Bernie hitting out of the park

On CNN. Jake tried to shift to Hillary and Claire but Bernie kept on his message and did not take the bait. Put out his message and answered every question put to him and did not change the subject. Let's hear Hillary do that.

Feel the Bern!!

Another poster was calling attention to this without the context so thanks. Hopefully there will be something on YouTube later on for those of us without TV service.

Bernie gets way more air time than Hillary.

As she was the presumptive nominee. Bernie grants interviews when the press requests it. Does not happen very often though. Maybe more now as he is climbing in the polls. Hillary generally does not grant press interviews and goes so far as to use a rope to keep them away. The optics of that are so bad.

Where am I? The MSM is trying to dismantle Hillary so Republicans march into the WhiteHouse.

Is doing, flood them and do not let them frame the debate. Yes her optics are bad and it will just make it even harder to get any favorable press coverage.

interviews with candidates. He won't take their bait, insists on steering them, though they are resistant, towards what the people want him to talk about.

And now I see Republicans are imitating him! Lol! Two of them when asked about other Candidates the other day told the interviewer, using Bernie's words almost exactly: 'I'm not here to talk about (fill in the blank) you will have to ask him that question'.

I loved it! They are all learning from Bernie ... maybe we actually can get some decent discussion if he just keeps on teaching the phony journalists their jobs.
