Bernie just told Jake Tapper that the 'Establishment'...Congress, Media, Business..

[islandmkl]

are all out of touch with the problems of real people in America....

he is trying to get them to understand why he is more and more popular...but he doesn't seem to be bothered by their inability to 'get it' and isn't going to waste too much time trying to get them to see...

he knows that THE PEOPLE see...

[tazkcmo]

1. The Establishment says

Fuck the people. Now back to work Proles!

[NRaleighLiberal]

2. Tapper - all of them in the media - are in the bubble - so they have absolutely no clue.

[pangaia]

8. Actually, I think some/many do know what's going on.

But they are paid to ignore it.
That's their job.

[Enthusiast]

19. Huge +1!

[wordpix]

23. true investigative reporters get paid almost nothing

But guys like Tapper are in the MSM and that's different.

If a reporter came up the hard way working for local rags for min. wage, they know what's going on.

[freedom fighter jh]

3. Exactly

He's on TV. He's talking to the American people, regardless of what journalist is asking the questions.

[Akamai]

4. Jesus H. -- Bernie is the strong voice Obama pretended to be!

Although, yes, Obama had The Caucus Room Conspiracy against him, the whole Republican Party, the Supreme Court, lies against him endorsed by the feckless and conniving media -- but Obama never roared out the truth as Bernie is doing now!

People are flocking to Bernie's message because he is telling critical facts about this country and the world.

I hope that within a very short time, Hillary supporters such as Franken will switch their support to Bernie.

Go Bernie!

[pangaia]

9. I don't get Franken..why he is suporting Clinton.

[Akamai]

10. Pangaia -- Probably Hillary has been helpful with him on a number of important issues, etc., but I

think he will change in the not-to-distant future.

Go Bernie!!

[pangaia]

11. Thanks.

The lying liars and the lies the lying liars tell, and all that.

[pangaia]

13. I just found it.

She helped Franken a lot when he was running for Wellstone's seat.. it's in another OP which I won't link. :&gt )

[99Forever]

15. I asked him (Al Franken) that question.

He didn't answer or wouldn't. Either way, not good enough Al.

[Akamai]

22. Thanks -- When did you ask him that? Franken's evolution seems inevitable.

[99Forever]

26. When he publicly announced his endorsement.

If he had waited until we had caucused (Minnesota) that would have been one thing, but he didn't. I've lost all respect for him. This after working hard to get him elected. Never again.

[EndElectoral]

5. As long as their jobs rely on the Establishment their reporting, legislating, investing is affected.

[in_cog_ni_to]

6. Not only do we see...we KNOW IT because we feel it.

The middle class is being crushed by the economic inequalities.

We've got his back. The 1% is about to witness the power of the 99%...WE THE PEOPLE.

99% > 1%!

PEACE
LOVE
BERNIE

12. "isn't going to waste too much time trying to get them to see... "

That's the thing, if Bernie is serious about winning the primaries and the GE, it's absolutely imperative that he articulate his POV and how it relates to our lives. He needs to put on a professorial hat and explain his platform within the context of various current events.

He should be as specific as possible when explaining how the actions of wall street or billionaires are negatively impacting our lives, otherwise, the message will fall on deaf ears. If he came to my city and did a survey, he'd quickly find that billionaires and Wall Street arent even in the top 50 concerns list. But maybe Bernie could make the case of why it should be?

But I don't see that happening. He has this demeanor of being annoyed with questions or things he considers distractions. Skipping details and assuming people are already on the same page won't cut it. He's tired of explaining himself, apparently.

[islandmkl]

14. i think Bernie is more focused on getting the message to 'the people'...

rather than the MSM which aren't going to give him much coverage until they have to...

it seems his 'local messaging' is in full-explanation mode...it just doesn't appear on the media programs...because they don't want too many people to 'see' it...

when people hear his message, they tend to get it...which undermines all the attempts by all the establishment entities to try to minimize/ignore what he is saying...

16. When you have a huge conflict of interest you don't see the problem.

17. k&r

18. Where has he been the last 25 years?

[islandmkl]

24. attention span challenged? n/t needed

25. Sad that people have to resort to insults.

[AlbertCat]

27. Sad that people have to resort to insults.

Well, don't ask stupid questions, disguised as "gotcha".

[jillan]

29. Where has he been? The same exact place he is now but without a national stage.

If you are really interested, and not just posting out of snark - here is a good place to start....

20. Needs repeating...

"...are all out of touch with the problems of real people in America."

Truth!

GOTV for Bernie!

28. Anyone who is against Sanders is establishment. That's why politicians and groups that endorse him

aren't establishment, but politicians and groups that endorse Hillary are.

[treestar]

31. +1 that's about all there is to it

The Establishment and Revolution language needs to go back to the 1960s where Bernie apparently still resides.

[Empowerer]

32. Sanders is a charter member of the Establishment

but has done an excellent job of convincing people tha he's an outsider.t

[libdem4life]

33. Yep. The only Senator to not want to put up with the crap of either party.

A real Independent. Yeah, I know all the rest...running as a Democrat...first of it's kind if nothing else. Talking about breaking up banks...that's real popular with the Establishment. Calling out the rich on being takers without taxation...Establishment just stands in line to hear that one.

And health care for all...a sure Establishment winner.

Not.

[Empowerer]

34. He's still a member of the Establishment

[libdem4life]

35. Sure...can you name any one eligible and

prepared who, by your definition is a pure non establishment? or is it game over?

Thanks for the thread, islandmki.
