Go Bernie! Sanders for President for sure! He nailed it. Ate Chuck Todd for brunch!

And Chuck Todd could not even handle him. Bernie did call out the anger on both sides and included the media in the public's displeasure. He ate Chuck Todd for Brunch!

This should be reviewed at this exciting time. This is just a taste of how well he can handle the media, and not take the bait to 'go negative', as Chuck tried in vain, to get him to do!

Go Bernie!!!! YEA!

1. Bernie is amazing! But, I wonder if the press will have him on now

or ignore him.

[TheNutcracker]

3. Keep kicking for Bernie, and they cannot ignore him. Too many Americans LIKE him!

[bvf]

39. If Bernie can develop

anything even approaching the grassroots support Obama had, he'll have a great chance.

People need to hear his message.

Go, Bernie!

[TheNutcracker]

2. He will not be ignored. He's too good at this and HAS the support!

[Robbins]

4. he can even go in enemy terroity

he went on fox news and fox news sunday and they couldn't handle him.

That can say to some hey he will go to places not friendly towards him.

[bvar22]

30. When a person is speaking from their heart instead of a teleprompter,

nobody can "handle" them. That person will remain consistent and dependable.
The heart doesn't tell campaign LIES just to get elected.

[arcane1]

32. Exactly! That's what the Truth sounds like!

[Bonobo]

36. THAT!!!! That is it 100%. nt

[Volaris]

41. And it's not just rethorical

He can go stand on the tops of the coal-company destroyed mountains in West Virgina (where theres no clean water left to drink) and tell the people who live there, 'Yeah, you actually DON'T have to live this way, there are alternatives that allow a better life for you and your kids."
Those people normally vote GOP, and they do so because they get told that they should be good little capitalist-christians and just accept their suffering, (you know, like White Jesus did) and LATER is when you get to have happiness and vindication.

If we do what Dr Dean SAID we should be doing (and proved works) we can win everywhere. Maybe not everywhere all the time, but the 50-state strategy turns a lot of red places purple=)

[bvar22]

48. That is certainly a better Winning Strategy ...

...than just abandoning over 1/2 the country to the Republicans.

[djean111]

5. Ha! Chuck really tried to stir shit, didn't he? Bernie KNOWS how he feels, he doesn't hesitate.

Anyone who thinks Bernie cannot handle a national campaign, and the media, is just indulging themselves with wishful thinking.

[Chipper Chat]

43. He tried his best to get Bernie to diss Hillary.

Bernie just went "ahnt-aenth Chuckie st0p right thar"

[Ed Suspicious]

6. Gravitas. Bernie has it. Toad is a disgusting human being and a poor, corrupt journalist.

[Volaris]

42. Here what gives me hope though,

if Bernie keeps doing what he's doing (staying positive) eventually, do you think the media will get tired of getting the same responses to the same questions, and then start actually asking real questions about real issues? You would think it would have to happen EVENTUALLY..

"OK, Bernie did really iwell in Iowa, (so we HAVE to have him on) but if we ask him about Hillary again, we KNOW we'll get the same answer we got last time, so what can we ask instead. Shit, I guess we had better get some issue questions ready.."

Agree, or not?

[notadmblnd]

7. He knows exactly what game the right wing media is playing

and he's too astute to take the bait.

[rhett o rick]

8. It's easy to handle the press if you are honest and have no hidden agendas.

Just sayin. Go BERNIE

[Pooka Fey]

9. Excellent video & so worth 5 minutes of time!

I LOVE how Bernie refuses to be sidetracked from his message! All the journalist wanted to do was talk about Hillary, talk about Obama, talk about Republicans! More 'politics of personality' crap so nothing can be addressed and changed.

BERNIE wants to talk about the disappearing middle class, about threats to our social security and medicare, about stagnating wages.

Bernie is an oasis in the desert.

[TheNutcracker]

10. Indeed! This is a mirror of what's to come. He WILL NOT LET US DOWN! EVER!

[appalachiablue]

19. +10 Bernie knows what he's doing with the press & what is happening to America's middle class.

He's right, and I look forward to more people hearing and seeing him speak out on the issues-
'America's Senator' is the truth!

[BlancheSplanchnik]

11. saving for later!

[libodem]

12. He is articulate

I'm impressed with the straight forward clarity.

I ♡ Bernie.

[Duval]

13. He refuses to take

the numerous baits from Todd to go negative! I like his stance on issues and his clarity in expressing them. He would make a very good President! Wonder if Hillary would accept a VP position, although I'd rather see Bernie Sanders team with Elizabeth Warren.

Thanks for the video, theNutcracker!

[emulatorloo]

14. He says what he means and he says it clearly. AFAIK he can handle anybody, especially the "Pundits"

[bbgrunt]

15. Not only can he handle the media, he seems graced with enormous

energy and good will.....a rare human indeed!

[TheNutcracker]

16. Exactly, in my lifetime I have not had such a candidate to vote for, ever.

this is the first, I will RUN to the polls with BELLS on!!!

[Duppers]

31. Made my donation today

And plan to make make more.

Excellent video!!

❤ Bernie!

[raindaddy]

17. Bernie speaks the truth with conviction...

And it's refreshing as hell!

[olegramps]

20. He nailed it including the press.

He exposed Chucky Toad as a shallow stupid corporate boot licker. Toad is a prime example of just how derelict the press has become in their duty to provide the citizens with objective non-bias reporting. What is especially appalling is his smugness in that he actually imagines that he is an exceptional being and is unable to grasp that he was chosen for the position expressly because he is inferior example of the human species who can be manipulated at will by his corporate masters.

[arcane1]

21. Kicking for later viewing!

[NYC_SKP]

22. He's like a Honey Badger.

If you know what I mean!

[zeemike]

23. He stayed on message and did not take the bait.

He is so much smarter that Chucky Toad.

But Chucky ended it with "stay safe on the trail"...kind of a chilling remark as if he was warning that some harm may come to him...or is it just me?

[Oilwellian]

27. I caught that as well

Chucky Toad being creepy as always. Sanders handled him well. I doubt he'll be invited back any time soon. Americans can't hear the truth.

[Populist_Prole]

24. I love it! He stayed on message; one that the MSM does NOT want to hear

He wouldn't have any of the shallow BS "horse race" aspect of news coverage that turns so many people into uninformed dunderheads.

He'll resonate well....and it''' piss them off!

[jalan48]

25. How would Bernie fare with the National Security State? The powers behind the scene.

[colsohlibgal]

26. Bernie Is Truth

There are numerous examples of Obama and Hillary and Bill saying one thing and really doing something different. Lots of smokescreen and shading and some outright falsehoods.

Bernie is the real deal, for the 99% 100% of the time. Exposing the plutocrats in both parties.

You won't see him taking a couple hundred thousand for speeches at Goldman Sachs so he is not beholden to them like some others who we all know.

[lovemydog]

28. Excellent.

Thank you TheNutcracker!

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

29. Love it

He didn't fall for any of the traps or gotcha questions Chinless Todd was laying out.

[Beartracks]

33. Now THAT is some FRESH AIR! OMG, he actually answered questions!

It was weird: Chuck Todd was asking the usual ho-hum sorts of MSM questions, yet in response Bernie Sanders was making the kind of direct policy and political philosophy statements you wish other politicians would offer!!

I'm thinking I'd vote for Hillary if I have to, but I'd vote for Bernie because I WANT to.

=========================

[fadedrose]

34. I think he makes a good guest

that TV hosts and anchors love to have on - mostly because he actually answers the questions and doesn't go into a campaign spiel. He goes into what's wrong and how to fix.

I doubt anyone could catch him in a lie because he doesn't need to tell them any.

[Bonobo]

35. He's no Kucinich and he's way tougher than a Harry Reid. nt

[Joe the Revelator]

37. This guy excites me....

I'm looking forward to seeing how this plays out.

[NBachers]

38. The Fierce Truth of Bernie Sanders

[sabrina 1]

40. Love he won't take their bait. He sticks to the issues, and poor Chuck was nearly

speechless when he realized he wasn't going to lead him to where he wanted to take him.

Love that he told him, truthfully, that the people are also mad at the media.

I wonder how much time they will give him.

He acts like an ADULT. No script, no handlers telling him to avoid certain questions, just straight talk.

AND he knows a very inportant fact, 'more people are registering as Independents today than ever before'.

He's exactly right. He's done his homework, and that is a vote I think he can get.

[Sunlei]

44. oh my, Sen. Sanders is excellent on the 'news show! We need several more Ds to 'run for president' &

set the stage for news interviews.

[Suji to Seoul]

45. Good job standing up to Fuckie Toad! I love this man!

[66 dmhlt]

46. For the record: Chucky Todd is a Repubican Toady, always pushing GOP Talking Points

[calimary]

47. About time SOMEBODY ate chuck todd for lunch.

My husband still refers to him as "fuck turd." Still fits. I call him Mr. Lazy Biased "Journalism" Malpractice.

[Marr]

49. I really think he's going to surprise the political establishment.

He's not engaging their calcified, old focus group-tested scrimmage lines at all. There's no coded language there, no vapid talking points, and the only 'identity politics' he's addressing is, 'are you a billionaire or do you work for a living?'.

[TheNutcracker]

50. Kick!

[MissDeeds]

51. That was amazing

Calm, unflappable, and spot on.

Huge K&R

[grntuscarora]

52. Woot!

Bernie is the real deal, for sure!
