Cornel West: Wake Up, Bernie Sanders Is The Candidate Of The Student Protest Movement

[NCTraveler]

WATERLOO, Iowa — The Cornel West barnstorm of Iowa for Bernie Sanders began here Friday in an off-brand fashion for the famous Princeton professor and activist, best known for fiery speeches and sharp rhetoric delivered with rhetorical flourish and, above all, drawing a crowd.


There was plenty of that to come, but the first stop was a quiet conversation in a room of about a dozen where only three were not committed Sander supporters. It was billed as a press conference at Sanders’s Waterloo HQ, a converted health care office on a quiet downtown street across from a convention center and down the block from a strip club.

Only two reporters showed, and one walked there from the offices of the Waterloo-Cedar Falls Courier. Other than West’s 15 year-old daughter (who was travelling with her dad) everyone else in the room was a Sanders staffer.

2. I'm sure having Cornel West speak as a Sanders surrogate

will bring in those Obama voters.

"Dear Brother Obama"

4. By endorsing Senator Sanders Dr. West did a favor for both Hillary and Bernie.
