My bro, who I'm continuing to 'splain Bernie to, texted me today about the awful interview with [View all]

Charlie rose yesterday. I don't have time to watch the whole thing... Does anyone have a good take on it?

I'm pleased that he at least watched it, but sounds like maybe that wasn't a good thing.

Here's what I saw of it...if you can stomach it. rgbecker Apr 2016 #7

The New York Power Media has a job to do and Charlie, ultimate Establishment Guy got appalachiablue Apr 2016 #15

Yes 'take Sanders down' is definitely what it looked like. JudyM Apr 2016 #16

While campaigning now in critical NY, my sense is Bernie will do as many media appalachiablue Apr 2016 #17

He is amazing... Multiple speaking engagements in different time zones. JudyM Apr 2016 #18

Bernie's a wise, exceptional & fearless fighter. The movement grows & we're in good hands. :) appalachiablue Apr 2016 #23

It all depends on us, that we're educated to be wary of their tricks. delrem Apr 2016 #20

I'd forgot the Kardashian event, a new low definitely! Your cockroachiness is appalachiablue Apr 2016 #22

Typical Charlie Rose! bjo59 Apr 2016 #29

Bernie did well in the interview, from what I've seen and heard about it sketchy Apr 2016 #4

Thanks, just watched. It's pretty bad, actually, IMO. Rose kept hammering him and bringing up JudyM Apr 2016 #13

I was disappointed in Bernie pandora nm Apr 2016 #5

Did your brother watch it? TexasBushwhacker Apr 2016 #9

I didn't see it. SheilaT Apr 2016 #11

Yeah, Bernie never got control of the interview enough to hit Clinton on anything squarely, nor to JudyM Apr 2016 #14

Too bad. SheilaT Apr 2016 #21

There is blame enough to go around and Hillary gets part of it. JDPriestly Apr 2016 #27

You make excellent points. JudyM Apr 2016 #31

Give your brother a copy of the book, Outsider in the White House by Bernie Sanders. JDPriestly Apr 2016 #26

Interesting idea, thanks! He probably won't give it the time, unfortunately, with his schedule JudyM Apr 2016 #32

Didn't watch but Charlie Rose is absolutely insufferable, no matter who he's interviewing... bjo59 Apr 2016 #28
