Bernie Sanders
Related: About this forumBernie ACED it on Late Night With Seth Meyers! Audience Reaction was Fantastic!
Seth was great! He brought up the 'question' the Old Media has tried to make so much of, but it was hilarious and the audience laughed.
Seth: 'Considering the success of 50 Shades of Grey, are you sorry you didn't go that route?'
Lol, Bernie laughed, so did the audience. Naturally Bernie said 'no'.
Issue dismissed as it should be!
Audience applauded at almost every response from Bernie.
Already Social Media is calling Bernie's performance 'great, so cute, fantastic'.

(9,126 posts)Bernie has been called by some grumpy, but in a lot of the interviews I see (when the interviewer isn't a total asshole) he looks relaxed and happy. I actually have not seen him smile and laugh so much. It's like he's feeding on all the energy. I really hope people get to see this.

(62,325 posts)supporters, it is being linked to all over the internet.
They were great, both of them.
I thought he would do it by satelite considering the heavy schedule he has. So I was surprised to see him walk onto the stage, which means he had to travel to NY I believe. Maybe his team planned the Katy Couric and Seth appearances on the same day.
He seems to have some good media contacts. He's everywhere.
Next, the Tonight Show, Bill Maher, Ellen, Oprah, the more exposure the better. Because as his exposure increases so do his approval ratings.

(9,126 posts)Here are some quotes to back up your statement.
"Im going to keep saying this. Everyone on this sub has to at minimum get 10 people to like or want to vote for bernie."
"And its so easy! All you need to do is tell them that Bernie exists and they jump right on....
Everyone I talk to who is a supporter of hillary only support her because it's the only candidate they know about, and most of the time they aren't even enthusiastic to support her, as if it's a chore."
"I was in that boat, so I can see it. Most people only get their news and political updates through the major news outlets, and if those stations don't want someone on the ballot, they just ignore him/her. The same thing's happening with Rand Paul on a couple big stations. When you only ever hear about Hillary, and maybe about Warren, it becomes easy to see those as the only people who have a chance. It's kind of sad, but I think when people see through it, they really get excited at the idea of voting for someone that the big media companies don't want getting elected."
"I don't want to be a democrat or a republican, I just want to vote for Bernie because I believe in the things he says."
These are out of order, but so they make sense. I hope that people know they have to GOTV because so many new voters are breaking for Bernie. He's turning into a rock star.

And even if it's true I would rather have a grumpy Bernie for president than anyone else. But, especially any Republican and especially a happy Republican because happy Republicans are bad for everyone.

(62,325 posts)and even when asked about the smears, he is completely honest.
The people are grumpy because there is plenty to be grumpy about.
I don't care how grumpy he is because I'm even more grumpy.
But he does have a sense of humor, and can laugh at himself as he did when Seth made fun of old article.
