Bernie Sanders sends a chilling message to Hillary campaign
American Thinker ^ | Thomas Lifson

Posted on 07/02/2015 9:12:52 AM PDT by RoosterRedux

Hillary Clinton and her campaign cronies saw something frightening yesterday: a fired-up crowd of ten thousand people in Madison, Wisconsin, packing the Veterans Memorial Coliseum to the rafters in support of a candidate best known as Not Hillary. The previously fairly obscure Senator Bernie Sanders is drawing the same kind of enthusiasm that Eugene McCarthy sparked in 1968 when he drive an even more inevitable nominee from the Democratic ticket, incumbent President Lyndon Johnson.

It is clear that the progressive base of the Democratic Party is fed up with Hillary Clinton, the cozy-with-Wall-Street party insider who parlayed political connections into a nine-figure fortune after leaving the White House “dead broke.” In fact, the big news the Clinton Campaign intended to tout on the day of Sanders’s triumph brought home the point: her campaign has managed to raise $45 million.

To the left-wing core of the Democratic Party, the message is a clear contrast: Hillary has the money, and Bernie has the people.

Does anyone in the Hillary campaign think they can draw ten thousand wildly enthusiastic supporters to cheer, stomp, and call out her name in an orgy of political thrills? I suspect they are considering the question this morning, thinking that out of 16 million or so people in the Greater New York Area, perhaps ten thousand is not an insurmountable number. In Greater Madison, with a population of 568,593 in the 2010 Census, it is certainly an impossibility.

Look at all those mentally ill folks!

Meantime, Bernie is at the podium thinking “They love me, they really love me...”

Hillary is somewhere throwing lamps, and her staff on the webpage for Wayfair.com for replacements.

I think this is much more of a “anybody but Hillary” phenomenon than a “I love Bernie” phenomenon.

Fun, but still concerning.

Yes, I love the populist communist beating out the phony “populist wanna-be” crony fascist. But it’s concerning that since American presidents are now selected, not elected, one of these two will likely occupy the White House.

Lol, I have a strong feeling that the Democrat field is going to be horrible unless they get someone else - the majority of American voters will vote for gays, muslims, anything...but the majority won’t vote for socialists.

Go Bernie go! He’s the only hope for a dictatorship of the proletariat! With Hillary it’s just a dictatorship.

They did in 2008 and 2012 so I'm not so sure about that.

Yes, and they all vote. They voted for the turd in the white hut the last time, and they'll vote for anyone whom they think will use the power of government to rob the rest of us and share the plunder with them.

On the whole Democratic voters are too lazy to steal, so they vote for someone who will do it for them.

“but the majority won’t vote for socialists.”

I’m assuming you mean unless they are Black community organizers.

Is Hillary more greedy for money or power?

Tough call : )

Why Madison, Wisconsin? He doesn’t like the climate in Austin, Texas, this time of year. Not sure why not Ithaca, NY though, unless he’s wanting to be closer to Iowa.

Hillary Rodham is not fit to be POTUS. Only a brain dead jackass would even consider voting for her. Sure doesn’t say much for those living in our country these days.
