    False. I asked a politically involved friend about Bernie & was told to watch interviews with him. That on paper he seems great but when you actually see him and see how he speaks that he's actually an asshole who talks down to people. I haven't actually watched any videos so for now I'm not in agreement with that opinion, I just wanted to point out that there's people who don't like the guy even if they agree with his politics

    Sounds like the kind of guy I personally would have a bit of a time befriending. But I wonder, Ident, how much that matters? I like the idea of having a friendly and compassionate president but on the other hand, I wonder if what we need most now is someone with good ideas and tenacity and hope any harsher aspects of the man's character doesn't get in the way. In looking for the right person for the job, I would have to choose a person who takes action in a direction that makes sense to me over someone with a more compassionate temperament who isn't as likely to get things done. Now if Sanders is that guy and shows a compassionate side too, that would be even better. We'll see, or not.

    I've seen a bunch of appearances on several shows and never get that impression that he talks down to people unlike some of the candidates from the GOP Trump & Christie

    Hillary has got to be worried. I can't imagine her debating Sanders.

    The link CH posted above shows Bernie at 17.7% and Hillary at 57%, Callen. I sure like to see those numbers reversed! (Thankfully, lots of time yet for that to happen.)

    It's nice too see the BlackLivesMatter folks finally let Bernie speak. Which is probably a smart idea considering he would probably do more for their cause then any other candidate.

    They didn't let him speak. He spoke at his own rally later in the day, but at the first rally in a downtown public space they jumped on stage and took over, much to the chagrin of Bernie's supporters. He stood off to the side for a bit and finally bailed. The blacklivesmatter fools even disparaged the crowd who wanted to see Bernie, even though that crowd was likely quite sympathetic to their message in general. They clearly don't understand how to rally support for their movement just as the poster children for their movement clearly don't understand how to interact with police. They may have had a valid message but it was lost in their stupidity, and they lost some support from the constituency who would most likely have given it. Foolish.

    Idiots. They need an advisor or something. They aren't doing it right.

    He needs to be held accountable for his actions? What negative effect has Bernie had on the Black Community? I'll admit I've only been paying attention to him since he's been running for president but in that time I've seen him speak out against racism several times. Literally days after the Bland incident he was saying that the cop was being way to harsh and that under his presidency police reform would be a top priority. Do these people have have any idea what they are even saying?

    These people running Blacklivesmatter are ruining any chance they have of getting anyone other than their own True Believer types on board with what they are trying to do. They can't even give a good answer for why they chose to single out Sanders instead of one of the other loser candidates. Very disappointing.
