    Underreported story: Bernie’s surge has not been limited to the primary. Despite Trump’s post-impeachment rise—which boosted him vs all of the Dems—Bernie has been steadily breaking away in head-to-head polls. Now, Bernie beats Trump by a wider margin than any other candidate.

    Welcome to the political revolution
    Every single major Western ally of the US embraces the policies and approaches to social welfare that is condemned for. Further countries embracing those policies top the league tables for everything from quality of life to fiscal responsibility.

    now just very openly begging billionaires to buy the election
    Listen carefully Dems, here is the tough love, your shot to stop Bernie. People have to get out, Warren needs to go at Bernie (not get a participation trophy from left), Biden needs an exciting VP. 2 Billionaires need to shift to fighting Bernie

    Dear : I will support whoever is the Dem nominee. But I’m curious upon what data do you base your opinion? Multiple credible polls show that in head to head matchups with Trump, Sanders is either the same as other Dem candidates, or ahead.
    If Democratic Socialist Bernie Sanders is our nominee, it’s over. He’ll lose in a landslide. We’ll lose our only chance to defeat Trump, we’ll lose our House majority, and we’ll lose our best opportunity to win back the Senate. We’ll also lose the Supreme Court for a generation.

    Stipulating that Twitter really isn't that big a deal -- for those who've been insisting that pro-Bernie Twitter has overall been bad for the campaign, I present to you this entrance polling data from Nevada:

    Bernie ain't my jam by a longshot, but I'm finding the hysterical toxicity of anti-Bernie Bros very alienating.

    A reminder that civil, fact-based tweets are called “rapid response” — as long as they are civil, they aren’t “abuse” just because you don’t like their content.

    Thats because — as polls show — Bernie’s agenda is supported by large majorities of voters all over America, even if his agenda is intensely opposed by residents of the cable TV green room
    one of my theories of sanders is that your typical voter perceives him very differently — i.e. not as “extreme” — than people highly educated about politics.

    “Suburban women, a key voting block that helped Democrats flip the House of Representatives in 2018, also favored Sanders, with 38% saying they admired his character and 47% agreeing that he ‘cares about people like me.’”
    If Bernie is the nominee, the suburbs are back in play for Republicans

    I needed to speak truth about my colleague . You simply cannot compare the victory of Bernie Sanders, whose kin was murdered in the Holocaust, to the Nazi defeat of France. This is a moment in media to grow and become curious or irrelevant.

    The DNC is supposed to be neutral yet their communications consultant is publicly pleading for the candidates to attack Bernie at Tuesday’s debate
    Candidates seeking to gain an edge on Bernie in the little time that is left need to recalibrate their strategy going into Tuesday’s debate. Do not take on Bloomberg or each other. Take on the frontrunner.

    As we enter a contentious campaign season, it is incumbent upon leaders & pundits to refrain from using offensive comparisons to the Holocaust. Doing so only diminishes the memories of the 6M Jews who were killed by Nazis & Nazi sympathizers.

    To listen to these Democratic candidates give their post-caucus speeches, they’ve never been in such great shape as when Bernie Sanders thumps them all.
