It was great to visit rural Wisconsin.

Urban America or rural America, red state or blue state, Americans understand that health care is a human right, that working families need affordable housing and that we must stop authoritarianism from taking hold.

3. Bernie Sanders is a truly great American. I love his no nonsense approach, and unwavering honesty.

If politicians in general were like him, this nation would actually be the great nation the Republicans would have you believe only they can deliver.
The difference is that Bernie wants to make America great for everyone, while the Republicans want to do that only for those who are able to enrich them.
Bernie's for the people.
Republicans are for money, power, and control.

4. "unwavering honesty" is the thing that makes him a saint in today's political climate.

It hasn't changed since he arrived on the national scene.

5. He speaks to my soul.

6. So republicans are going to Bernie's rallies

maybe we should be supporting his ideas more than we are, the GQP is far far far right.
Should we fight them with middle of the road ideas, or far left like Bernie's?

7. Maybe he should convince his own state to vote

for far left governor instead of a Republican first.

8. Are they Republicans?

None of the people who spoke on camera identified themselves with any party.

[KS Toronado]

10. I re-watched it, you are correct

they all could have been Bernie's fans, my mistake.

12. Kinda sneaky of the videographer

to say it's right-wing country, but not identify the speakers.

...all the people in the video said the right thing but I'll lay you even money they'd vote for trump again...
