Bernie Sanders blasts GOP: ‘The Republican Party today is a joke maintained by the media’

http://www.rawstory.com/2016/03/bernie-sanders-blasts-gop-the-republican-party-today-is-a-joke-maintained-by-the-media/

Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders spoke with MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow on Wednesday about Donald Trump’s comments on abortion, indicating the GOP front-runner’s comments were “beyond comprehension.” He also discussed the state of the presidential race and criticized the media’s fascination with Trump.

The interview will air on a special edition of The Rachel Maddow Show on Wednesday at 10 p.m., after Maddow’s separate interview with Sanders’s opponent, Hillary Clinton.

What you really need in this country is a progressive party standing with the working class and the middle class of this country. And yes, a conservative party that, you know, has, you know, is more fiscally conservative. That is where we should be as a country.

But the Republican Party today now is a joke, maintained by a media which really does not force them to discuss their issues

Sorry Rachel - You are part of the Sick, destructive, anti-democracy joke





and M$NBC, Maddow, Tweety and the rest are part of the cabal

I read the International NY times and USA today and it was all drumpf. No mention of Clinton, Sanders and a small in paragraph mention of Cruz. On Sky news, CNN international it was all drumpf. The media is obsessed with him.

Blame where blame is due. It's not the Media, it's the masses of followers. If no one showed up at them rallies, the press would drop them pretty quick. (Although to be fair, the Media is pretty bad).
