105. I think Bernie is the only one they can get to right now.

Hillary isn't going around the country having rallies that give BLM or other activists, the opportunity to do their thing. Bernie is the only guy they have to play with.

And the GOP, of course, won't let them within a mile of any rally. Plus what's the point of disrupting them? Political theater? We all know they aren't sympathetic to #BlackLivesMatter.

But with Bernie at least, positive things are happening. Clearly he listens, clearly he takes it seriously, and clearly he's got a response and a plan. Bernie is dragging the conversation left, and BLM people are dragging racial justice into the mix. Its all good, as far as I'm concerned.

Classic KKKarl Rove tactic it seems but I don't see Dicky Cheney's Cleita Aug 2015 #1

His tactics seem different to me. merrily Aug 2015 #3

It's attacking him on his strengths to make it look like a weakness. That's KKKarl's M/O Cleita Aug 2015 #7

I think that's a tactic that goes back centuries. I could be wrong. merrily Aug 2015 #10
