In reply to the discussion: Stiglitz and Sanders under the bus. [View all]sabrina 1
(62,325 posts)15. Lots of former Liberal heroes are under buses for a few here. But for most, that is not the case.
Sometimes people just ignore them, because anyone who would throw good Democrats away because they speak the truth, isn't worth worrying about, imo.
If we were to make a list, to those few it would include almost every, single respected journalist, Democrat, most of the base, and whenever I have asked for recommendations as to who CAN we trust, I get no answer.
Bernie is doing far better than anyone anticipated, even those who asked him to enter the race.
Those who don't support him thought it would easy to dismiss him.
That isn't happening so they are feeling threatened.
I take that as a good sign for Bernie. No one is going to after someone who is insignificant.
