Bernie Sanders Responds to Possible Joe Biden Run

[sabrina 1]

14. What people don't get is that most of Bernie's support is going to come from Independents

and that huge non-voting bloc, many already signing up for Bernie's campaign feeling that maybe they have finally found someone who makes it worth while to get involved again.

Also the young, Bernie has an overwhelming amount of support from young people.

The reasons should be obvious.

A lot of Hillary's support comes from only the base of the Dem Party, some because they want a woman (I spoke to someone recently who has found out about Bernie eg, she loves him 'but I have always wanted a woman in the WH'. I told her I did too, but not a woman who is so closely tied to Wall St, who supports all the neocon wars, who had to evolve on so many important issues and has been wrong so often about those issues.

Biden and Hillary are status quo candidates. The country is angry at the status quo.

Bernie is already attracting moderate Repubs, left leaning Libertarians fed up and feeling they were scammed by Rand Paul eg.

So yes, if Biden runs the competition for votes will be only for the remaining base of the Dem Party and Bernie is already making inroads even there. That comprises only 32% of registered voters. Bernie already has about 20% of that small portion of the electorate and will gain more as more learn about him.

But no one can win even with ALL of their base, which won't happen. They must have crossover appeal, Bernie has that, status quo politicians do not.

I do hope Biden runs. It will be Bernie's gain.
