    Sanders Shamelessly Pandering to Voters Who Want to Hear Truth

    Presidential candidate Bernie Sanders is gaining legions of new admirers by shamelessly pandering to voters who want to hear the truth, critics of the Vermont Senator say.

    According to those critics, Sanders has cynically targeted so-called “truth-based voters” to build support for his Presidential bid.



    “People come to Sanders’s rallies expecting to hear the truth, and he serves it up to them on a silver platter,” said the political strategist Harland Dorrinson. “It’s a very calculated gimmick.”

    But while Sander’s practice of relentlessly telling the truth might play well in states that are rich in truth-based voters, like the early primary states of Iowa and New Hampshire, critics say that his campaign could stall in states where the truth has historically been less important, like Florida.


    “At some point in this campaign, voters are going to get truth fatigue,” Dorrinson said. “Right now, the novelty of a politician who doesn’t constantly spew lies is grabbing headlines. But after months of Bernie Sanders telling the truth, voters are going to start wondering, Is that all he’s got?”


    Dorrinson is just one of many critics who is eagerly waiting for the Sanders phenomenon to come down to earth. “Telling the truth may be working for Bernie Sanders, but it shows a serious lack of respect for the American political system,” he said.

    Real talk here, that picture of Bernie getting upstaged by #BLM was hysterical and pathetic. I like Bernie, but he needs to step up. He looked so weak when that happened.

    maybe redstaters finally realized that Repugs are screwing, and are ready to vote their own best interests?

    Bernie Sanders’ Red State Revolution Causes 2 SC Rallies To Move To Bigger Venues




    In a statement, the Sanders campaign announced that two upcoming rallies in South Carolina had to be moved to larger venues after crowd projections outgrew the original locations.

    The Sanders campaign announced, “With turnout projections mounting, U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders’ campaign has shifted the location of Sunday’s rally in Charleston, South Carolina, to the Charleston Convention Center. The two-day swing includes stops in Greenville, Columbia and Sumter.”

    Bernie Sanders has found fantastic success in red states. Sanders has drawn big crowds in Texas and Louisana, and he drew a then 2016 record crowd when 11,000 showed up to support him at a rally in Arizona.

    Nate Silver: 'Stop Comparing Donald Trump And Bernie Sanders'

    Nate Silver took a look at the media's comparisons of Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders and found them lacking. He makes ten points, each of which are blockquoted below and followed by my own reactions, but you'll have to click through to read the entirety of Silver's analysis.

    1. Trump is “winning” (for now), and Sanders isn’t.

    Silver thinks there is reason to believe Trump's lead won't hold. I've tended to agree, assuming that as the ridiculously large GOP field gets narrowed, supporters of mainstream Republicans will coalesce around another mainstream Republican. But I'm no longer sure that will matter. Ben Carson is now second in many polls, and when you add his numbers to those of Mike Huckabee, Rick Santorum, and Ted Cruz, it appears that there may be enough unhinged GOP voters to carry Trump, after all. This shouldn't frighten Democrats now eyeing the head-to-head general election polls. Most Americans know the personality, but not his politics. Most Americans don't like bigotry and misogyny. My guess is that if Trump is the GOP nominee, Democrats could bring back Michael Dukakis and still win.

    2. Sanders is campaigning on substantive policy positions, and Trump is largely campaigning on the force of his personality.

    This is the big one, and if we ended up with a Sanders/Trump general election, it would become even more apparent. Trump is an ignorant blow-hole, and Sanders has a long, deep, and wide history of substantively analyzing and taking stands on issues. The guy is a wonk. Trump is an affectation.

    3. Sanders is a career politician; Trump isn’t.

    To the GOP base, that's a big plus for Trump. For voters who want a president that knows what he or she is doing, that's a big plus for Sanders. It's also another fundamental difference between the two men. Sanders is the real deal, while Trump is a fake tan and a bad toupee.
    There's more below.

    4. Trump is getting considerably more media attention.

    This says everything about the media. Silver looked at Yahoo News and found that over the past month, Trump has received more media "hits" than Sanders and Hillary Clinton combined. Of course, the media find it much easier to cover personalities than policies. It's their basic mode of operation.

    5. Sanders has a much better “ground game.”

    Sanders has a professional campaign apparatus in place, while Trump is more of a TV phenomenon. That can make a huge difference when it comes time for people to vote.

    6. Sanders holds policy positions of a typical liberal Democrat; Trump’s are all over the place.

    Sanders is not some whacky outsider trying to elbow into the Democratic base: He actually supports Democratic Party positions overwhelmingly often. This means base Democrats will like him. He even voted the same as Hillary Clinton 93 percent of the time when they served in the Senate together. Trump's positions align well with the GOP base on some issues, but are anathema on others. That will make it easier for Democrats to want to vote for Sanders, and harder for Republicans to want to vote for Trump.

    7. Sanders’s support divides fairly clearly along ideological and demographic lines; Trump’s doesn’t.

    This one may better serve Trump, whose support is ideologically widespread among Republicans. Sanders appeals primarily to white, liberal Democrats. That's not a secret, and it's where Sanders will have to expand his support if he's going to make a serious run at Clinton for the nomination. However, polls do show that Democratic voters who don't prefer Sanders as their first choice are fine with him as their second choice. As is the case in reverse—it's not that Clinton's supporters don't like Sanders, it's just that they like Clinton more.

    8. Sanders’s candidacy has clear historical precedents; they’re less obvious for Trump.

    Silver compares Sanders to previous insurgent Democratic candidates, such as Bill Bradley, Howard Dean and Eugene McCarthy. They all gave the mainstream candidate a scare, but ultimately fell short. But Trump is more openly hostile to the GOP than were previous insurgent Republican candidates. Given how much the GOP base hates all things government, that may actually help Trump in the primaries.

    9. Trump is running against a field of 16 candidates; Sanders is running against one overwhelming front-runner.

    The diluted Republican field has prevented the GOP establishment from rallying behind just one of their own, and has helped Trump jump to his current lead. I will add that it also means Trump's lead is a relatively small plurality, which may or may not grow as other candidates drop out. See my comment on Silver's point No. 1. But were the Democratic field as diluted, Sanders might also enjoy a plurality lead.

    10. Trump is a much greater threat to his party establishment.

    Sanders is an outsider. But because he has aligned with Democrats so often, if he were to win the nomination the Democratic establishment base wouldn't have a lot of trouble aligning behind him. The Republican establishment would have a much tougher time rallying behind Trump. His open hostility to the party, his animosity toward right wing media, and his apostasy on some key Republican issues means that if he did win the nomination, the GOP establishment might not even mind if he lost. The GOP establishment does not like not being in command. As Silver says:

    A Trump nomination would be more of an existential threat to the Republican establishment.

    Could Trump win without it? Not likely. It's even less likely given his inattention to the ground game, which would make him particularly dependent on the party's. Sanders would have the entire Democratic establishment behind him and he'd have his own ground apparatus. He'd have his long experience both with the politics of politics, with understanding and articulating his understanding of the issues, and he'd have stands on the issues that are much more aligned with those of the electorate than are Trump's.

    The media love a simplistic narrative, and for them equating the outsider candidacies of Trump and Sanders is too easy.

    But as is so often the case with narratives promoted by the major media, this one is also absurdly wrong.

    I have no expectations for Bernie. Cinderella was a fairy tale.

    Bernie will pull both Hillary and Joe from center right to left in the campaign, although of course campaigns are all lies and propaganda, not eventual legislative/executive actions. Insane, anarchical Repug extremists will block all progress.

    As His Leads Grow In Iowa And NH, Bernie Sanders Shows His Foreign Policy Chops

    Bernie Sanders is building on his leads in Iowa and New Hampshire by showcasing his knowledge of foreign policy, and his peaceful path forward for the United States.

    According to the latest CBS News battleground tracker polls, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) has increased his leads Iowa and New Hampshire to ten and twenty points respectively over Hillary Clinton. Sanders now leads Clinton 43%-33% in Iowa and 52%-30% in New Hampshire.

    The poll tells a different story in South Carolina as Clinton leads Sanders 46%-23%, and Sanders has the lowest growth potential will only 11% of those polled saying that he would be their second choice in South Carolina.
    His success in the polls has led to Sanders beginning to broaden the scope of his campaign. On Meet The Press, Sen. Sanders discussed his view of how to handle the Middle East.

    Sanders said, “I think clearly the now is not who is at fault. The issue is now what we do, and what we do is bring the region together. Countries like Saudi Arabia, which has the third largest military budget in the world. Turkey, other countries are going to have to get their hands dirty on the ground in taking on ISIS.

    I believe strongly that the U.S., the UK, other countries should be supportive, but I disagree strongly that the United States should have combat troops in that area. I fear very much that we will be in perpetual warfare in that region. I do not want to see that occur.”

    Sen. Sanders was at risk of being labeled a one-note economic populist candidate, but his status as the leader in Iowa and New Hampshire has given him the time and the platform to expand his campaign. The Sanders foreign policy message is going to be very popular with Democratic primary voters who also fear a return to perpetual war in the Middle East.Bernie Sanders doesn’t have the same kind of foreign policy experience as former Sec. of State Clinton, but he is no slouch in the area of foreign affairs.

    The Sanders campaign understands that to win the Democratic nomination, their candidate must be well rounded.

    A lot can and will change before voters cast their votes in Iowa and New Hampshire, but Bernie Sanders is morphing from an underdog to a candidate who is battling on equal footing with Hillary Clinton for the Democratic nomination.

    This week, Hillary went to hawkish, neocon think tank and gave hawkish, neocon speech. She's been a hawkish neocon forever, probably trying to show that going to war is no problem for a woman.

    The political alignment is shifting. Bernie leads in Iowa and New Hampshire, the most left wing socialist of the last 40 years in Britain (Jeremy Corbyn) has been made leader of the opposition.

    Neo-liberalism is dying.

    In US, Repugs have gerrymandering (safe, unchallenged seats) and voter suppression, so if they can't win Congressional majorities, they can OBSTRUCT 100% of everything Dem as they have since 2011.

    America is ed by the Repugs, and un able. I doubt a Dem Pres in 2016 will have much coattails.

    Bernie Sanders Goes Into The Lion’s Den and Tears Apart GOP Religious Hypocrites At Liberty

    In an amazing speech, Sen. Bernie Sanders went to Liberty University this morning and gave right-wing evangelicals a dose of progressive faith, and tore apart the hypocrisy of supposedly faith-based Republicans defending immoral economic policies.Sanders explained why he agreed to speak at Liberty,

    “I came here today because I believe that it is important for those with different views in our country to engage in civil discourse – not just to shout at each other or make fun of each other. It is very easy for those in politics to talk to those who agree with us. I do that every day. It is harder, but not less important, to try to communicate with those who do not agree with us and see where, if possible, we can find common ground and, in other words, to reach out of our zone of comfort.”

    Later Sen. Sanders turned the Republican support of inequality on its moral ear:

    Let me be very frank. I understand that issues such as abortion and gay marriage are very important to you and that we disagree on those issues. I get that. But let me respectfully suggest that there are other issues out there that are of enormous consequence to our country and the world and that maybe, just maybe, we don’t disagree on them. And maybe, just maybe, we can work together in trying to resolve them.

    It would, I think, be hard for anyone in this room to make the case that the United States today is a just society or anything close to a just society. In America today, there is massive injustice in terms of income and wealth inequality. Injustice is rampant.


    There is no justice when the top one-tenth of 1 percent own almost as much wealth as the bottom 90 percent. There is no justice when all over this country people are working longer hours for lower wages, while 58 percent of all new income goes to the top 1 percent.


    There is no justice when, in recent years, we have seen a proliferation of millionaires and billionaires while, at the same time, the United States has the highest rate of childhood poverty in the industrialized world. Twenty percent of all children – and 40 percent of African-American children – now live in poverty.

    There is no justice when, in a rigged economy, the 15 wealthiest people in this country in the last two years saw their wealth increase by $170 billion. That is more wealth, acquired in a two-year period, than is owned by the bottom 130 million Americans.


    There is no justice when low-income and working-class mothers are forced to be separated from their new babies one or two weeks after giving birth because they must go back to work to sustain their family and because the United States is the only major country on earth that does not provide paid family and medical leave.


    There is no justice when thousands of people in this country die each year because they don’t have health insurance and don’t get to a doctor when they should.

    Republicans don’t have an exclusive on morality, justice, and faith. Sen. Sanders called out the Republican hypocrites who warp the Bible to defend income inequality.

    Sen. Sanders was brilliant. He turned the Republicans’ moral argument in defense of the billionaires against them.
    Bernie Sanders made the inequality and poverty in the United States a moral issue.

    His argument was compelling. He discussed the immorality of the right’s economic policies.

    To progressive Christians, how some Republicans have warped religion to defend policies that harm millions of Americans in need is a matter of outrage.
    Sen. Sanders said that the poor and the wretched had a right to go to a doctor when they are sick.

    Sanders said, “Money and wealth should serve the people. The people should not serve money and wealth.”

    Sanders struck at the heart of a basic ideological hypocrisy, and in the process found some common ground with the students at Liberty University.

    No doubt, the brain-washed, indoctrinated stooges heard nothing.

    Bernie in Christian Taliban Wonderland

    Liberty U pastor tells Bernie Sanders that cops shoot unarmed black people because of sin — not racism

    “We would say, and I think I speak for many of our students, that it’s not so much a skin issue as much as it is a sin issue,” Nasser said to thunderous and sustained applause. “That we can change the behavior of police, we could put cameras on them all day long, but behavior modification can only stop so short as iden y change. I think we want what you want.”

    Nasser, who migrated to the U.S. as a child from Iran and later converted to Christianity, assured Sanders that he and the Christian students shared the same concerns, but he suggested more pro-business solutions.

    “I think where you’re going to find commonality is at Liberty University,” Nasser said. “We’re not interested in making sure people are invited to sit in the bus or even sit at a restaurant table — we want to see them own the bus and own the restaurant.”
