(4,176 posts)Too bad many of the people who need to hear this message are hearing noise from some instead.
When his message should have been loud and clear and filled with his awesome history of positions, it was often muddled up by the noise created by some.
While Bernie himself could have used some media consultant help here and there, I think for the most part if his message hasn't been heard it was not his fault, but was the fault of others creating the "noise" drowning it out.
