Bernie Sanders continues to draw huge crowds. Why aren't the Democrats and MSM talking about him non-stop. Instead we continue to be force fed the daily excesses of King Hillary who continues to play to very small crowds in 1/2 empty rooms. We get to hear tirades of King Hillary's squawking false outrage over guns, yet nothing at all about what Bernie had to say to this huge crowd.

20,000 people came to see Bernie Sanders in Boston. Why aren’t we talking more about it? - The Washington Post

Bernie Sanders Rally this weekend. 2X the number that Obama drew at same even 8 years ago.




Compare this to Hillary Clinton this weekend. The camera person cleverly didn't photograph the empty chairs.



1. Hillary Clinton has not attempted to have such crowds. You are comparing 2 things that arent comparable.

2. Sen. Sanders does not lead Hillary Clinton in a single national poll, in fact, in most states, he is in single digits.

He IS winning over the hearts and souls of the party though, and as a Republican, it's delicious to watch.

You define winning as being behind 30 points in most states ?????

The word "freedom" is not mentioned "many times," but it is used in the U.S. Constitution only ONCE, in the First Amendment, when it says "freedom of speech, or of the press."

The Constitution says nothing, neither specifically nor implied, about capitalism.

He's drawing massive crowds and has a big lead in New Hampshire now (he's closing in on Iowa).

Bernie is the DNC's Donald Trump. They have to take him down or face irreparable damage to the party's image.

Hillary Clinton’s support among blacks plunges in a new poll - The Washington Post

I spent a week in Maine last month, saw a lot of "Bernie" stickers on cars, there was an article in the local paper for a meeting of Sanders campaign volunteers, there was also a televised rally in N.H. Sanders is getting an overwheming amount of support in areas where he is well known, Hillary will only win states where most democrats never heard of Sanders. Bernie will get the youth vote much in the same way Obama did and they will hear about him through facebook likes and tweets, not the controlled media.

That's one possible interpretation. Another is that we're a representative democracy, and if the majority decide they prefer a different economic system, then that's what we'll have. As is the case in reality, we have a mixed system: A relatively free-market, with some regulations and taxes.

The argument of the OP and yourself was that he is the front runner. being ahead in 1 out of 50 states does not make you a front runner.

whether you believe he is the DNC's Trump is an opinion you are free to have.

And I'm not arguing that we have a mixed system, we certainly do, but Bernie Sanders isn't advocating a mixed system.
