Nominate him, please. -- nm - Strongbad Aug 10, 04:46 32

- He's the Ron Paul of the left. He'll draw big crowds and have fervent supporters but won't win. -- nm - iSpam Aug 10, 05:20 28

        People hear him called a socialist and see his wild hair and call him crazy. He's the most rational of the candidates and has the best understanding - Krusty Aug 10, 06:13
  - Pretty sure they said that about someone else seven years ago. -- nm - Krusty Aug 10, 05:59 23
    - This is not 2008. At this time in '07, Obama was only 10 behind Hillary national, and could fundraise a ton. Sanders is neither of those two things. -- nm - MDH Aug 10, 06:11
    - Yeah, Ron Paul. - Will Hunting Aug 10, 06:03 21
      - It's not a minority ideology. Polling shows people agree more with Bernie than the others on many issues. He's not speaking about crazy ideas like Ron - Krusty Aug 10, 06:11 19
        
        He is a self-identified democratic socialist. We are not a democratic socialist nation. - Will Hunting Aug 10, 06:16 6
        
        Ding ding ding. See below re: my comment on GOP views of him. -- nm - MDH Aug 10, 06:22
        
        So what?!? What he says is resonating with voters. They don't care what he identifies as, they like what he's saying. His crowds grow bigger every day -- nm - Krusty Aug 10, 06:18 3
        
        Well, if we're not (openly)....then it's by default a minority opinion. - Will Hunting Aug 10, 06:23
        
        I think it's great that he's drawing crowds and providing a semblance of competition for Hillary on the left. - ML Aug 10, 06:22
        
        It's resonating white ultra liberal, whites. He has no traction anywhere else. -- nm - MDH Aug 10, 06:22

        You do realize that him being the Dem nominee would be as if Trump/Cruz/Huckabee/Santorum formed a super nominee from a persepctive. -- nm - MDH Aug 10, 06:12 11

        I really don't and you're very wrong. Bernie is a smart man with great ideas for this country. Those guys are clowns. Comparing them is offensive. -- nm - Krusty Aug 10, 06:13 9
        
        It's as if you haven't heard a word Bernie has said or know anything about what he's done as senator. To lump him in with those guys is very wrong. -- nm - Krusty Aug 10, 06:15 2
        
        It doesn't matter how smart he is, it's about perception. The GOP views of him would destroy any chance he has of winning. -- nm - MDH Aug 10, 06:17 1
        
        The only perception that matters is the people and every day they like him more. I don't know if he can beat Hillary but he is making a lot of noise - Krusty Aug 10, 06:21
        
        I'm trying to make the point that Bernie is viewed by the GOP the same way Dems view a merge of those insane GOP candidates. That is 100% accurate. -- nm - MDH Aug 10, 06:15 5
        
        That's not what you said and it's still wrong. He's a well respected senator and those guys are known to be wrong quite often. -- nm - Krusty Aug 10, 06:17 4
        
        Krusty, I like you, but this is where you need to step back and talk to a Republican. -- nm - MDH Aug 10, 06:17 3
        
        He is the DREAM candidate for the GOP, even more so than Warren. -- nm - MDH Aug 10, 06:18 2
        
        They'll lose to Bernie and I'll be here laughing. -- nm - Krusty Aug 10, 06:20 1
        
        Oh Krusty. -- nm - MDH Aug 10, 06:21
      - I agree with your IM. -- nm - ML Aug 10, 06:04
- His supporters are delusional in understanding this. He gets crushed like Trump does. -- nm - MDH Aug 10, 04:49 1
  - I've heard this before. -- nm - Krusty Aug 10, 05:59
28,000 people if you count those turned away at the door (which apparently they do). Here's the speech. -- (link) - Mop Aug 9, 23:42 [youtube] 1
- It's record shattering. They broke the record just the day before in Seattle and that was 15,000 (12,000 + 3,000). -- nm - Mop Aug 9, 23:46
