*Video: Sen. Bernie Sanders on Real Time with Bill Maher, last Fri. June 19, 2015

In case you missed it during this busy week. Bill gives Bernie a lot of well deserved love and compliments.
"You're a Rockstar now! And you're drawing such huge crowds lately. You've even got Hillary Clinton talking like Elizabeth Warren!".

Indeed, he knows exactly what's going on and is sharp as heck. It's subtle but there. appalachiablue Jun 2015 #6

He has kicked ass every time he's been on Real Time, and Colbert too!

He was on The Nightly Show not long before he announced, and they loved the hell out of him there too.

Oddly enough, he's never been on The Daily Show.

You could feel and see the excitement, respect and enthusiasm when Bernie arrived. Bill was really good too.

Bernie makes me so very proud and hopeful!

Don't know what's up with the Daily Show, and can believe Bernie was great on Colbert, South Carolina native son.

I just remembered seeing that glimmer of humor when Sanders said "Are you suggesting the Saudis handle their own defense?" or whatever it was. He's so serious most of the time, it was great to see him jest

I've seen that kind of mental quickness and humor a couple times, also the smile which is great. Enjoy!
