too.

[CoffeeCat]

45. Clinton not been able to draw large crowds in Iowa...

during her standard "Fighting For Us" Town Halls.

Bernie has been drawing 2000+ crowds. Local field organizers in Des Moines told me that 4,000 people RSVPd for his New Year's Eve party in downtown Des Moines. Four times the capacity of the ballroom. Another ballroom had to be used and there were supporters spilling out into the hallways.

Both Clinton and Sanders are busy in Iowa doing these rallies. Each has their own style.

However, Clinton is just not attracting the numbers that Bernie is.

Quite possibly those numbers will change very soon---as caucus season is about to really heat up.

[Paulie]

55. Clinton Iowa 12/12

Forgot one. Oh noes. Questions.

2nd of 4 events that day.

[floriduck]

66. Nice spin, George. But

the real difference is Bernie knows the answers and his supporters trust him. Hill needs the questions to make sure she's taken the right position on the issues. More like an adult versus a young child.

[George II]

68. He knows what all those people at his "rallies" want? If that's his thinking.....

...that's mighty smug and presumptuous.

Remember, a candidate/public servant is there to do what the PEOPLE want, not what he wants.

[floriduck]

69. His supporters know his agenda because it has been consistent,

unlike some other candidates. The reason for his large crowds is because his supporters like and want to hear him. Nothing presumptuous about it. If Hill had a constant message the middle class liked, she might get more than a few hundred people at her rallies.

[George II]

70. Yes, they know that he's against the Brady Bill and is in favor of protecting gun mfrs.

Not exactly "progressive" positions.

[floriduck]

73. You're a crack up!

[Karma13612]

105. He voted against the Brady bill because it was Federal-based. Bernie

felt the law should be handled at a state level reflective of the individual state needs and particular gun use patterns (rural versus urban, hunters, etc).

His vote against suing gun manufacturers was based on the simple logic that:

Would you sue Stanley (the Hammer maker) if someone used one of their hammers to bludgeon someone to death?? No

So, why sue the gun manufacturer if someone murders someone with a gun? How about suing the maker of a car, or Henckel's cutlery?

George II, it's obvious you don't prefer Bernie Sanders. I respect that, but using such silly points to find fault is just that, silly.

By the way, I notice the Canadian flag on your posts. Are you a Canadian living in the US? Will you actually be voting in this Presidential election or are you just interested in American politics from a spectator role?

Just curious.

[George II]

114. He has a cute, convenient, and obscure reason why he voted for or against any legislation....

...that comes back to bite him later.

He voted against the Brady Bill. Period.

He voted for the Crime Bill that included strict sentences for drug law violations. Period.

He can't run from them now.

[Karma13612]

119. Are you voting in this election?

I noticed the Canadian flag in your comments.

Just curious.

[Fast Walker 52]

77. she listens to a carefully selected, hand-crafted audience, no doubt

[George II]

78. Yawn...................

[Unknown Beatle]

111. The first time I saw that Hillary logo

with the gold arrow and the champagne flute, I thought 1%, and next to it, " Oh the irony!"

The irony, indeed.

[MADem]

49. I don't say this to take away from a good showing in Amherst, BUT....

If he didn't get a good crowd there, he would do well to head north and just go home.

Amherst is the home of the University of Massachusetts 'mother campus,' with nearly thirty THOUSAND students. It's also the home of Amherst college, which has a good reputation, and Hampshire College (an "apply and you get in" school like that one up in Burlington) and those two add another three thousand or so students to the general population. Mount Holyoke and Smith Colleges are also nearby--that's nearly five grand more of a "captive audience" of students in the Pioneer Valley with not much else to do.

Also, he came to town on the weekend that everyone returns from winter break--everyone's looking for something to do to get back into the swing of things after the holidays.

I'm not saying that people who showed up didn't want to see him--of course they did. But his timing was good with this stop. He did the same thing when he went to Boston--he got there in early October, when kids were just starting to find their groove after a summer off.

[Fawke Em]

60. But that's all part of it.

Give the people what they want.

[lewebley3]

75. Hillary has move votes: draws more support

[Punkingal]

12. Does it earn your candidate votes when you make fun of another candidate's supporters?

I don't think so.

[George II]

34. So, just where did anyone "make fun of another candidate's supporters?" ?

[Punkingal]

43. Don't believe I asked you a question.

[George II]

71. You asked an accusatory question (with a false premise) on a open forum. Deal with it.

[Divernan]

81. Calm down, George - sounding a bit peevish and short-tempered there,

instead of your usual sunny self!

[George II]

16. The way the polls are today, if he "wins" New Hampshire he'll get 12 delegates to Clinton's 12

[Kentonio]

48. At this stage its about momentum and press narrative, not delegates.

[senz]

29. Come on.

It cannot feel good to make a comment like that. You deserve better.

[rynestonecowboy]

31. Petty much?

[lewebley3]

79. America is excited about Hillary

[cui bono]

83. And it's Bernie supporters who are supposedly mean and nasty.

Mm-hm...

.

[bec]

88. Yes she is doing

so well that she has to call in her backup, Billie Boy.

[restorefreedom]

108. way to crap on a positive post having nothing to do with your candidate

wheeeeeee!!!

[Uncle Joe]

5. Kicked and recommended.

Thanks for the thread, Fawke Em.

[TDale313]

7. Gonna be an interesting next few months.

I think Bernie's gonna surprise people (in a good way) in Iowa and New Hampshire. Can the media continue the Bernie blackout if he actually wins the first two contests?

Go Bernie!

[Fawke Em]

11. I bet they try.

Wonder how they're feeling in their boardrooms knowing that social media is end-running them?

I could understand when he first threw his hat in the ring and was polling at 5 percent why they didn't cover him. But, being a former reporter, myself, I don't get how they can't see the story potential in how social media was used to spread the word and that word translated into big rallies and those big rallies have translated into his leading in New Hampshire and running neck-and-neck in Iowa.

I always thought "rags to riches" or "nothing to something"-type stories were great fodder. Hell, I was taught that in J-School. Those stories are almost as popular as crime stories. That's how I know the blackout is on purpose. In any other circumstance, his meteoric rise in the polls and in fund-raising would be all the talking heads would talk about.

If Bernie wins both NH and Iowa, we can finally start crowing that the M$M is dead. They are no more relevant than rooftop TV antennas.

[TDale313]

15. They have a vested interest in maintaining the status quo

Bernie's policies are a threat to that. If he actually starts to look like he could win the nomination, I expect the (hopefully metaphorical) knives to be out.

First they ignore you
Then they laugh at you
Then they fight you
Then you win

We're mostly in the first two stages with some signs of the third. Expect the fight to get stronger when we start to make more progress.

[SoapBox]

65. You got that right!

The Entrenched Establishment of both parties are starting to squirm.

They are very rich, controlling and think they own it all...

Finally, we're gonna change that.

[PyaarRevolution]

26. That's because....

you're a real reporter.

I mean have you ever heard the AP News feed on Sirius Left? It's complete garbage, a bunch of non-political nonsense they report on and that's the AP feed! I could be wrong, it's been a long while since I've listened to it but every time I'm left disgusted. When I listen to a political channel I want to hear important stuff, not some nonsense about a celebrity.
Anyway, all that nonsense is what news has been distilled down to on Cable. There's a reason why I don't watch CNN or any of the other news networks on Cable for the most part...I don't care to hear about stuff like the missing airliner, Terry Shiavo or Natalie Holloway. The first was fine when they first reported it but putting up 24/7 coverage on it?! I feel less inclined to hear about whether a woman is in a coma or not and she should have life support prolonged.
However, that continuing coverage is ratings gold without pissing off advertisers.
I know, if I want to do get a degree and do Journalism and make a fine living I have two options...1.Do a ton of research, write a book on an important subject, do the rounds on the talk show circuit pushing it like Jeremy Scahill, Max Blumenthal and others have been done. At that point I've established myself as a brand for a journalist and can demand better pay to make a suitable living. 2.Have a side career that subsidizes my journalism, like selling music, directing films or writing stories.

[Fawke Em]

37. I left journalism after I divorced my son's father.

I couldn't work the crazy hours for low pay and raise a child by myself.

I'm in PR and marketing, now. Still using my Communications degree, though. That's a rarity these days! LOL.

[senz]

28. Brilliant.

If you have the time, energy, etc., I think this could grow into a significant article for one of the major online publications. Hope you'll follow up on it.

You have so much talent, Fawke Em, and you can do a lot of good with it.

(But if it's just too much right now, you've done just fine sharing it with us and the many lurkers.)

[PyaarRevolution]

36. Needed to add separately.

Because they don't want to lose their relevance/power as Gatekeepers. I said it once in another thread and I'll say it here again, the Mainstream Media wants news shows like "Democracy Now" dead and channels like FSTV dead as well. The same goes for "The Young Turks". They want Glenn Greenwald, Naomi Klein and others blacklisted.

[CoffeeCat]

46. Things are starting to change in Iowa for Bernie

I've been watching Iowa media very closely since the summer (I live in Iowa).

Bernie has been pretty much blacked out. I knew that his rally numbers were in the 2000+ range, because I spoke with people who attended. I could not find anything on his Dubuque rally or on his other rallies in Waterloo that drew 1,500+ supporters. Clinton's rallies were only drawing on average 200 people.

Here's video from a Clinton Ft. Dodge rally. Low attendance and you can see that the back rows of chairs are not filled.
http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/video/supporters-rally-hillary-clinton-iowa-town-hall-35588843

It's debatable what rally attendance means and if that translates into more caucus supporters for Sanders. Setting that aside, it is apparent that Sanders is drawing large, enthusiastic crowds and Clinton, in general, is not. Isn't that interesting?

I also noticed that Hillary had pool reporters from Politico, ABC, CBS, NYTimes and other outlets following her campaign and reporting Stories. Sanders had no one. I could barely find an article on him in the Des Moines Register. When they did cover his Waterloo events, they didn't report on his crowd numbers. All was downplayed.

I've noticed a shift in the last week or so in Iowa. He's got pool reporters with him now during his campaign events. The Des Moines Register has a reporter covering Bernie and his events. Jennifer Jacobs has been covering all of Hillary's events for the Register since early fall.

I noticed more articles about Bernie in local Iowa media and some are also starting to sprout from national outlets.

Although Bernie's blackout was worse than what Obama experienced in 2008, I can tell you that the media scales were definitely tipped in favor of Hillary in 2008. She was "inevitable" and was touted as such in the Des Moines Register and in other Iowa broadcast and print outlets. She had more coverage than Obama. As Obama's crowds and enthusiasm grew, it was as if all bets were off and the media just began covering him. I see the same thing with Sanders. His crowds and the excitement for him is a great story. Reporters are going to be all over the state, and they are looking for cool stories.

They'll be reporting on Bernie.

Like it or not--Hillary gets the blackouts she wants in the beginning phases of the caucus. I've witnessed this happen in 2008 and now in 2016. However, during the last month before the caucuses, the reporters just start doing their jobs and reporting on the cool stuff happening. They'll be reporting on Bernie quite a bit.

He's got great optics with those large crowds That won't be hidden any longer. Not in Iowa anyway. And that's important because the coverage can help him win the caucuses.

My 2 cents.

[PotatoChip]

82. Your posts are always appreciated.

It's hard to know what is going on in Iowa due to the media blackout. That is why it is great to hear your perspective as a resident of such an important primary state.

Thanks for the update!

[FuzzyRabbit]

13. Yes!

They will ignore him until he wins the election. All the large news organizations in this country (TV, radio, newspapers, magazines) are propaganda organizations, dedicated to promoting the point of view of the 1%.

[Fawke Em]

39. Because they're owned by them. eom

[winter is coming]

14. It's going to be an interesting dilemma.

How little can they report on Bernie without making it obvious to the most casual observer that their coverage is skewed?

[onehandle]

27. 56 days until the primary is over.

On Super Tuesday Hillary will have an insurmountable number of delegates.

[senz]

38. Goes well with the image in your sig line.

Doesn't matter what the people want, right? Who are "the "people" anyway? They don't count, do they?

47. Oh look at that...

And the horse has a bumper sticker on its ass that reads, "Just like in 2008!"

50. Here's the thing, billionaires only get 1 vote each. We, The People can turn out and elect Bernie

All those Super Delegates are not going to select Hillary over the popular vote in their states, they will turn to support the candidate who has the electorate.

Bernie Sanders energizes people, and the Hillary folk here are simply reacting badly to a case of deja vu.
Even with the major media & the power of the DNC doing their level best to hand her the nomination, Bernie keeps rising. More individual donations than any presidential candidate in history. Bringing in almost as much as Hillary even without her billionaires. And, he has so many of us donating small amounts that he can come back to us for more again and again!

56. Knowing what a "roundtable" gathering usually looks like

this cracked me up. We keep hearing from the Usual Suspects that people attending these events don't necessarily translate into votes. Really? People get up out of their house, fight traffic (in many cases), wander around for a place to park 2 miles from the venue, walk TO the venue, attend the event, walk back to their cars and fight traffic to get home and those aren't going to translate into votes?

74. And they do all that in the middle of freezing cold winter in NH!

YEAH, they'll all stay home on election day. Dumbest, most idiotic excuse EVER.

PEACE
LOVE
BERNIE

[SoapBox]

64. Go Bernie Go!

Every minute of every day...people are introduced to Bernie and his common sense / mainstream message for America. It takes about 5 minutes for folks to jump on board with support and enthusiasm.

104. I was at the Londonderry one

I had some trouble with my iPhone but I did manage to extract the video - I'll probably upload it tomorrow.

It said "roundtable" but not really, in that there was no panelists (not sure if it was intended that way or not). It went for an hour, about 20+ mins for talking, and the rest for questions from the audience. It was a nice small venue - 150 to 200 people? I had a first row. (!). He arrived on time, left on time (next stop: Plaistow, about 30 mins drive, getting him there on time).

I think one test that comes out of our extended presidential run is if you have the stamina. The travel schedule of the top candidates can be real burn-out material. Fortunately, Bern doesn't seem to be burning out, he's just more fired up.

106. "Bern doesn't seem to be burning out, he's just more fired up."

He looks like he's having the time of his life. It's gotta be incredibly energizing, seeing people turn out and respond to his message.
