RT = retweet. And 'Bernie drew more than 31,0002his rallies' = 'Bernie drew more than 31,000 TO his rallies'

Corp Media works for Corporate Candidates. Not sure who even watches them anymore, other than Corp fans.

The corporate media ignoring the Sanders campaign is no surprise. I have observed it since he announced that he was running.

I've never seen anything like this.

Also, you can edit your headline anytime but it won't show as an edit if you do it within 30 minutes of the post. It would be easier to read with spaces between the words.

It's pretty amazing to see though and it may prove you don't need billions from crooks to win an election (hopefully).

Because as a Vermont Senator it is a neighboring state and yet no one expects Clinton should win Vermont for the same reason...

...and that's why some people figure that Bernie Sanders needs early victories for the momentum to surpass her.

like half the population?

That's good to see. We know he's popular so large numbers are to be expected, but 31k in 3 days is impressive. That's 1% of the population of the entire state (3.1m). To give an example, that would be equivalent to 390k in California, 270k in Texas, or 200k in Florida (3 largest states by pop).

Those numbers in Iowa are a good sign when you consider it's the first primary state.

What I worry about is a "back against the wall" panic from the Clinton campaign where they drop the pretense of ethics and start using all that money to fight dirty. I hope Bernie's people are ready for the possibility.

She is the inevitable winner!

There is not a time line for dirty tricks, its happening now.

I'm looking for another scandal that makes people take sides, hoist Hillary's petard to win Sanders the nomination.

They, and FSTV are the ONLY places I can find Bernie news on the dial,
and RT is pretty good to Bernie. They broadcast 3 hours of Thom Hartmann every day.
