One thing is for sure, Trump is afraid of Bernie, not so much of Hillary.

92. You have no business telling anyone what "logic dictates"

You assume your conclusion, and you ignore any argument contrary to that conclusion. You shun logic entirely except when you think you can frame it in a way that supports your candidate.

If Trump were to attack Bernie it would strengthen him and Trump knows it.

Seriously? What world do you live in where that's true or makes sense?

Record breaking crowds and numbers of contributions aren't propaganda, that's fact.

Here's why it's propaganda: the record breaking "numbers of contributions" is less significant, in real terms, than the aggregate dollar amount of contributions, and by repeatedly citing the record breaking "numbers of contributions," you hope that people will overlook this fact. It's lovely that he has so many contributions, and if this were the 2008 campaign at the tail end of eight years of a hated presidency and during a profound and long-term recession, then that might be enough, assuming that Sanders also has the support network to overcome Clinton and the GOP candidate. But this is not 2008, Sanders is not campaigning in the wake of the Bush nightmare, and he doesn't have Obama's network. Unless you account for all of that, then you are propagandizing, even if the claim itself is literally true.

And it's not just Jeb Bush, Rubio, Cruz and Carson have gotten more coverage than Bernie.

Irrelevant. Carson was running in close competition with Trump for several weeks, and he kept spouting such crazy nonsense that the media loved to put him on the air. Cruz is a serious contender for the ballot, so it makes sense that he be given air time. Bush is a legacy candidate, so he gets an automatic in. Rubio has been an up-and-comer for several years, and he's also perceived as offering the GOP an advantage among Hispanic voters.

In terms of click-bait media appeal, Sanders does not compare to any of those candidates. I'm sorry, but that's the truth.

You provided an argument to support my claim, the people in your workplace couldn't identify Bernie because the corporate media have tried their best to black out coverage of him and his message out.

That's not an argument in support of your claim, because your claim is that the media is afraid of Sanders, and I have pointed out repeatedly why that claim is nonsense.

Again and again--even on DU's front page this evening--Sanders supporters play the fear card, as if they truly have nothing else to offer. That's sad, and it suggests how they feel about their candidate's viability. As I noted before, it also serves as a preemptive strategy to rationalize his eventual defeat.


I'm done with you here. You're posting madness and claiming that it's logic, and it's a waste of my time to respond to nonsense with rational argument.
