1. Actually, my daughter Holly was the Politico writer who first watched it all months ago.

Thanks for the repost!

2. By definition isn't a public access show already on the surface?

[question everything]

3. Never had a sense of humor - Sanders, that is

[Still In Wisconsin]

4. Bernie Sanders: textbook case of a person who takes himself WAY too seriously.

It appears he's been this way for a long time!

5. Well, he hasn't changed much

12. Timeless - and always timely

I realize the chances of his winning the nomination are slim.

But he's certainly made the last two presidential races so much more interesting than they would've been - and of course deeply influenced Democratic Party policy while he was at it.

6. When Bernie offered the stereotype that "Jews have strange sexual habits"....

...how that kid in the back reacted is all of us.

I, like Trevor Noah, never heard that one before!

10. One of my favorite Bernie Sanders moments from the 80s,

was during his press conference discussing his then-very controversial visit to Nicaragua in 1985.

He acknowledged that the Sandinista regime at the time was getting "killed in the U.S. media" because, instead of asking any hard questions, "every time Reagan gives the media a photo op, it's: Thank you, Mr. President! Thank you for telling us another lie."

Classic Bernie.
