Get ready for a please proceed moment in tonite's debate in Flint.

Hillary supporter was just on CNN saying while Bernie delivers speeches, Hillary is actually doing things in Flint.

Guess he doesn't know about the time Bernie met with residents of Flint privately away from cameras. And later had this townhall in Flint to give the residents an opportunity to be heard.


which lead to moments like this
.

Or that his campaign opened an office in Flint to be there for its residents & for small acts of human kindness like this

And then because of his involvement in the community this happened....

The call was echoed by a handful of local politicians, activists and community members endorsing the democratic socialist from Vermont Monday at New Bethel Baptist Church in Detroit.


So please proceed how Bernie has done nothing in Flint but given a speech.

She doesn't even have the influence to get congress to pass an aid package which is being held up by a republican because he deems that Flint doesn't need help from the Federal Government.

They would probably try to frame Sanders as weak for caring about these people on any other week...but this week there is political hay to be made.

I'll keep this nearby to see if Her Majesty has a better angels moment and does something solid for the people of Flint:

And, some people seem to believe it so I guess it's working for them.

Shame really.

He said that maybe Sanders maybe should have done a photo op, considering all the griping I've been doing about him being ignored by MSM. He actually has a point there. Self-effacement is one of the many reasons why his supporters like him a lot, but would it be helpful if he were more in your face bour seeking publicity?
