    "Sanders's far-left detractors merely reinforce the political isolation that they seem to brandish as a badge of virtue; in reality it is a symptom of political debility, a fatal estrangement from the tactical challenges and possibilities of the moment."

    "The small-donor activity may reflect growing public concern that democracy is under assault from politicians' increasing reliance on millionaire supporters. An opinion poll this month by Bloomberg Politics shows that a stunning 78 percent of the public stand with Bernie Sanders and favor overturning the Supreme Court's Citizens United decision, which has unleashed unlimited amounts of cash on political races, much of it coming from undisclosed sources." ‪#‎BernieSanders‬ ‪#‎FeelTheBern‬ ‪#‎AllowDebate‬

  • “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.

    "There's something admirable about Sanders's reluctance to attribute his political beliefs to autobiography: he doesn't want voters thinking that his commitment to redistributive economics stems from anything other than a deep-seated sense of fairness. He has neither the conventional politician's instinct for sharing relatable details nor the contemporary left's reverence for personal testimony. Still, he's running for President, and so he has reluctantly cracked open the door to his private life, even if his supporters are drawn to him, in part, because of that reluctance."

    "The theory suggests that when upwards of 60 percent of voters consistently agree that rich people should have their taxes raised, a candidate who promises to do so might be identified as what he actually is: middle of the road. That if Democrats give Democratic speeches on economic issues, voters suckered into Republicanism by refrains like Jihad! Jihad! Jihad! just might try something else. And that new voters might be attracted into politics if they could just hear a candidate cut to the radical quick of the actual problems that are ruining their lives. My new Republican friends didn't know they were not "supposed" to like a "liberal" like Bernie Sanders. Then they heard what he was saying, and liked what they heard. How many are there like them? That's what I've been trying to begin to find out."
