(64,292 posts)the corporate media gave Ralph much more coverage, why is that?
Bernie is running within the Democratic Party and that's a major difference, if Bernie were to lose in the primary, his campaign dollars would most likely go to the DNC or perhaps Hillary's campaign, that's seems like a mighty big gamble for Republicans to put their dollars on a such perceived long shot at winning the primaries.
Having said that, I wouldn't be surprised if Bernie's message of income disparity, too many intricate ties between Wall Street and D.C. and unlimited dollars corrupting our government has persuaded some Republicans, not to mention Independents to back him.
We've always asked ourselves over and over why do Republicans vote against their own best interests? Bernie's crystal clear message addresses that like no other candidate has in recent memory.
