(9,126 posts)We are so accustomed to politicians lying, or using special words ("strenghten social security" means cut?) that people have no idea what to think when a politician tells the truth. I have very high hopes for candidate Bernie's run. I hope he has some very smart people to work on the media hijinxs as there will be plenty.

(9,126 posts)They are paying freelancers in Myanmar their $.05 an hour to photoshop all the pictures of him with crazy hair. They have a pre-cut reel of sound effects to recreate the Dean scream. And they have culled together anything with the word socialist in it and are ready to pull the trigger. If Hillary runs, they might be distracted going after her because they are scared of her and Bernie might fly under the radar. But they know that his message can't really get out and be taken seriously, becuase that's far too dangerous.

IMO, there is no substitute for Bernies integrity and experience.

(9,126 posts)But the way people are talking about the FDR special, he should remind them of that. Trouble is, I don't think Senator Sanders is good at making lofty promises and in that way, someone could outsell him. I think the Republican candidate will be Jeb Bush so imagine that lying weasel demon against Bernie. I would be afraid of all the low down things Jeb & Rove would pull and there would be plenty. I wish the people of this country weren't so damn stupid and could see past all of those things.
