Bernie Sanders Struggles in South Carolina [View all] bravenak Nov 2015 OP

May I ask why it is notable that he referred to himself in the third person? n/t JonLeibowitz Nov 2015 #1

It is noted by the reporter. I noticed it during the debates. bravenak Nov 2015 #2

Bob Dole was (rightfully) mocked for referring to himself in the third person. SunSeeker Nov 2015 #11

Usually it is wierd and creepy Kentonio Nov 2015 #39

He did it in the first debate bravenak Nov 2015 #43

So the reader knows that he did so 72DejaVu Nov 2015 #47

Bernie struggles to get 65% of the vote at a straw poll on BET in SC jfern Nov 2015 #4

I do not understand what the BET straw poll has to do with the statewide polls. bravenak Nov 2015 #6

Bernie was once 3% nationwide jfern Nov 2015 #7

He has not yet. bravenak Nov 2015 #8

You mean he "struggles" in a red state??? darkangel218 Nov 2015 #12

Why doesn't he run more ads? nt SunSeeker Nov 2015 #14

Maybe because he doesn't have the Wall Street mulah behind him!! darkangel218 Nov 2015 #15

Awww. Poor Bernie. SunSeeker Nov 2015 #19

Yah! Poor Bernie!! darkangel218 Nov 2015 #20

Reality is presidential campaigns cost money. Lots of money. SunSeeker Nov 2015 #21

Didn't Hillary say money should be taken out of politics??? darkangel218 Nov 2015 #24

Yes, but she won't unilaterally disarm until that happens. SunSeeker Nov 2015 #26

She should take the lead, shouldn't she??? darkangel218 Nov 2015 #28

She does not have more money than the GOP. SunSeeker Nov 2015 #31

So far she's running in the Primaries. darkangel218 Nov 2015 #32

What do you think the Benghazi hearing was all about last month? nt SunSeeker Nov 2015 #33

Thats not the point. darkangel218 Nov 2015 #34

I suggest you have some warm milk and go to bed. SunSeeker Nov 2015 #37

All I know is that the Primaries havent even started yet. darkangel218 Nov 2015 #38

Hillary will earn her votes. SunSeeker Nov 2015 #41

I "sound irritable"?? darkangel218 Nov 2015 #45

She has to get elected first. yardwork Nov 2015 #96

She could have started by setting an example, darkangel218 Nov 2015 #98

Bernie has the money SleeplessinSoCal Nov 2015 #35

Bernie was referring to "We, the People" when he sais "we have our work cut out for us", not himself peacebird Nov 2015 #51

Not the first time he has been noticed doing that bravenak Nov 2015 #76

I think the reporter is referring to his reference to "Bernie Sanders." yardwork Nov 2015 #97

Everytime anyone does it I get a little irritated. bravenak Nov 2015 #64

For many of us, South Carolina is hostile territory. Very strongly anti gay and antisemitic, hugely Bluenorthwest Nov 2015 #63

Sure. The entire nation is hostile to blacks. I get it. bravenak Nov 2015 #65

But you seem to celebrate that hostility toward Bernie. I think bias motivated hostility is a very Bluenorthwest Nov 2015 #66

Bias towards Bernie? Nobody HAS to like anybody. bravenak Nov 2015 #72

Referring to yourself in the third person.... MaggieD Nov 2015 #67

The states with the highest black population in our primary love Hillary. bravenak Nov 2015 #75

And they will go Republican in the general. Comrade Grumpy Nov 2015 #77

She may win one or two of those states. bravenak Nov 2015 #78

Granted, any Dem will have hard time winning in red states. That's why they're red states. Comrade Grumpy Nov 2015 #85

Why shouldn't democrats in Red States have a say? bravenak Nov 2015 #89
