He can do it in a polite way, his own way, like the gentleman he is. He just has to say, "You can trust be to keep trying, to never give up," and on the other things needed--using the "bully pulpit," appealing to the People (not the media, not the rightwing), getting people mobilized in every way possible.

He did say some of these things today to the students at the U.of Chicago (Chris Matthews interview). One of them that struck me was, he said (Matthews was asking, how would you get it done? tuition free public college), and Bernie said, "No, I wouldn't sit down with Mitch McConnell. I would get a million students outside his window demanding it."

A very great answer!

Anyway, you are so right! That IS the issue--trust--and he needs to use it. It is a great strength of his.

I wish he would take her to task on it too. It could make quite a lot of difference in the campaign. CaliforniaPeggy Feb 2016 #1
