    Controversial "Bernie or Bust" pledge... I am sympathetic to the freedom to not support other party candidates if this candidate doesn't succeed... pledge to write in Bernie, claim of leverage against delegates robbing Sanders the nomination... seems kind of childish and short-sighted, too focused on the presidential elections... Bernie's own pledge to support Hilary if she is the nominee does much to go against this strategy...

  • They don't want the establishment—whether a political party, or the media—pushing anything on them
  • upbeat humor seemed a more effective strategy in attacking Drumpf because it held the prospect of turning undecided voters away from the billionaire without his loyalists complaining that he was being treated unfairl
  • "Maybe it’s time to blow [the Republican Party] up,”

  • “Every family has somebody that has an uncle who puts his foot in the his mouth,"
  • It portrayed Drumpf as a heartless businessman, whose only aim was to benefit his corporation's bottom line."Drumpf got his hotels, but I lost everything," one working class employee said in the ad.
  • "That ad is really good, if it's true," Jeff said.
  • described Obama as "cocky," "elitist," and "un-American.
  • When asked to describe the U.S. press, many complained of being portrayed as racist bigots, while other simply used descriptors like "biased" and "elitists." "The media always puts us as uneducated. It's just not true," said Michael, a middle-aged Drumpf supporter
  • "You are actually building his campaign with every attack," Luntz told journalists during one break. "You’re actually creating the phenomenon that you are opposing."

  • “I would rather vote for something I want and not get it, than to vote for something I don’t want and get it.”
  • his straight-forward style and remarkable policy views ensure that no one will view him as just another career politician.
  • The speech I heard last summer did not say enough about women or African-Americans.

  • Ironically, Debs, like Sanders, has been criticized from the left by opponents who viewed him as insensitive to racism.
  • Sanders, like Debs, could bring about genuine reform by challenging the Democrats from the left. He argues that Sanders could “win by losing.” In particular, the historian notes banking reform and child-labor laws achieved during the Progressive era, which were initially part of Debs’s agenda.
  • Sanders campaign cannot transform the system, but it could provide an opportunity for “socialists to regrow, organize together.” Further, he hopes it will give legitimacy to the world “socialist” and “spark a conversation about it.” From this perspective, Sanders has already won.
  • promise of support for the Democratic Party’s nominee
  • offered little real change, and instead channeled young activists into the corrupt Democratic Party. Sanders’s socialist ideals, or longtime status as an independent, seem less important than his current relationship with the Democrats. Their view, stated simply, is that Bernie Sanders is no Eugene Debs. That argument is true, but it is not very helpful today, since Debs will not be on the ballot
  • All of the writers I have discussed assume that Sanders will fail to win the presidency. Although the candidate is a long-shot, his quest for the presidency is not impossible.
