I recall a few weeks ago when it came out that Sen. Bernie Sanders would enter into the primaries as a challenger to Clinton. At first few took him seriously, especially the MSM…..they scoffed, they snickered and they trashed Bernie at every turn……their attitude was….:how dare someone attempt to challenge the person we picked as the nominee”…….
Slowly but slowly the snickering has all but ceased…..why? Bernie is NOT the clown they wanted him to be…….and slowly but slowly Bernie has gained a lot of support since his announcement……..
The growing momentum surrounding the Bernie Sanders presidential campaign took another step forward over the weekend. In a display of strength, Sanders got 41% of support in the Wisconsin Democratic Party straw poll to 49% for Hillary Clinton.
Of course the media will downplay this rise in support for Bernie by pointing out that straw polls are not a good source of support…….it is only among those in attendance of the straw poll not of a larger population…….
Sorry to crap on the MSM thesis…….Bernie is gaining support everywhere……the more his stands and issues get out there the more people see him as a viable alternative to the inevitability of Clinton……..
Do I think he will win the nomination? No! But he will force Clinton to address subjects that she had rather slough off as a slogan for applause…….she will have to take a position to explain just about everything she has ever done…….
No Bernie will not win…..but the voter will by becoming better informed……..and by becoming a real agent for change…..not just a tag line for a speech.
Sorry to crap on the parade for the MSM and their rush to crown Clinton as the Dem nominee…….Bernie’s rise in popularity can do only good for the people and their search for a new president…….look for issues not promises!
Go Bernie Go!
