Bernie going to go on Fox for a town hall.

interesting read.

When I go on Fox, what I will say is, Look, many of you voted for Donald Trump, but he lied to you. He told you he was gonna provide health care for everybody. Yet his policies are to throw 30 million people off of the health insurance they have.

He told you he wasn’t gonna cut Medicare and Medicaid. He lied to you. Massive cuts in his budget for Medicare and Medicaid. We’re not going to let him do it, but that’s what he wants to do.

Told you his tax plan would not benefit the wealthy. He lied again. Of course, 83 percent of the benefits go to the top 1 percent. How do you explain that to people who voted for Trump if you don’t talk to people who voted for Trump?

But it’s not just Fox. If you check where I go, and where I will go into this campaign, I’m not just going to go into blue districts. You’ve got to go into areas where people are. Working people need to know the truth, and that is that Donald Trump betrayed them, lied to them. And I intend to do that.

I'm not a Bernie guy - at all - but I do think that the Democrats who avoid the racist, bigoted christian sexual predator's mainstream media outlets would be well-advised not to do so.

Bernie et. al. aren't going to change the minds of any of the hardcore members of the MAGA hate-fest.. but it would be worth their time to point out just what Sanders says here - "your hero lied to you. And he continues to lie to you - he thinks your stupid and you're proving him right.. you're voting against what is in your best interest because you're allowing yourself to be misled - you are better than that. You're smarter than that".

I say it all the time: hate, bigotry, racism, paranoia, misogyny are powerful human attributes.. but allowing those attributes to go unchallenged doesn't do anyone any good either.

Waste of time and not a good idea. No point in entertaining these unserious clowns.

I wish he would go away. He is not a democratic socialist. He is a social democrat. He knows the difference, but uses the former to sound revolutionary. He's not. He's just a quasi-establishment guy who benefits from being from Vermont, where the most stressful political battles involve the syrup industry and making Ben and Jerry happy.
