(31,849 posts)I can only imagine what is going on in Camp Bernie: Command ...
Bernie (and/or his advisors): "I've got to strike a note with the AA crowd ... what to do? ... They'll just love me if they got to know me!"
Bernie's more enthusiastic supporters: "Yeah they will! You don't have a AA Crowd problem ... they just don't know you!"
AA Crowd: "Speak to the issues that resonate with us in venues where we are."

Bernie (and/or his advisors): "Nothing? I know ... I'll get the Black guy that is at the center of Black Thought, Cornell West, to introduce me in S.C.."
Bernie's more enthusiastic supporters: "Yeah they will! You don't have a AA Crowd problem ... they are just too stupid to discern their own interest ... good thing we are here to tell them!"
AA Crowd: "West is so 2008 and while stay a star in the white liberal cocktail circuit ... the center of Black Thought? ... not so much. And oh yeah, you could speak to the issues that resonate with us in venues where we are. And tell your more 'enthusiastic' supporters to tone it down."

Bernie (and/or his advisors): Nothing? ... I know ... I'll have article run in Essence and Ebony!"
Bernie's more enthusiastic supporters: "You don't have a AA Crowd problem ... they are suffering with Stockholm Syndrome or something!"
AA Crowd: "Or, you could speak to the issues that resonate with us in venues where we are ... And, tell your more 'enthusiastic' supporters to calm the F' down."
Bernie (and/or his advisors): "Nothing? ..."
Bernie's more enthusiastic supporters: "Why is the AA Crowd so mean to us?"
AA Crowd: "Keep doing what you are doing Bernie ... 'We're really feel the burn!'."
