WOW! How COOL Is Bernie?!

[Segami]

Can anyone imagine Hillary doing the same as Bernie?...............

Apparently, AFTER the Boston speech, Senator Sanders went outside and spoke to that crowd of people who couldn't get into the building.

[Duckhunter935]

1. Cool dude!

[TDale313]

2. There's something happening here...

What it is ain't exactly clear...

[daleanime]

3. And that crowd was bigger....

then most of the other candidates crowds.

[MuseRider]

4. Well first you have to HAVE

a crowd like that. Secondly you have to care enough to do it all over again after you just finished inside. You have to be willing to work your ass off every day to win. If it is not apparent who really wants this job bad enough to work this hard and who either expects it is their turn or thinks they can win on experience or name recognition then I don't know how anyone with any real deep desire to do right by us wins.

[Segami]

6. +1000

[pacalo]

5. He has my respect.

[Fearless]

7. Hillary do the same?!

Depends on how much money they have.

[hifiguy]

46. She doesn't speak to people on the wrong side of the velvet rope.

Unless you start waving big checks at her.

[Old Crow]

8. Remarkable.

This is not your usual politician. This is not your usual revolution.

GO, BERNIE!

[Elmer S. E. Dump]

68. And isn't it funny they were right all along!

The revolution REALLY will not be televised!

[Old Crow]

74. Ha! I hadn't thought of that. Funny! (N/T)

[SoapBox]

9. Bernie is the MAN!

Go Bernie Go!

[Elmer S. E. Dump]

69. Bernie is the WORD!

Bernie's the word...............
He's got a groove, he's got a meaning
Bernie's the time, he's the place, he's the motion
Bernie's the way we are feeling

[Indepatriot]

10. Bernie did same thing here in L.A. in August....90 minutes on the box inside, then out to

the parking lot for those who couldn't get in. THE REAL DEAL!!!!

[peacebird]

75. He stopped outside in Cville to speak to those who could not get in, before going inside.

He truly cares enough to make an appearance for the overflow crowd in addition to the main event. That shows true respect for the people.

[uponit7771]

11. yes, Hillary is not the devil

[sabrina 1]

12. Where did that come from?

[uponit7771]

14. "Can anyone imagine Hillary doing the same as Bernie?..............."

[sabrina 1]

15. Well, has she done anything like this Which. even if she hasn't, doesn't equate

to her being the devil. Just not as in touch with ordinary people.

[uponit7771]

16. asked and answered, yes... and yes,... Hillary is as in touch with ordinary people as Sanders

... the Reich wing memes don't work on those who can tell they're coming already.

Hillary isn't focusing on getting 08n12348n23 million people in a standium but talking to people on a personal level

[sabrina 1]

18. Why doesn't she talk to people in a big stadium? She's asking people for their votes

as is Bernie. He talks to people on a personal level also, but talking to just a select few deprives so many others of being included.

I spoke to Hillary on a personal level. It was at a very exclusive multi million dollar home of a Dem fundraiser. I worked for them. She was very gracious, there were about 40 very wealthy people there for a very private dinner, cost them several thousand dollars.

The staff who worked there didn't get much chance to speak to her, nor did she reach out to them.

Charlie Rangel otoh, also attended one of these functions and rather than spend his time among the select few there, he spent his time talking to the staff, me included.

He really was interested in what we thought. Hillary seemed more comfortable among the wealthy donors.

[uponit7771]

19. She values personal connections more!? That's what it looks like, that's Sanders style hers being

...different doesn't mean its deficient

[dreamnightwind]

21. Corporations are people, my friend - eom

[longship]

23. Perfect response.

Except that you should have written "drops mic" instead of "eom".

[uponit7771]

28. Hillary is not the devil or a republican, this consummate demonizing is childish at best

[AgingAmerican]

33. You brought it up

nt

[uponit7771]

63. I didn't respond with "corporations are people"

[sabrina 1]

44. Looks like you're the only using the word 'devil' in relation to Hillary.

[hifiguy]

47. Her trickle down economics, bankster coddling and war-hawking

sound awfully Republican to me.

[uponit7771]

64. Hillary is a progressive, anyone who thinks different doesn't know her record or is overt FUD

[AgingAmerican]

72. She says she is a 'Moderate'

Not a 'Progressive'.

[uponit7771]

78. That doesn't mean she''s not progressive on issues... why..nvmd

[AgingAmerican]

80. Moderate is to the right of Progressive

nt

[dreamnightwind]

50. Those are not my claims

My claim is she is a corporatist, a more defining feature of her politcal alliances than that she calls herself a Democrat. I don't need to demonize her, her policies are not what I support, nor are her ways of campaigning.

[daleanime]

53. The only one saying anything about that....

is you.

[Plucketeer]

60. She's not a Democrat either.

A real Dem would be clamoring for MORE debates and sooner. Nope - she's said she'll show up wherever her handlers tell her to. Ta heck with those peons and their pleas!

[uponit7771]

65. This is false

[demwing]

71. is it "demonizing" or is it myth-busting?

Hillary is certainly not evil, but neither is she beneficent.

Neither hot nor cool, she's tepid. She seeks compromise as an end, not as the means to an end. Shes a talented manager, with a strong resume. What she is not, is a leader.

Her strengths may get her elected, but she is not, and will not be the President that we need -- her strengths dictate that conclusion.

She is the status quo candidate. She won't be tossing any carts, but instead will try to manage her way through the next 4 years. Like Obama, she will try to reach out across the aisle. Like Obama's, her hand will be met with a slap, with their fist, or with their middle finger. Her skills will not serve her, or us.

Hillary's support is wide but thin. She is not exciting, and she has no coat tails.

None of this is "demonization" --it's just myth busting.

[tecelote]

81. Exactly.

Corporations and polls are Hillary's crowd.

The one on one thing is a good excuse though. It's working for her.

[SoapBox]

31. She needs to haul her be-hind out from all those private 2700 dollar

a plate meetings with billionaires AND the invitation ONLY chit-chats with a handful of persons...

And look 25,000 voting Americans in the eye.

Of course, she will not do it! She has no interest in doing it! She isn't interested in us little people as she thinks she's got it all locked up as Ms. Inevitable.

Well we little people have a big, fat surprise coming her way on voting day.

Say Buh-Bye Hill!

[Art_from_Ark]

25. I got a similar impression of her when I met her in Arkansas

She had been First Lady of my state for 12 years, but when she and Bill came back to the state for a visit in August 1993, she didn't seem too interested in mingling with us local yokels who were waiting outside the Springdale airport terminal to greet them. Bill, on the other hand, went straight from his plane to the crowd and shook as many hands as he could.

[LondonReign2]

45. It's part of Team Weathervane's new rationalization meme

'Hillary doesn't want big crowds, she just wants to talk one-on-one" and "Bernie just talks AT these big crowds".

It's truly pathetic.

[arcane1]

51. Because "talking on a personal level" = "talking to large donors in private gatherings" n/t

[NorthCarolina]

58. She needs to ask them for their votes, but she also asks for $2,700

and you're not going to fill any large venues with that steep of an entrance fee.

[Thespian2]

70. The 1%er

doesn't see much beyond the enormously wealthy puppet masters...

[A Simple Game]

54. Bernie tried speaking to people on a personal level. But all of these people kept showing up!

Very disrespectful of all those people don't you think, unlike Hillary's nice respectful by invitation only pay per view crowds.

[jfern]

17. I think they're trying to win some non sequitur award

[AgingAmerican]

32. The flailing has reached critical mass

[Logical]

73. Why did you compare Hillary to a devil???? Nt

[peacebird]

76. Are you sure?

Nah, she ain't the devil, she's just a wall$treet loving pol in a pantsuit. Sadly for her, that issn't what the electorate is looking for this time out.

[uponit7771]

77. She's not a wall street loving pol and the pant suite shit is typical conservative FUD. That's one

... of the reasons I can't trust the criticism from the Sanders camp cause it sounds like some shit from FAUX news

[Duckfan]

13. This dude is truly more in tune with people.

Its almost like being at an important meeting i.e. a job interview where you don't just shake a few hands of the decision makers, you shake EVERYBODY'S hands!

This crowd has to be saying, "wow. He came outside".

[cui bono]

20. A man of the people.

Bernie is one of us. Period. He gets it because he lives it.

FEEL THE BERN!!!

[in_cog_ni_to]

22. Pretty-Damn-Cool!

And he does that after EVERY speech he gives!

No, can't imagine Hillary doing that.

I don't recall any other politician ever doing that - before Bernie.

HE'S GOOD PEOPLE!

[green917]

62. paul Wellstone did

But he's the only other politician i know of. (God, i miss senator Wellstone! )

[in_cog_ni_to]

66. He was something else, wasn't he?

A wonderful, wonderful man. I miss him too! Now we have Bernie! Both TRUE Progressives.The real deal.

[AtomicKitten]

24. He's very considerate of those around him.

Unlike Hillary who apparently is consistently late to events.

http://www.cnn.com/2015/10/02/politics/hillary-clinton-running-late-bernie-sanders/

[questionseverything]

37. i saw that article

i was taught people who are constantly late think their time is the only thing that matters....that showing up habitually late shows contempt for those who are waiting

not a huge point in the scheme of things but i see it as a character flaw

btw bernie is generally on time...just saying

[progressoid]

41. "She was running late from a fundraiser."

That says a lot.

[Erich Bloodaxe BSN]

26. How does he even have any voice left?

And he must have one hell of a bladder.

[morningfog]

27. Hillary could never do this. She would need an actual overflow.

[raouldukelives]

29. Ice cold.

[Le Taz Hot]

30. He did EXACTLY the same thing

with the 3,000+ overflow crowd in L.A. You're right, Bernie is the coolest of the cool!

[TBF]

34. I love that -

he is out there talking to his supporters - wherever they are - and he is not leaving people out. This is why we support him. He actually gives a damn.

[Uncle Joe]

35. Kicked and recommended.

Thanks for the thread, Segami.

[KoKo]

36. K&R...

[retrowire]

39. and he did the EXACT same thing at the Greensboro, NC rally!

Bernie cares.

[jwirr]

40. I think he speaks to the overflow room and people outside

every time. This man is really a people's man.

[senz]

42. K&R Over and over again -- Bernie Sanders cares about people.

That's exactly what is needed in a future President of the most powerful country in the world.

[valerief]

43. Now, that's class! nt

[hifiguy]

48. I can't imagine how much more obvious it could be

which candidate cares about the PEOPLE - at least the people without large checks in their hands.

for Bernie!

[cantbeserious]

49. A Man Of The People - No Citizen Need Settle For The Lesser Of Two Corporate Evils - Go Bernie Go

eom

[azmom]

52. Bernie has real love for the

People.

[DrBulldog]

55. Bernie's price of admission is pretty high . . .

. . . the will to fight for something better. Do you have it?

[Babel_17]

56. Give other candidates a few weeks to orchestrate something similar to spontaneously happen

lol

[Enthusiast]

57. Kicked and recommended to the Max!

[Rosa Luxemburg]

59. Bernie is the real deal

A guy who flies coach class and uses notes on yellow paper for his speeches. He's authentic!

[liberal_at_heart]

61. Bernie truly is for the people.

[whatchamacallit]

67. Way

he's way cool.

[Duckfan]

79. We can throw kudos at Bernie with little effort.

But if we truly want this man as our next President, we have to work our asses off to get there. Even if the chips are down. But I digress, I'll try to remain as optimistic as possible. Its still a long road ahead.

[darkangel218]

82. K&R!

[sabrina 1]

83. He is so cool, that the corporate controllers of our country are getting DESPERATE!
