Kudos to Bernie for surviving this interview by Andrea Mitchell.

32. Horseshit!

This is a primary. I don't know how old you are but I have been around for quite a few.

It does not matter who the 'front runner' is this far out.

Bill Bradley was the front-runner in the Dem primary in 1992. And Bill Clinton was further behind in the polls at this time and he won. Was Clinton constantly asked in media interviews about comparisons between him and Bradley? No.

In 2008, HRC was the front-runner and the sure bet as well for the Dem primary until that upstart Obama beat her. Was Obama asked in every fucking interview how he compared to HRC? No.

So your post is just that - horseshit.

No one has a problem if an interviewer actually asked questions about Sanders 'Jewness'. Is he a practicing religious Jew? Is he a cultural Jew? Does it influence his world view? Hell, those would be questions to ask for someone without a high name recognition.

But that was not what NPR's Rehm did. She stated (but did not ask!) that Sanders was a dual citizen of Israel. She saw it on a list. Who else is on that list? blah blah blah.

To pretend these two are at all alike is yet again....horseshit!
