In reply to the discussion: Turning Democrats from Hillary to Bernie. [View all]KoKo
(84,711 posts)4. Thank you for sharing this....
I'm a fan of Dennis Kucinich but he could get sidetracked. As we know, MSM's job is to sidetrack a candidate...to bring up and throw a candidate off guard with a "Gotcha" moment. Bernie won't allow that. He knows his issues and he's had years of practice in his appearances on Thom's "Breakfast with Bernie" segments and his political experience in Vermont Govt. and the Senate. He's no push over for a "Gotcha" and and doesn't suffer fools gladly.
This:
Anti-Bernie point #3. He has that Dennis Kucinich factor.
I quoted Thom Hartmann on this. Thom said that the difference between Dennis and Bernie is that when reporters asked Dennis Kucinich if he believed in UFOs, Dennis said, yes. Bernie would say that the people aren't interested in his opinion of UFOs. They are interested in their jobs, in Social Security, putting food on the table and educating their kids, so ask him questions about those things.
