And I think he handled the Syria question well--referring to having other regional countries get involved who have more of a stake than we do. Well done Sir.

If indeed, a significant number of R-voters go for Bernie in the primaries, Hillary will be out, done, finished, kaput.

intelligent, forthcoming and he answered every question like in a debate. Great answers! My concern is that they will cut him off debate night. Hoping for the best in the debate.

unlike the disrespect some Democrats have given Bernie like,the DNC chair,and oh whats her name, Senator Claire McCaskill,the Republican lite that won her seat by default.

Education, the environment, banking regulations, unemployment, etc. I personally have heard some Republicans say they are fed up with the Republican Party and that the candidates running on their side are all clowns.

Something about talking to Morning Joe I think is that you learn to address him kindly (inherent in a Bernie interview), then he's gonna recognize it would be a bad move to do anything other than a fair interview.

Leveled the field right there with that move and great for Sanders.

Two left thumbs up.

That conversation (starting at around 8:45), describing what the panel perceives as a common Republican perspective, may be the key to how he wins in November, if he can make it that far. Assuming that the Republicans ultimately put up a "traditional" candidate like Bush or Rubio, there is a large group of anti-establishment Republicans who may be up for grabs.
