It's Official: Team Clinton "is worried" about Bernie Sanders

Team Clinton ‘worried’ about Bernie Sanders campaign
By Ben Kamisar * The Hill * 7/6/2015

Hillary Clinton’s campaign is “worried” about Bernie Sanders, whom a top Clinton aide described as a “serious force” in the 2016 battle.

“We are worried about him, sure. He will be a serious force for the campaign, and I don’t think that will diminish,” Clinton Communications Director Jennifer Palmieri said Monday in an interview with MSNBC's "Morning Joe."

“It's to be expected that Sanders would do well in a Democratic primary, and he’s going to do well in Iowa in the Democratic caucus.” Sanders, an independent senator from Vermont, has emerged as Clinton's main foil in the Democratic primary.

Shout out to Bernie Sanders supporters: Please don't attack Hillary

I'm a strong & enthusiastic Sanders supporter, I've donated twice and plan
to probably donate more, and am volunteering. I absolutely love this guy,
and am very impressed so far in how he's been conducting his campaign.

I watched and listened carefully to his electrifying speech to 10,000 adoring
supporters in Madison the other day, where HE DID NOT EVEN MENTION HILLARY'S
NAME, much less attack or criticize her.

That got my attention, and my respect for Bernie grew even greater, as I
realized that Bernie's not even running against Hillary, he's running against Wall St.,
the MIC, Big Pharma, Big Oil, et. al. and he's running on the issues, not to gin up
hostility towards other Democrats.

I think this is why Bernie has long resisted being "part of the problem" in Wash DC.


This is nearly unheard of in American politics, to refuse to sling mud at "opponents",
while staying focused on the issues facing America; but that's exactly what Bernie
has done, and I believe will continue to do, throughout his 2016 campaigns.

Bernie is actually "schooling America" on how to run a respectful yet successful
campaign for public office. It does NOT help Bernie's campaign to ignore Bernie's
own good example on this point, not one whit. So please stop doing that.

The USA Is the Greatest Country in the World?

This link has an amazing set of graphs showing how much USA sucks, compared to most
any other country. This I think is what is compelling Bernie to "go for it", because we've
become an international embarrassment and it needs to change.

CNN: re: Madison Blow-out "Bernie's sweet-talking populism" and "wild-haired" at that.

FUCK you CNN, with your slimy innuendoes ...

now "the panel" is dissecting Bernie's Madison 10,000 showing ..

Now Bernie's "playing to left part of the left wing" too

But admitting "Clinton camp is worrying" .. while also noting that "Bernie never attacks Clinton",

On the whole, not too bad for CNN, but those lead-in adjectives were a bit much.

Actually Sanders doesn't even mention Hillary most of the time, except to say he'd rather talk about
issues, Wall St.because THAT is who Bernie is REALLY running against.

Woot! I hope this means what I think it means ... "Billions for Bernie"

I've been trying for 35 minutes now to donate to Bernie before the deadline, but all I
get is this ...



I hope that means the site is so swamped that it raises "Billions for Bernie"
