Today join us as we WELCOME our SPECIAL GUEST @SenSanders to the @RPCoalition International #SaturdayMorningForum.

Hopefully we will get a chance to hear what Bernie says. Of course, media won't report it so . . .

1. Found link - unfortunately it's been on a while but Sanders is still there!

2. Sanders is at Rainbow Push and local news has reported it

Won't get much because the parade is starting but maybe at the evening news here. Outside of Chicago? Not sure

[Nanjeanne]

3. I'm watching now

4. Running mate? Sanders/Jackson

[Nanjeanne]

6. I doubt that but it was a good opportunity

For Sanders to speak and answer questions. There us definitely a warm relationship you could see.

it wouldn't surprise me if Clinton got an opportunity to do this also since Jackson is not endorsing. Wish he would. But he did lead the audience in a Feel The Bern chant.

7. Please no

[Paper Roses]

8. I agree, In my mind, Jackson is not the one for a running mate. n/t

[Ferd Berfel]

9. No he's not. His time has come and gone

There are many choices better suited to 2016 and beyond.

10. If she were younger, I'd say he should run with Eleanor Holmes Norton, but

unfortunately, she is 79. He should seek her endorsement, though.

12. Really? You think that's a winning ticket?

It wasn't all that long ago that MADTV did a brutal riff called "Sorry Mrs. Jackson" -- starring Jesse, his aide, their baby, and "Mrs. Jackson."

That would all come to the fore, once again.

It's a big part of the reason we don't hear as much from JJ these days, aside from the challenges his son faced in Congress, and his age (74).

14. Sanders needs a younger person

And a woman would be an awesome first.

5. Kick (nt)

[ellennelle]

11. yo! seems obvious?

a young black woman?

like nan turner?

[MADem]

13. Do you mean Nina? Not sure who Nan is...?

She couldn't even get elected Congresswoman.

Going from state senator, to failed congressional candidate, to VP is a bit of a leap.

[Jitter65]

16. She may have had a pretty good future with the Democrat party going forward until

she said too many really negative things agains HRC. It's fine for her to support Bernie but almost trashing another leading Dem contender does not play well with lifetime Dem party members who owe much of their success and support to the Clintons. If Bernie doesn't win, oblivion is her political future. Sad but true. She lopped onto Ed Schultz with the re-call business...and they lost.

[MADem]

17. No. She ran for Congress and lost. Badly.

Bill Clinton tried to help--he even campaigned for her, so I'm not sure where you're getting all that.

[noiretextatique]

15. A younger woman of color

Not sure who though.

18. I do and always will respect

Jesse Jackson. He tried to organize a boycott against the big box stores here in Silicon Valley for not hiring union labor in the late 90's. Of course the handwriting was on the wall by then. But he was one of the only ones still trying.
