He's doing better than Hillary in the matchups against the Republicans, as he draws not only the Democrat base but also alot of independents and working class people to vote for him based on his integrity, consistency and track record of fighting for the little man for 40 years.

I do think this election is about anti-establishment and not status quo.

The best way for Bernie to ward off voter concerns about his age/health is to release his medical records.
Clinton released hers months ago.

Bernie gets his donations from individuals, Hillary gets hers from super PACs and corporations.

Her ads will have as much effect on Bernie supporters as facts do on blue pilled Hillary supporters, and that's bad news for Monsanto.

So does Trump.

I like Bernie a lot, agree with him on many issues, and will vote for him if he's the nominee. I'm not concerned about his age but a lot of voters are. He needs to release his medical records.
Still waiting for PCALMike to provide proof of the so-called "attack" ads. If he doesn't, this is a troll thread.

This is what Karl Rove against Hillary. Questioning her health and blood cloth.

It's the Clinton Super-PAC "correct the record" that is about to launch this, according to this:

Quote:
Brock, a Democratic source said, is expected to combine the health hit with more questions about the Vermont Senator's failure to release details for how he’d pay for his universal healthcare plan — creating a two-front assault meant to drive home the point that voters need more information before Feb. 1.
Clinton surrogate to demand Sanders release medical records - POLITICO

We need to keep thing civil and talk about the issues. I think this attack will backfire. The influence of money in our democracy is what's unhealthy. Not Sanders. Trump is his own special interest as a billionaire with decades of experience of bribing politicians. I have never heard him advocating for public funding of elections.

Please point me to where that article that talks about her "Super-Pac spend[ing] tons of ad money against Sanders: Too old".

Because all I see in it is a Clinton surrogate insisting Sanders release his health records. Nothing about tons of money or Bernie's age. It does point out that voters have raised the age issue, though.

Physical fitness is not on my short or long list of desirable candidate qualifications. You're the one who raised that issue in this thread. Since it's important to you, why would you object to his releasing his records? Seems like you'd want to see them.

" Clinton Super-PAC spend tons of ad money in Iowa against Sanders: Too old "

That's politics for you. Do Iowa democrats vote for their more religious candidate like the republicans do? If so, do these ads really matter?

Actually on Fox News Sunday this morning, Karl Rove, pretty much said that once the race leaves Iowa & New Hampshire and heads South that Bernie is in a lot of trouble. That Bernie's support is primarily among the most liberal of Democrats and there are not enough of these kinds of Democrats to make a difference.

Wow, he doesnt use makeup, no fancy suits, dam.. I'm going to change and vote for Sanders now.. You've convinced me..

Seriously, i dont know anyone who votes for someone based upon such ridiculous reasons. I hate the guys policies, they are beyond ridiculous and dont make any sense.

btw OP. wasnt that the same argument the left made against McCain..
