(8,976 posts)" Democratic presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders pulled up to a supporters garage in his hulking campaign bus, prepared to give a pep talk to a few dozen devotees who had been tirelessly knocking on doors for him in the final days before the Iowa caucuses."
See that hulking beast??? Even his bus is a thug!

(8,267 posts)that bus--with less than a dozen of her campaign staff in front.
All John Wagner needs to do is view the pictures of the crowds at Bernie's venues, then compare them to the pictures of the relatively sparse crowds at Hi11ary's venues. The vast crowds amassing to see Bernie tell me all I need to know about his popularity, and about how much his message resonates for the Hoi Polloi.
BTW, poor WAPO isn't getting their money's worth from Wagner.

(28,125 posts)Quid pro quo at work? They support her, she wins the presidency, her justice dept. will make a sweet deal with them.
Is that how it works?
They know the Bern will burn their asses.

Bezos has a lot to protect - starting with his long-running $1.5 billion dollar tax battle with the IRS. And maintaining his below industry average $12 hourly Amazon wages and protecting the half million he spent lobbying for his new Blue Origin aerospace venture. Bezos and the WaPo are a classic example of the oligarchy at work.

(275 posts)WaPo sucks - big time! Just how much "older" and "crankier" is Bernie than, say, Donald Trump (who's 69) and Hillary (who's 68)? Ageism is just as foul as sexism, folks!
