Why Bernie Sanders just picked up a historical endorsement from Occupy Wall St

[JDPriestly]

70. Right-wing newspapers will bash Hillary no matter what.

Sanders is sticking to the issues and trying to avoid personal attacks.

The press will twist every word he says. The press will twist every word Hillary says.

But Hillary or at least Hillary's aides know that Sanders' entry into the race is not about Hillary but about his intention to make sure that America's prosperity is shared fairly with the middle class working people who create it.

This is not a fight between Hillary and Sanders. This is a fight between the oligarchs and Sanders.

Let Hillary get her policy stands on issues like TPP and the XL pipelines, on breaking up the big banks, on police brutality, on race, on the quality of our food, on fair practices in our economic system (like truth in advertising, testing of chemicals and drugs), on women's and children's and family's issues such as education, cost of higher education, childcare, health, etc.

Let hers be compared to Bernie's and let the best ideas and the best candidate win.

The media will try to make this about two personalities. That's fun. But that is not what Bernie is about. He is about making America a better place for the 99%. We need Bernie.

I think you will find when all is said and done that Hillary doesn't know where she stands on a lot of issues and Bernie does. Hillary is waiting to see which way the wind blows on the TPP, hoping that program which was negotiated in part while she was secretary of state, will pass so that she won't have to take a serious stand on it. That's the kind of cowardly, back-handed way she will handle unpopular poliices.

Bernie on the other hand is openly and vocally anti-TPP.

We are going to see that scenario repeated over and over. Bernie will take a strong stance on an issue that is consistent with his very clear values, and then Hillary will take a stance her advisers tell her is safe and will sell.

Let the press do what it will. Bernie Sanders has won many an election in which his opponent was well funded. Bernie is the real deal. He talks about what he thinks, not what some well paid advisers tell him the public wants to hear. How refreshing!!!
