Bernie Sanders

SUSAN PAGE (USA Today): ... And, also, his (Bernie's) manner. She (Hillary) has got all kinds of problems in looking approachable and looking like shes a fully-fledged human being. And hes all hes just totally approachable. Hes 100 percent authentic, approachable Bernie Sanders. So I think the contrast is not helpful to her.
TAMARA KEITH (NPR): Yes.
GWEN IFILL: Go ahead.
TAMARA KEITH: I was just going to say that when I talk to people out when Im reporting, they say things like, gosh, Bernie Sanders is just so real.
And it creates that contrast with Hillary Clinton, who has been in public life for so long. Shes had her picture taken so many times that she has that smile down just right. And Bernie is just out there being Bernie. And so it does create sort of a stylistic contrast for people.
Bif, Pow, Ouch,
That link above has the video of this segment (lots of fun to watch), not just the transcript.
Oh, start at about 3:00. But the goody above starts at 3:42.

... It took a while. It took a week for other Republican candidates to come out and to be critical of him, even though this is very bad news, I think, for the Republican Party in a general election. ...
(and more, highlighting how long it took before any of the Republicans (Jeb first) to push back on the Trump comments... and various on the other candidates ... just one more segment: )
Now hes running in Iowa, needs to win Iowa. And his preachers son, social conservative side is coming out more than it did in that reelection not that long ago.
GWEN IFILL (moderator): Candidates got to do what a candidates got to do.

(14,558 posts)By the time the primary season is in full swing in about six months, he's going to be a juggernaut. I analyzed the poll trends for the last quarter and found that Bernie's upward trend line SHOULD cross Clinton's downward moving trend line around February or March 2016.
Like many of you, I'm crossing my fingers here, but I'm really beginning to believe Bernie can pull this off. My wife and I are donating to Bernie regularly and will help his campaign more directly when the time comes.

(14,558 posts)He's got a real rectal-cranial thing going on there. Definitely the anal sphincter of the Republican party.
That would be a dream race (for us!), wouldn't it?
