It's an affectation some people use. I'm not sure it's meaningful.

Did you listen to the interview and take into consideration the context of what was said?

Bernie sanders did well in the interview.

Sanders has had a better week than Hillary Clinton.

Clinton should be embarrassed.

Nothing debunked.

But keeping on pushing Bernie on us. America has rejected him.

Definitely a friendly interviewer, but I thought Bernie was very effective.

says that there is nothing inherently wrong with it. However, he also thinks that if he were to do it too much, it would seem strange. Thankfully Spacedog1973 doesn't do it often.

Nothing to see here.

Consistently says "No President, not Bernie Sanders, not anyone can do this alone"

Real ego on this guy

Thanks.

I stated that the context in which Bernie Sanders used "Bernie Sanders" in the interview was perfect.

You think?

Anyone who runs for president has a giant ego. Bernie is no exception to this universal truth.

You are delusional.

YOU are delusional.

can you blame him?

privileged white men do. tRump does it as well but in a more psychotic way.

White privileged men speak like that.

For example, if people are listening to audio only, they can connect the message to the name.

He needs to check himself into the nearest emergency room !!
He's really gone off the deep end now..

Whatever shall we do?

To worry about, really. He thinks many people do that.

"Whether contradicting the position she took in her Twitter message or poking fun at her use of the third person to refer to herself, Twitter users whiled away the time attacking Clinton for what she said and the way she said it.

“We’re not at war with a religion. We’re at war with radical jihadism. Hillary knows the difference,” Clinton tweeted."
