In reply to the discussion: Can Bernie handle the media? Past Post: Watch him eat Chuck Toad for Brunch! (Meet the Press) [View all]Volaris
(10,266 posts)41. And it's not just rethorical
He can go stand on the tops of the coal-company destroyed mountains in West Virgina (where theres no clean water left to drink) and tell the people who live there, 'Yeah, you actually DON'T have to live this way, there are alternatives that allow a better life for you and your kids."
Those people normally vote GOP, and they do so because they get told that they should be good little capitalist-christians and just accept their suffering, (you know, like White Jesus did) and LATER is when you get to have happiness and vindication.
If we do what Dr Dean SAID we should be doing (and proved works) we can win everywhere. Maybe not everywhere all the time, but the 50-state strategy turns a lot of red places purple=)

+10 Bernie knows what he's doing with the press & what is happening to America's middle class.

He says what he means and he says it clearly. AFAIK he can handle anybody, especially the "Pundits"

How would Bernie fare with the National Security State? The powers behind the scene.
