Face The Facts: The American People Are Populists

[GoLeft TV]

If it seems like more and more presidential candidates are adopting a populist message, it's because they know that it resonates well with the American public.

Bernie Sanders has gone from being a long shot candidate to being a very serious contender in a matter of months, simply by stating what he actually believes and talking about things that he’s been talking about for decades.

Other candidates have noticed that this is helping him in the polls, and so they too want to adopt the populist message.

2. Where are you getting these numbers?

Bernie's popularity continues to grow as more people hear his message. People are tired of the corruption caused by campaign donations and Citizens United has really put the politician for sale up close and personal to too many Americans.

5. Nonsense. If he wins the nomination he will be president

He is the man of the people...running to get them everything the polls say they want. No one lese is doing this so he will win the race.
