When Bernie went on Fox News in 2016 he kinda killed it

[Uncle Joe]

(snip)

Bernie’s supporters are defending him, pointing out that when he appeared on Fox News as a presidential candidate back in 2016 he had some major standout moments, including getting red-state Trump voters to applaud his policy ideas.

Fox News’ Bret Baier asked Bernie in 2016 what in the world made him believe health care was a human right.

“Being a human being,” Bernie responded. “I believe that if she is poor and you are rich, she is entitled to the same quality health care that you have because she is a human being.”

Thus far, Sanders is the only candidate with an announced town hall on Fox News, but another 2020 candidate, Pete Buttigieg, has also expressed an interest in appearing on the conservative news network. In an appearance on “The View” last month, Buttigieg said that it was important to leverage Fox News massive audience to explain his viewpoints.

1. Bernie ALWAYS kills it!!! He's BY FAR the most qualified & therefore the best, candidate to defeat

the Pussy-Grabber-in-Chief.


Bernie & Elizabeth 2020!!!
Welcome to the revolution!!!

26. Why do the Rethugs think tRump can beat Bernie

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

27. Why would anyone fall for reverse psychology from a bunch of Rethug liars?!

3. Bernie always kills it

as far as supporters are concerned. He can do nothing wrong or nothing mediocre in their eyes.

When is he going to kill it by releasing his tax returns?

[Hassin Bin Sober]

4. Why don't you watch the video and give your interpretation.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

9. Why do that when simply bashing Bernie will suffice?!

Bernie & Elizabeth 2020!!!
Welcome to the revolution!!!

[NurseJackie]

13. Oh, please! Nobody here is bashing Bernie.

Why do that when simply bashing Bernie will suffice?

Oh, please! Nobody here is bashing Bernie. Nobody.

[George II]

20. Not agreeing with Sanders and his supporters 100% of the time is now "bashing bernie"?

Now, back to the issue, where are the tax returns he promised three years ago and again in February.

PS - I looked into it, that two-stage release of his 2 pages then 5 subsequent pages was NOT his complete tax return for 2014.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

25. YES, you MUST agree 100% of the time with Bernie or it's bashing... riiiiight!!

That's EXACTLY what we're saying!!! Suuuuurrrrrre!!!



That is TOO funny... your GROSSLY over-exaggerated, sinking argument only PROVES my point!!



Thanks!!

BTW, you forgot to mention Bernie's not a Democrat... though he IS!!


Bernie & Elizabeth 2020!!!
Welcome to the revolution!!!

5. No taxes equals no trust and no vote. He doesn't plan to release them until AFTER he gets the

nomination... I will add: if he does at all. The last 10 seconds from his own mouth.

8. I think Bernie's Senate financial disclosure form is more than adequate for me.

I am satisified that he's just a Senator, and a writer.

Why do you need to see Bernie's tax returns when you can see what he discloses annually on his Senate financial disclosure form?

[lunamagica]

10. Because we can't demand to see trump's tax returns when our candidate hides his, because

we deserve full transparency, because he PROMISED he would release them, and hasn't kept his promise. If he lies about this why should believe any other promise from him?

[Cha]

15. BS will release his Full Tax Returns..

in the Primary.. Nothing less than FULL TRANSPARENCY like every other candidate except trump.

[ehrnst]

17. Because that's what Democratic POTUS candidates do. If it's not good enough for Trump,

so it's not good enough for our people. Especially because full financial transparency is one of our issues, yes?

DT supporters are fine with DT's financial disclosure forms, but we know that he's hiding things.

[BlueFlorida]

24. The senate disclosures only give ranges

and not exact numbers. They don't describe the sources of income and never include personal deductions.

Let's say candidate X spent $20 million on TV ads (from the disclosure statements) ... then, if said candidate X received a $2 million commission or placement fee which was paid to a domestic or offshore entity, those $2 million won't be in the FDS. However, the tax returns would show that money.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

28. I agree with you in principle... but, I think it would be better if Bernie

did follow up his 2014 tax return disclosure by submitting the following years, once he has completed filing his 2018 tax return with the IRS.


Bernie & Elizabeth 2020!!!
Welcome to the revolution!!!

11. Nonsense. Bernie supporters are not a bunch of bots who think he can do no wrong. Many were upset

that he wouldn't run on a third-party, example, even though he was keeping his word that he would support the winner of the Democrratic primary. I criticized him in 2016 for his lack of foreign policy experience and, in parrticular, the lack of a clearly defined policy towards Israel. I criticize him now for not having the kind of detailed and workable plans that Warren is laying out. I criticize him for saying he is going to do various things like give everyone healthcare, instead of saying he will work to achieve these things as goals. I have no problem criticizing him for not yet releasing his tax returns (even though most of the other candidates haven't either). But these are all fact-based criticisms, not vague unsubstantiated generalizations.

The main reasons Sanders has a loyal following is that--overall--he has been trying to move the country in a progressive direction throughout his entire adult life. He's not perfect; I don't agree with every vote or proposal; I don't even necessarily like listening to his stump speeches. But in policy matters, his heart has consistently been in the right place. Many other candidates can be shown to have sacrificed principles for their careers in ways that he has not.

[BlueFlorida]

12. Why not move the tax returns in a progressive direction

and let them be judged by the American people?

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

29. I agree Bernie has his faults like any Democratic candidate, but, when it comes to foreign policy...

his IWR vote placed him among the top foreign policy experts, even if he has less experience than other candidates. Experience isnt everything, as we've seen in the results of past elections... take Obama, for example.

18. He "killed it" when he spoke at Liberty University, too.

[BlueFlorida]

22. And changed no one's mind there

but it was cheered on as a big bold move by the sycophants.

[Uncle Joe]

7. I posted one small snippet in the OP as to why they applauded Bernie, if you view the video

you will find more answers to your question.

Trying to figure out why he “killed it.”

Unless of course you just wish to slam all white people that happen to get their information from the highest rated corporate media conglomerate in the nation in terms of viewership in which case the video and truth of how Bernie's message resonates will mean nothing to you.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

30. WHAT?!?! Actually listen to what Bernie is saying?!?!

Wow... what a concept!!

21. You're on the right track. Considering the demographics of Vermont...

You're on the right track. Considering the demographics of Vermont and its lack of diversity, it makes sense that his messaging would tend to resonate well with a similar crowd.

It reminds me of his recent appearance in an historically black church in North Charleston, SC where fewer than 1% of the crowd were black. Yet in Kamala Harris's visit to the same location, the diversity of those in attendance closely mirrored the actual ethnic diversity of North Charleston.

This is no accident. It's undeniable that Bernie definitely has much difficulty trying to "connect" with all voters. His message and priorities clearly don't resonate with AA voters and POC.

[Uncle Joe]

32. Said poster is not on the "right track" anymore.

[elias7]

14. Points notwithstanding, this clip appears to be from MSNBC.

He is a strong campaigner. And charismatic.

[Cha]

16. "charismatic"? ha.

[lunamagica]

31. ...

[elias7]

33. Well, Trump is charismatic as well

Not to me, but to many.

I wouldn’t vote for Sanders at this point and he shouldn’t latch on and off the D wagon at will the way he does, but he has that avuncular Jewish champion of the common man thing going and carries himself well. I think there are too many ambiguities at play at this point, and I know that you despise him because of Hillary. But yes, I think he is charismatic.

[Uncle Joe]

19. That was the title of the article, there are actually a couple of shorter videos

on the link as well.

23. Charismatic
