Cool story, bro.
democratic party is a
ed up party rank with corruption.i saw this retweeted at least one other place, not sure if true or not
Sorry, Turdeau is just as bad if not worse. Oh, and we have better weather. lol
hes bad, i dunno if hes as bad. bernies better i think but bernie would have been in charge of the empire so i dont know about that.
Bernie is too much of a socialist to be president here. Perhaps he can run in Canada.
bernie would have been president if it wasnt rigged against him by the establishment.
american opinions towards socialism and fascism has radically changed in 10 years
I liked Bernie. He seemed sincere, but was way too socialist for me. Liked him more than Trump or Hillary. Voted for the pot head Johnson. Didn't agree with Johnson on many issues, but he seemed the best choice out of 3 bad choices.

I'm not sure about that.
Bernie wasn't even a Democrat until about five minutes before he ran as one.
No matter what Clinton and the DNC did, at the end of the day, Clinton got the primary votes, ahead of Bernie.
Yes, I suppose we could play 'what about' or 'what if', but it's not clear to me Bernie would have won one way or another...
As well, like Trump or no, he's a strongman and he's pushing his idiot agenda through our lobbyist government.
That same lobbyist government would have stopped Bernie in his tracks, just saying.
she got the votes for one because the media gave her and trump all the coverage. bernie got hardly any. it wasnt rocket science that she was awful and hte media couldve but obviously wasnt going to do its job.
as weve just discovered the DNC was totally rigged and owned by hillary.
thats a good point you make about lobbyist government, but the presidents do have alot of power and it makes a difference whos in office.

From where I was watching, Bernie got mad press.
I was hoping for a Bernie/Trump cage fight, those debates would have been sweet.
trumps empty podium got more coverage than everything bernie did.
last i recall trump got 8 billion in press, hillary 5 billion, everyone else not even a billion.

My parents always said...."bad choices have bad consequences." Oh really??!! Teflon isn't just for pans!
ok so my memory may be way off but here are some different numbers:
Donald Trump received blanket coverage. His every move, every tweet, almost all his speeches were covered across the networks. The U.S. corporate media made candidate Donald Trump. Estimates of the free airtime he received vary from $1 billion to as high as $3 billion.
What about Bernie Sanders? The Tyndall Report analyzed major-network campaign coverage in 2015. In over 1,000 minutes of national broadcast television airtime devoted to all the campaigns, Donald Trump received 327 minutes, or close to one-third of all the campaign coverage. Bernie Sanders received just 20 minutes. Hillary Clinton got 121 minutes of campaign coverage, six times the amount Sanders received. “ABC World News Tonight” aired 81 minutes of reports on Donald Trump, compared with just 20 seconds for Sanders.
I asked Sanders what he did to warrant a full 20 seconds of coverage on ABC, and he threw his head back, laughing out loud. “We had the misfortune of actually trying to talk about the problems facing America and providing real solutions,” he said, offering his take on the media’s failure. “Trump was tweeting out about how ugly or horrible or disgusting or terrible his opponents were, in really ugly terms. Perfect for the media. That is a great 12-second sound bite. But to talk about why the middle class is in decline or why we have massive levels of income and wealth inequality can’t be done in 12 seconds. And second of all, it’s not something that they are, frankly, terribly interested in.” While the media may not have been interested in Sanders’ message, the voters were. Despite the media blackout, Sanders won 23 primary contests and 46 percent of the pledged Democratic delegates.
