The Secret of Bernie Sanders' Success

I think Bernie Sanders is making all the other candidates of both parties look quite anemic. And, it is all from telling the truth about the things that matter to the American public. He does not have to go negative toward his opponents. By taking money from the billionaires they are negating themselves in the eyes of the American people, as beholden to the billionaire class.

I am re-posting this here, pending my appeal of it being locked out of "General Discussion." Bernie is currently engaged in the general campaign where he is walking away with it, to the astonishment of most professional politicians and political pundits. Bernie has reformed the election process by making his refusal to take billionaires' money an essential part of a winning strategy for the 2016 Democratic primary and general election.

all there is too it

there's really nothing else going on here - style really becomes irrelevant once that advantage is played, and it makes candidates who are reaching for that 'right meaningless catchy slogan' look like what they are

I really can not touch on anything you said, because the fact of the matter is your post says it all. People are TIRED of LIES (HILLARY) and the country is just plain out in deep trouble, and we finally, FINALLY have a chance to put a man who is for US in the house and it has truly become a movement now.

Look we all know he can not do everything in 4-8 years, but we DO KNOW he means what he says and he WILL try.

Unlike a certain someone who always steals what he says and then trys to add, "But I'm going to take it a step further" yeah ok, she's been the wife of a former president, "NOTHING CHANGED" she's been inside the establishment like forever, "NOTHINGS CHANGED" but oh wait, suddenly now she's going to do or try to do this? lol

So it comes down to, Who do you vote for, someone who is BSing just to get into the white house again, or someone who really means it. well, that choice is so obvious its unbelievable that she has ANY states. within the last 3-5 days I have seen a even BIGGER explosion of Bernie Sanders supporters.

. . . . that Bernie started as a mayor then congress-person then senator - which took a lifetime -
that is why Ralph Nader couldnt garner the support probably or that he didnt have a billion dollars either

plus he had timing - he could have won - but that is in hindsight - look at the crowds he had - unbelievable - no one has had that in a while - he had momentum and timing too
