to try to dangle bait in front of him. He's too smart by light-years to bite, and they'll be too stupid to stop trying.

I love this guy.

I'm liking what I hear from him. I was a Dean fan, too. Makes me nervous.

Asshat or not, it gave Bernie an opportunity to show his stuff. "Don't ask me. Ask her." Perfect!

He straight up slapped the interviewer down when he tried to get Bernie to speak FOR Hilary! That was very well handled.

... to deal with CORPORATE BEHOLDEN JERKS like these people that need to be pushed to the employment line if we can get a reformed media landscape later when someone like Bernie becomes president4 and we have a decent congress again, with some sane Supreme Court Justices that don't want to create a corporate bribery state out of our country.
