(1,166 posts)then the other candidates have big problems in this regard as well. Nobody is campaigning the way Bernie Sanders is campaigning. He doesn't have the luxury of taking days off, doing a rally here and there, etc. One of the other two candidates has non-stop coverage on every corporate owned media channel in the US and the other one has the whole Democratic political establishment working overtime for her. People making a deal out of this are being incredibly small minded and even disingenuous - how many in this group, no matter what their age, could have easily found themselves nodding off sitting through a long ceremony in the sun? Hell, many 20 year olds can't even make it through a class without nodding off. How many Americans consider Memorial Day anything other than a day to go have a picnic or a swim in the lake, anyway?

(3,335 posts)or that he's at the rally site 8 hours in advance like his 'supporters'. I've watched many of his rallies on TV which is why I know his stump speech by heart, and he shows up just prior to his going on stage, because the media usually shows his arrival at the rally. He then speaks for about an hour, shakes a few hands and then he's off.
I watch him again at one of his California rallies, and as he finished and was walking away from the podium he was all hunched over and I said to my husband, "Gosh he looks like he's aged at least 10 years since the campaign started. He looks like an old man the way he walks all hunched over. I don't think he could make it through a whole term even if he were to become the nominee." When I told my husband he was 74, he said that he thought he was much older than that.

(1,446 posts)Bernie has been at the forefront of veterans issues. The only thing Hillary has done for veterans is to create more for them, at least the ones that survive her wars.

(382 posts)Was there a sudden snap-back of the neck followed by a mumbled, "I wasn't asweep"? We need actual drool or day-time-sleep sweat or video, otherwise we may have a picture of the Senator looking at his program or an ant on the ground.
I will investigate further.

(154,021 posts)of course I am somewhat partisan to this quote, which is actually real.
Labor is prior to, and independent of, capital. Capital is only the fruit of labor, and could never have existed if labor had not first existed. Labor is the superior of capital, and deserves much the higher consideration. Abraham Lincoln

Nice try.
But you like Breitbart. Let me give you some Breitbart
here, Ben Sassee, they think he is the real deal to run against Trump

Here is David Horowitz's take on Bill Kristol and this little plan, and if you know anything about Horowitz, which I doubt you do, this one will make sense.

They also have a bunch of stories on the gorilla, and the real outrage. not Sanders on the front page, but this

Enjoy some Breitbart. I know they are just as funny, but at times, seldomlly they actually do break news, on the Right Wing/, but they, like Blue Nation Review, they belong in the same trash heap when it comes to propaganda.
