2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumDoes anybody else think Jane Sanders has political aspirations?
Her obsession with being in front of the media is one factor making me believe this. Few wives of candidates are as visible as she. Maybe Jane's ambitions are the reason he keeps on keeping on, despite the obvious maths.

(12,958 posts)It won't happen because cognitive dissonance demands they bridge the gap between reality and her policies with crap like this OP.

Which is how almost every primary season goes.

(6,399 posts)The most vocal supporters on both sides are not the one discussing the issues. Just how it goes.

(6,399 posts)If you're saying that ALL of them are like that, then you're missing out on a great deal of discussion that has and does happen.
AgingAmerican
(12,958 posts)You would think the most vocal would be the most informed. The REASON they are so vocal without a willingness to discuss issues is because of cognitive dissonance.

(1,258 posts)I hardly ever see her. She looks so middle class it's awesome!
I think Bernie is excited that the progressive side of Dems is alive and well. He's realizing that there is a more than a single presidency going on here. It's the start of a movement to take back the Democratic party. Also, Hillary is actively under investigation by the FBI. Perhaps the FBI will actually do it's job.
lunasun
(21,646 posts)originally,is because of her .
Media is all marketing mavbis and her archetype has "appeal"
"She looks so middle class it's awesome! "
She looks very in the middle everyday women
Or like a nice teacher you had in high school or something
She has great projection, and many could relate to her image
And right or wrong reason to go to the polls,, that would mean votes for him.

(36,926 posts)She has aged very well and is still quite pretty I think.
The Second Stone
(2,900 posts)With all she has learned, and with her elect-ability (that is, she can get into the White House), I suspect that we will have a lot of victories like the LGBT people have in the past decade.

(21,646 posts)couldn't talk about obesity with out it being viewed as political
If you notice it. and think it odd that is a comment right there imo. I find her natural and not obssesive
The ones that decorate and are quiet
.are always fondly viewed by those observers
The Second Stone
(2,900 posts)history, and that she had a newspaper column and radio show. She taught FDR how to care about poor people. She was also the first Roosevelt to address the American people after Pearl Harbor. An utterly remarkable American of any age, and worthy of our admiration.
Michelle Obama never wanted to be First Lady, but she has understood duty and responsibility for talent, her own and her husband's quite well.
As for Hillary Clinton, she has always had talent and ambition. The right hates her even more than they hated Eleanor Roosevelt for just that reason.

hollowdweller
(4,229 posts)In 4 years I think Bernie would be too old to run again.
If Hillary actually delivers she will win but if she sells out I'd like to see Jane Sanders run.
I have been totally impressed with her in interviews, she answers every question and like on Maddow she even addressed things Maddow said about the campaign on another show.
I have known people who knew Hillary and said she is an amazing person in real life, but she sounds pissed off and harsh always on the stump. Sanders has a very calm style and is great.

(10,476 posts)There's something slightly Palin-esque in how there's remarkably little forethought behind the words.
frylock
(34,825 posts)Palin-esque? Where do you people come up with this shit?
Tarc
(10,476 posts)Sanders is obviously intelligent and can carry a conversation with ease, unlike Palin whose very words are like shrapnel in your eardrums.
Like I said, there's just not a lot of thought behind these media appearances, it's like she logged into the DU and memorized every line of the previous night's pro-Bernie posts. It's just regurgitation, like Palin's word salad bumper-sticker speeches.

Tarc
(10,476 posts)Sorry, she's an awful and uninspiring speaker.
riderinthestorm
(23,272 posts)Somebody's a "poor you" and it's not me. Your blind hatred for all things Bernie is now complete.
I actually feel sorry for you.
I'm just wondering if you're going to delete this crazy shit.
My bet is "not" since you won't see anything wrong with it.
Tarc
(10,476 posts)It was a comparison of one aspect of her demeanor. I fully realize that, for Sanders fans, people who hold a different opinion on a matter are viewed as contagious lepers, but you're getting a bit more unhinged than most.
Chillax, brah.
riderinthestorm
(23,272 posts)This explains so much.
My teen has already outgrown the whole "chillaxe" phase but I guess you're still having to go through it.
Feel free to have the last word, I know that's important to children.

cali
(114,904 posts)Vermont politics don't work that way. You really have to start on the local level here. In order for Jane to get into elected politics, she'd have to get elected to the legislature or some other local office. Then she'd have to put in her time.
