Wall Street should be afraid of Bernie, be VERY afraid. Hillary?...not so much. InAbLuEsTaTe Jul 2015 #81

Yeah... kenfrequed Jul 2015 #70

Except these are Republicans here. They don't do subtle. nt stevenleser Jul 2015 #77

Uhm... kenfrequed Jul 2015 #87

This is a rightwing tactic. Don't fall for it. JaneyVee Jul 2015 #5

I'm sure there is some of that going on, but his crossover appeal is genuine and real. arcane1 Jul 2015 #6

No, it isn't. People who are Republicans are the natural enemies of people like Bernie. MADem Jul 2015 #9

You're wrong. While that applies to some republicans, it's not all. arcane1 Jul 2015 #11

Sorry, I know I am not wrong. You might be able to find the occasional oddball outlier to "prove" MADem Jul 2015 #14

How do you explain the signs at Tea Party rallies saying, jalan48 Jul 2015 #38

If they don't like Obama, they're not going to like Sanders, either. MADem Jul 2015 #66

Very true. LOL @ socialist on steroids. jalan48 Jul 2015 #75

On foreign policy and civil liberties, Sanders can have Republican appeal thesquanderer Jul 2015 #39

How? Sanders is in line with those praising this Iran deal, the GOP are furious with MADem Jul 2015 #50

You may be right ... aggiesal Jul 2015 #43

Bernie wants to raise taxes. It doesn't matter if it's a one cent tax per MADem Jul 2015 #48

You seem to be lumping every republican ... aggiesal Jul 2015 #58

Well...you do realize that GOP and Republican are SYNONYMOUS? MADem Jul 2015 #61

Just saw Bernie FB post from otherwise RW nutcase on my FB feed Jackilope Jul 2015 #42

What does this nutcase agree with him on? Iran? Gay marriage? Choice? MADem Jul 2015 #53

With help from our MSM, no doubt. Duval Jul 2015 #37

Not really. The Republican Party platform has nothing in it that Senator Sanders would find MADem Jul 2015 #62

Although I understand your point humbled_opinion Jul 2015 #51

I just don't believe it. It's whistling in the dark. MADem Jul 2015 #60

Maybe... kenfrequed Jul 2015 #71

Democrats and Republicans weren't all that different back in the FDR era. MADem Jul 2015 #73

Eh... kenfrequed Jul 2015 #86

Divisions in that era often did not fall along party lines. MADem Jul 2015 #88

I know a couple who are hard core right wing Mojorabbit Jul 2015 #78

No offense, but I discount anecdotes. MADem Jul 2015 #79

No.. there may be others but not these two Mojorabbit Jul 2015 #80

You really think people who hate Obama for being a 'socialist'... JaneyVee Jul 2015 #16

Republicans are not monolithic. thesquanderer Jul 2015 #41

Yeah, I'm thinking that Bernie has the corporatists shaking in their boots, because IMO PatrickforO Jul 2015 #34

Was the Republicans for Obama Facebook page also bogus? think Jul 2015 #13

Ha ha ha....guess what happened when I went to that page? MADem Jul 2015 #15

Yes. I don't doubt that Dems would "like" such a page. But of course think Jul 2015 #18

I'm sorry, but I do think it's some major astroturf. MADem Jul 2015 #19

Why would a right wing astroturf group started in 2006 still be posting things positive of Obama? think Jul 2015 #20

Well, that HRC page's last post is from 2013. MADem Jul 2015 #72

How about Alabama for Bernie London Lover Man Jul 2015 #24

A few hundred people in a tiny liberal enclave of a very RED state does not a movement make. MADem Jul 2015 #68

Republican lobbyists and operatives love Bernie. They'd love to see him nominated. DanTex Jul 2015 #23

Perhaps the attacks aren't from the left, but from the right London Lover Man Jul 2015 #25

Of course they're from the right, but they pretend they are from the left. DanTex Jul 2015 #27
