Van Johnson GREAT SUGGESTIONS for Bernie right now. [View all]

On CNN tonight, Van Johnson suggests the following for Bernie to target specific voters he needs right now:

Lose the stump speech immediately. It is stale and everyone has heard it way too many times.

Instead, speak from the heart about his Civil Rights Era experiences, and his immigrant background, and about people he has met on the campaign and their stories.

The stump speech is now hurting him. Give people something to relate to!!
