If his message is radical SheenaR Mar 2016 #18
Meh. Its all moderate imo bravenak Mar 2016 #26
Sanders biggest issue Gwhittey Mar 2016 #27
It is his extreme focus on one message and lack of a broad range of policy positions bravenak Mar 2016 #28
Do you believe in running for president only if your views are shared by a majority JonLeibowitz Mar 2016 #31
I have radical views on most topics bravenak Mar 2016 #32
That wasn't my question JonLeibowitz Mar 2016 #33
No. It is not. bravenak Mar 2016 #34
Unfortunately, JonLeibowitz Mar 2016 #35
I'm sorry. bravenak Mar 2016 #36
Bernie has a broad range of policy positions Kumbricia Mar 2016 #155
That's one person's opinion, and here is another that feels Hillary's message is too radical. jillan Mar 2016 #37
The numbers bear this out bravenak Mar 2016 #38

I agree with your analysis Gothmog Mar 2016 #72
Here is why it may be missing its mark. Jitter65 Mar 2016 #41
+1 and then some. oasis Mar 2016 #47
I agree. I think many refuse to look at the past and actually see what was there. bravenak Mar 2016 #54
Maybe because Bernie wants his proposals to benefit everyone and isn't much of a panderer. Vinca Mar 2016 #42
Or because he never realized that he need to appeal to a broad spectrum of DEMOCRATS bravenak Mar 2016 #53
Bernie isn't selling himself. ZX86 Mar 2016 #62
They are all selling themselves and their ideas as products bravenak Mar 2016 #64
No that is not what we do. ZX86 Mar 2016 #95
No. They base it on what's cool and new bravenak Mar 2016 #99
That's what consumers who make poor decisions do. ZX86 Mar 2016 #115
And we both know most consumers do not make good choices most of the time bravenak Mar 2016 #116
Consumers presented with unbiased and factual information ZX86 Mar 2016 #119
How often does that happen though? bravenak Mar 2016 #121

I think characterizing Black Voters as "moderate" grossly oversimplifies the issues. Agnosticsherbet Mar 2016 #126
I read it as being about black moderates, not that all blacks ARE moderate. bettyellen Mar 2016 #129
I felt it was a reference to her big wins among black voters Agnosticsherbet Mar 2016 #130
In other words, many moderate blacks are abandoning those of the same color that are less well off. Live and Learn Mar 2016 #156
