Morning Joe: Tells The Truth About The Bernie Sanders Revolution - IURL



Can there be any truth in Corporate Media about the Bernie Sanders Campaign?

Well, let's hope the Team at MSNBC's Morning Joe still have their jobs tomorrow, as in this 20 minute segment, the panel dishes tea on the DNC, the Corporate Democrats Quest to Suppress Socialist Democrat Bernie Sanders, how the Party has worked to upheaval Sanders Campaign since the beginning and much more.

This is a MUCH WATCH video as this much truth telling may never be seen in corporate media, again.

A lot of Republicans wanted Bernie to win because they think he's easily beatable in the general election.
One of Karl Rove's groups and a group called America Rising are both engaged in dividing the Democrats right now and had been strategizing for a few years. They registered as Democrats, voted for Sanders in open primaries etc.


I imagine they will continue bringing up how poor Bernie was treated so they can continue to hopefully keep Democrats from voting intelligently and just out of emotion. I don't think it'll work.

Bernie's supporters shtick has gotten old already and Trump's shtick has gotten old already and we haven't really even begun to focus on the general election.

They have to carry on for 5 months and in all honesty Trump has the personality of cardboard .
I don't think he's going to last. He seems exciting now but so did reality TV when it started.

58. Right.
Wed May 18, 2016, 12:57 PM
May 2016

Everyone is lying except Sanders supporters.






"For months now, America Rising has sent out a steady stream of posts on social media attacking Mrs. Clinton, some of them specifically designed to be spotted, and shared, by liberals. The posts highlight critiques of her connections to Wall Street and the Clinton Foundation and feature images of Democrats like Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts and Mayor Bill de Blasio of New York, interspersed with cartoon characters and pictures of Kevin Spacey, who plays the villain in “House of Cards.” And as they are read and shared, an anti-Clinton narrative is reinforced.

America Rising is not the only conservative group attacking Mrs. Clinton from the left. Another is American Crossroads, the group started by Karl Rove, which has been sending out its own digital content, including one ad using a speech Ms. Warren gave at the New Populism Conference in Washington last May.

“Powerful interests have tried to capture Washington and rig the system in their favor,” intones Ms. Warren, as images of Mrs. Clinton with foreign leaders flash by.

Wed May 18, 2016, 12:39 PM

not one, shows that. There is no poll you can cite, going back months, where she polls better than Sanders versus Trump. She is the most unliked candidate in her party's history (second most all time in either party, luckily running against the most unpopular), not trusted, polls worse with independents and polls much worse versus Trump. What you are saying is in opposition to reality.

So Bernie might want to consider the advice that Morning Joe dished out, say goodbye to the Party that does not want him and run as a Independent. Considering at least 70% of his followers will follow him, what does that mean for HER.

If I was on the HER team, I would take caution on how Bernie Sanders and his supporters are treated. Fairness is a venue the DNC has YET to show a ounce of.

stated in an interview with CBS that he would never run as the spoiler candidate, that he would never do that because he knew how important it was to beat Trump in the general election. Said he would never want to divide the party.

If he runs as an Independent his word mean nothing. He proves again he lacks integrity.

Just for appetizers...

Berne stated, "She has been saying, lately, that she thinks that I am quote-unquote “not qualified to be president.” Lie.

Said Hillary isn't qualified to be president. Lie.

His campaign is built on the lie that only those who take no money from people who work on Wall Street or special interest groups can work toward progressive causes.

A couple of months ago Sanders and his supporters denounced the entire idea of super delegates as undemocratic and immoral.

Now that super delegates are the only possible path to the nomination it's a great strategy!


Yeah, such integrity!

I hope not much longer, because there is a sizable portion of what used to be and could be Democratic supporters who are all fired up for Bernie. I am one of them. I would follow him anywhere, and the current Democratic Establishment and Hillary Clinton, meh, not so much.

Why, because I know they will stab me in the back every time, or at least they have since they got panicked by the days of Reagan.

Wise up, stand up, rise up Democratic Party! Get a grip on yourself. I have never been a big fan of fear, particularly in the face of bullies like the Republican Party (or the Democratic Establishment for that matter), and I'm sure not going to start now.
