The Secret of Bernie Sanders' Success

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by TexasTowelie (a host of the General Discussion forum).

I think Bernie Sanders is making all the other candidates of both parties look quite anemic. And, it is all from telling the truth about the things that matter to the American public. He does not have to go negative toward his opponents. By taking money from the billionaires they are negating themselves in the eyes of the American people, as beholden to the billionaire class.

Clinton recites tested and practiced talking points. Bernie seems to speak about what he truly believes, he seems more genuine.

A couple more months of battling these email stories and weekly releases of "new" details and Hillary's honesty ratings could dip below 40%, that's going to be trouble for her.

DNC is hoping for something to happen between now and then they can use against him. Go ahead and F the people out of a transparent, fair primary but time will pass and October will come.

Bernie has become the rock star of the 2016 Presidential election season. The other candidates need to debate him to gain access to the audience that has already gathered to hear Bernie!

because it's not about him beating other 'personalities'. It's about him discussing what's actually happening to the people who are going to vote.

what a concept
