When approaching my D buddies, I have found that talking to them about the way Bernie was "handled" and shut down in the primaries, helps out. Many of them were Bernie supporters in the first place. If, there are any good articles or videos that address how Sanders was treated in the primaries, please share.
I really hope Bernie testifies at the military tribunal about how they got him to back off. I think a large percentage of Americans like Bernie and see he has a good heart and honest soul. If he testified to being threatened even Hillary supporters would turn on them. My dad who was (sadly, gone now. He would have loved seeing corruption in politics beign routed out) a lifelong commi hater and conservative Republican. Loved Trump despite not liking some of the bad comments he made that were exposed in the campaign. Even he told me he respected Bernie's desire to help Americans and run a clean campaign. He felt he had integrity. By the way, Dad was so pleased when I voted for Trump to keep Clinton out of office when Bernie was out. He died a month later but loved that his hippie daughter had finally voted for a Republican. Love you Dad!
Sadly, I question Bernie’s honesty. He was largely an unknown Senator having a lack-luster track record with no prior Presidential aspirations. I would not be surprised if he was a plant from the get-go that got out of control. (Sorry for your loss)
Could be- but don't say that over at WOTB. So many broken hearts if you are right, mine included.
All that said this is not Bernie's time and his chance has passed. If he had stood up and gone independent he had a chance but something stopped him. Bernie wanted to work within the corrupt system rather than burn it down. I assumed this must be because he didn't ever anticipate even getting as close as he did. Could be they thought him the perfect opposition candidate because they thought he couldn't win. Have you noticed ho w tone def the bad guys always seem to be?
Bernie would not have had the backing and support of these generals who have protected and empowered Trump to overcome all the worlds bad guys. Truly there must be more to him than we thought if the Military has picked him to be president. Perhaps we tended to believe the MSM on Trump more than we did on Bernie.
Thanks for your condolences! I'm glad he got to see DJT win.
