Bernie is up to 32% amongst non-white voters. Up from 1% when he started his campaign.

[Luminous Animal]

According to the latest CNN poll.

His greatest deficit, at this point, is women, but we can change that.

1. Perhaps because they had no idea who he was when he started his campaign.

[NurseJackie]

2. Exactly. Thank you. (nt)

[Bonobo]

3. Be careful. Hillary fans are "spring loaded" to jump on that one with a prepared response.

The response, of course, that is in their playbook is:

"Oh! So you're saying that Non-Whites are uninformed and ignorant, huh!?"

Forget the truth of the statement, it's all about throwing mud on your enemy.

[CoffeeCat]

5. I call them "the cold water brigade"

Any positive or fun Bernie news is hit with a bucket of cold water.

We're supposed to be demoralized I guess...or filled with big sad!

[artislife]

25. They don't know that we are the polar bear club and can withstand their buckets

because we know that they soon will be filled with their warm tears.

[Uncle Joe]

6. Precisely and that's why Schultz greatly limited the number of debates to schedules when

they would least likely be viewed.

No candidate gains more from that cynical undemocratic approach than Hillary, she already has great name recognition, Schultz just wanted to keep the American People ignorant about the other candidates particularly Bernie and his message.

10. Bernie was totally blacked out in the Iowa media

I rarely posted about it on DU, because I didn't want to bum out his supporters. It was just terrible.

I knew that Bernie had 2,000 people attend his rally in Dubuque Iowa because a friend had attended. The Des Moines Register didn't cover it. Hillary had a rally the same day and there were 3 articles about it. I could't even find anything on Google.

Finally, I looked up local Dubuque newspapers and found the articles there, as well as other articles from local papers about his well-attended rallies in Waterloo and Mt Vernon Iowa. Both rallies had 1,500+ people there. Waterloo was standing-room only.

Clinton's rallies had 200-300 people.

The good news is that the media coverage has completely changed. The Des Moines Register has a reporter covering Sanders and he covers all of his events. We're getting a great deal more coverage.

Despite the lunatic debate schedule, the media black outs and the laughable polls--look where we are and how much we've gained. It's truly amazing!!!

[MrMickeysMom]

22. Media black out has also been here in Pittsburgh, CoffeeCat... it's everywhere...

In fact, my complaint to the paper, after much phoning and informing them of this unfair coverage is more than coincidental.

I'm not holding my breath on my letter to editor, but they now say they'll run it. I have to defend lousy reporting form the AP which they carry as front page news on this Wassergate description of what happened with the firewall.

Meanwhile, I'm getting all this Clinton e-mail. So, how did I all of a sudden start getting Clinton campaign pressure to "join them"? That's extremely low down.

[Luminous Animal]

7. Hmm. I remember reading some Sanders supporters stating similar and being

soundly mocked. Hillary supporters were certain that it would be "not good enough Bernie" forever.

[CoffeeCat]

11. That's their way of getting you to give up on Sanders

Because when it comes to the Clinton campaign, it's not about speaking the truth, but creating a narrative.

It doesn't work though.

They've got to stop using the same marketing/PR tactics that corporations use to sell toothpaste and CoCo Puffs, "Maybe if we say something repeatedly, they'll believe it." Doesn't work in political campaigns.

They waste their time, as evidenced by the growing number of Sanders supporters and the growing popularity of the candidate and support for his campaign.

[SheilaT]

13. Yep. The more people hear from him, the

more they support him.

[CorporatistNation]

19. When It Comes To Campaign CA$H, Hillary Will Always Go With INCARCERATE Over Educate

EVERYONE Needs to hear MORE about Hillary... IMHO... Like THIS from Segami's post on the GEO Prison Company Lobbyist Bundler for Hillary...

There IS A choice to be made here...

Despite all of Hillary's blathering on about Education, she prefers to follow da $$$$ and go with INCARCERATE OVER EDUCATE! ACTIONS Speak oh so much LOUDER THAN WORDS DON'T THEY?

Richard Sullivan, of the lobbying firm Capitol Counsel, is a bundler for the Clinton campaign, bringing in $44,859 in contributions in a few short months.

Sullivan is also a registered lobbyist for the Geo Group, a company that operates a number of jails, including immigrant detention centers, for profit.

What is the business philosophy of the Geo Group? Well, here’s what this for-profit prison corporation thinks about America — the hubris is breathtaking.

A senior executive with the second-largest for-profit prison company in America assured investment bankers last summer that despite talk of drug policy and criminal justice reform, the country will continue to “attract crime,” generating new “correctional needs.”

“The reality is, we are a very affluent country, we have loose borders, and we have a bad education system,” said Shayn March, the vice president and treasurer of the Geo Group. “And all that adds up to a significant amount of correctional needs, which, thankfully, we’ve been able to help the country out with and states with by providing a lower cost solution.”

The previously unreported remarks were made during a presentation at the Barclays High Yield Bond & Syndicated Loan conference in June.

4. Sanders startered at .8 in Iowa

and Clinton was at 60. It's now a single -digit race.

Amazing.

[Luminous Animal]

8. ! Yep.

[thereismore]

9. Awesome!!! Bernie always starts from nothing and he wins. nt

[Doctor_J]

12. As Hillary so eloquently put it in 2008,

Her voters are white voters.

[840high]

16. lol - yes she did

[jfern]

24. And her white voters were "hard working"

[MisterP]

20. And nasty nachos, from the looks of it.

Wouldn't go near that plate myself.

17. Signed up for...

21. Now, we need a version of the Bernie logo in the African-American liberation colors:

Meets



Can somebody here make that happen?

[joshcryer]

23. Of course.

Puts to rest that stupid "stockholm syndrome" meme.

[Babel_17]

26. This was essential

Kudos to everyone involved. Especially to those who had to stick their neck out by bucking the establishment's support of the establishment candidate.
