Bernie Sanders
Related: About this forumBernie at the town hall.
Is it me or does Bernie sound like an angry, disappointed father tonight because he is disgusted at the way this last weekend has gone?

(12,471 posts)He said straight out that tRump is a "pathological liar," at the Town Hall.

(3,040 posts)....is the only candidate that makes me clap at home while watching him on TV when he says things like that.

(17,644 posts)and yes it was horrible Bernie misspoke on one question and missed a golden opportunity on another.
But I believe it is more a sign of lot and lots and lots of campaigning

(24,324 posts)He's pissed. That's why he is running. And has every right to be. :> )))
I wish I had his patience.
I almost threw a 10 pound dumbbell at the TV in the gym today.

(7,499 posts)l do think the Trump lies are wearing. Bernie would rather speak to the issues than deflect poop flung in his direction.
That said, he looks tired. His schedule is grueling and he is in need of some down time. I don't think any other candidate has as many public appearances and TV appearances as Bernie.
I'm considerably younger than he is and there is no way I could maintain his pace.

(11,785 posts)I hope he takes a day of down-time after Tuesday.

(7,499 posts)Not only does each candidate get to speak at length, but I can change the chanel when HRH takes the stage.

MissDeeds
(7,499 posts)She always gets the last word, all the while listening to Bernie's comments and formulating a rebuttal. Perhaps though others change the chanel, like I do, before she takes the stage.
I simply cannot listen to her. Between her lies, pandering, distorting Bernie's record, and stealing his talking points, I just want to throw something at the TV.
She disgusts me.

(3,040 posts)What makes him an even more amazing person, let alone candidate, is that he is going through all this torturous campaigning for the sole purpose of helping Americans.He isn't doing it for the prestige or the power trip.
JFKDem62
(383 posts)He hated being away from his family during the campaign.
And Bernie, at his age, is doing the same.
Bernie is tired tonight.
For the first time I have seen, he is making a few mistakes, minor ones.
He needs to take a couple of days off at home.
MissDeeds
(7,499 posts)I have to say I am humbled that such a good and ethical person wants to fight to represent us.
Really, he is putting himself on the front lines and fighting to make sure we all have a fair, equitable and decent chance in this country. He is amazing, and I am so grateful that he is doing this for us.

Bernie is taking on the oligarchy so our children can be educated
and see a doctor when they are sick.
It is humbling and awe inspiring.

(3,040 posts)Hillary, answering the woman that had her premiums more than double, meandered around then ended up telling the woman that her best answer was looking for better costing plans while Sanders would have answered the question as "you would never have to worry about having to search for the cheapest deal because you will get the best insurance possible regardless of your income and employment!"
How can anyone even try to compare the two on health care reform?!?

(3,040 posts)...the fact that Clinton needs to temper her responses (see, e.g. her answers on healthcare, fracking etc.) to the corporations that give her money, Sanders just cares about people. Sanders would give his last dollar to save someone, he is such a rare person in our political atmosphere. I just wish more people realized that.

(383 posts)Bernie making a good case that the polls predict he can beat Trump.
And is now talking about his plan to beat Trump.

JFKDem62
(383 posts)Bernie says he will get a huge voter turnout, which will impact down ticket candidates
and send a message to congress that they must do the people's work.

(39,451 posts)more matter of fact.

Land of Enchantment
(1,217 posts)and he is tired, yes, but still has his passion. I saw his speech online today at OSU and he had a rousing crowd and so into it. The crowd was chanting 'Bernie Sanders has our back, we don't need no super pac' and he was chanting with them and laughing his ass off.
He comes across to me as sincere and a little tired but he KNOWS the wind is now at his back.

(1,268 posts)I fear it will get ugly.
Yes Bernie will clean his clock at the polls, but it's Chumps uneducated "morans" I worry about.
Chump won't get through a debate with Bernie because Bernie is a statesman. Chump is just an angry, prejudiced, white dude with a chip on his shoulder, and his head up his rear orifice.
I have another concern, but will reserve my judgement until we cross that bridge.
Else You Are Mad
(3,040 posts)If it isn't Sanders and it is Hillary that goes against Trump, we have to worry about the fact he has donated money to her campaign as a quid pro quo that Trump will use every chance he gets if he goes against her in the general. All he has to say is " how was my wedding?" and he loses the anti establishment right and left leaning independents.
