There are few places in the nation where a democratic socialist independent who’s mulling a presidential run would have more rock-star status than the Bay Area.
Yet U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vermont, is convinced that his populist message can resonate far beyond places like Berkeley and Brooklyn.
“If you go to almost any state in this country, including the most conservative, and you ask them if it makes sense to give tax breaks to billionaires while making cuts to Medicare and Medicaid and education, they will say ‘no,’” Sanders said in an interview Monday afternoon in San Francisco. He said working people in both parties are fed up with “the obscene levels of income and wealth inequality we are seeing.”

During the Obama Administration

play the peoples envy...blame the JOOS...
How ‘bout the obscene levels of government spending, Bernie ? How ‘bout leaving our children $20 trillion in debt before this current regime is done, Bernie ?
Capitalism doesn’t necessarily lead to the very rich. In fact, competition divorced of the crony capitalist regulations and limitations would suppose more competition and less supper rich that what we have with congress and regulatory agencies picking losers and winners.
Bernie Sanders barnstorms Gay Area with socialist populist message
It’s bad enough having Obozo show up here every time he runs out of pocket change, but Bernie is now infecting the Bay Area as well?
Ugh. Double ugh. Triple dog dare ugh!
Why don’t these guys stay home once in awhile?
I thought Bernie Died long ago.
What better ticket would assure us of a Cruz or Walker or Rubio President.
That’s why they’re spraying the bejeezus out of the skies today? Man, more trails than a pregnant bunny drops.. :-o
In the freak show politics has become.. Bernie is a side show.
Laugh at Sanders and Warren FReepers. At our own peril.
Do any of you see Republicans talking about blue collar and middle class jobs? Didn’t think so.
Beyond that, how many voters see themselves as entrepreneurs and business owners vs. those who see themselves as middle class or blue collar salary / wage earners, trying to stay afloat?
The GOP is going to suck down another "empathy gap" defeat if they don't tune their message better. Coming out against runaway immigration would be a good first step, and one the Left couldn't imitate. Of course the GOP donor class wants none of that, so the Stupid Party is stuck fighting on the Democrats' terms.
From what I have read, Bernie and his wife have also financially benefitted during the reign of Dear Reader.
Perhaps he can become the president of San Francisco. We should encourage it. Then, all the leftist idiots can flock there and Detroitize SF, as they are now doing to Chicago.
I do not buy that figure at all, by the way
Aren’t you in TX? Bernie will be in Austin tonight.
My primary problem with Bernie Sanders is that I do not think he knows what he is talking about. He is just rambling on in psychobabble without addressing any real substance, or without addressing the real issues of our hardworking taxpayers.
Bernie likes the sound of his own voice, and the affirmative nodding of low information voters.
