    1. Bernie’s had way more coverage in recent weeks. Believe it or not, some of us are not sold on Magic Grandpa Bernie. It’s not a conspiracy – Bernie just isn’t as great as you think he is.

    2. I don’t know who I want to win. They both are pathetic and easily beatable by Trump. Biden would be funnier. Trump is so hilarious, love that guy!

  1. The main stream media giving Biden free exposure does NOT mean he has a ground swell of support. It is only a reflection of his being embedded in the status quo.

    1. It is the independent vote is why the Russian’s are pushing for Bernie and to steer that voter towards Trump. They are very aware the independent voter will not accept Bernie. My eyes are wide open now!! With Biden the independent voter (such as myself) would accept him. I must be getting slow, because it took a few hours to figure Trump and Russian’s agenda! I get it now!!

    1. @Karen Byrd,
      “did not want a black man”

      I only heard that from fake news
      As an American Conservative or for any intelligent person President Obama’s color, race or whatever has no meaning

  2. I love how they openly admit that Biden loses all the debates, but they think if he won one state he’s unstoppable.

    1. Ben Lodes sorry not sorry, Bernie is a commie and doesn’t deserve respect for trying to sell that crap in America. And all these kids are buying his lying. He is believed by the deceived.

    2. 15k DOW 2022 your still talking about policies? Policies that are already passing in some states that have some republican support as well. Dr.king jr pushed the same ideas. What your going to point out the Castro thing? That wasn’t a good political move on his part just based of the fact how it’s been used against him but I am not going to act like I didn’t understand the point he was trying to make and I love the fact that he followed that up with denouncing all authoritarian regimes but that always gets left out. You say he doesn’t deserve respect for the good he has done because of his policies? Man I love our democracy! 🤨

    3. Ben Lodes Unlike you I tend not to conflate good with bad such as the terms Democratic and socialist. The nicer word doesn’t make the bad one better but the bad one absolutely makes the better one worse. That is what’s happening and exactly how Bernie is trying to frame his deceptions. 2nd example: Fidel Castro and literacy… he wasn’t teaching literacy to his political opponents that he imprisoned and killed. Get it? Of course you don’t

  3. Guys just go through the last 10 videos that they have uploaded on their channel. 7 out of 10 are about Biden. The corrupt people are coming together to make a person win the nomination who is a losing horse. They would rather have 4 more years of Trump than see Bernie gets elected.

    Increase your efforts by x10 to make your family and friends vote for Bernie.

    1. The DNC would rather have trump win than Americans get Healthcare and an Education. #ShameOnDNC #JoeWillLose #Bernie2020 #NotMeUs

    1. HE WON ALL OF MAYOR PETE AND AMY K’S DELEGATES. THE DEMON RATS NEED THIS TO PREVENT BURNIE FROM WINNING THE NOMINATION.

    1. @looes74 looes74 – As opposed to Biden that said ” I am running for Senator and if you don’t like me vote for the other Biden”……There wont be anymore ref to Trump’s mind if Biden is the nominee , that ‘s for sure !

    2. He didn’t win by a landslide in Nevada. Sanders won Nevada with 6,788 people voting for him (it was a small caucus state). South Carolina was a far more decisive win. 256,047 people voted for Biden in South Carolina compared to 105,197 that voted for Sanders. South Carolina ended Bernie’s chances IMO.

    3. @Mister G i am only interested if sanders can reduce trump base to 15% of all americans. Now trump has 45% of all american voters behind him. Can u reduce the figure? If not, even sanders win the nomination, bernie sanders will lose big to trump at nov 2020 polls. Thats the fact. Bernie bros must prove us wrong. Unfortunately, trump will win big. Thanks to bernie sanders and michael moore

    1. Trump is the youngest male in the Presidential race. Dems are always confused and out of touch.

    1. Yes it’s an evil conspiracy right? It has to be evil and it has to be a conspiracy , right? Because only evil people fail to utterly submit to comrade Bernie, right?

    2. @vasp99 Either you’re another miserable biased Bernie hater or you’re a willfully blind moron. Blurry line there to be honest…

    1. It was inevitable. People always made fun of Biden imploding in the past primaries, but he still got to the White House (as VP) — but Sanders has been imploding as a Senator for 30 years. His biggest achievement was naming a Post Office in Vermont — he only passed 7 of his bills in 3 decades…. Failed to pass the other 364 of them. Sanders has never been successful in his entire life.

    2. Democrats don’t want Bernie, he’s not really from their party. There is a socialist party in the USA, but it’s third party and the rules to get a third party on all 50 states is ridiculous. The two party system needs to end.

  4. I can’t believe I used to watch this show and I loved her! Now I feel like this show and MSNBC as a whole, is as distant to me as Fox News is. Too bad there isn’t a progressive channel.

  5. I don’t need the news telling me to vote for Biden.
    I need the news to report…who the people are voting for (Bernie)!

  6. Biden’s ‘Pivot Moment’…yeah…his first win in 30 years….now pit that against the wins all other world leaders have and Biden will further embarrass the country and nothing changes. Just another out of touch politician to ignore the masses.
    We The People want change – We The People want Bernie!

    1. Noise – that’s it, we gotta make some noise (and I am a boomer) – it has to be louder than the endless drivel pouring out of the MSM into middle and old age homes (those folks don’t do youtube or internet news). Somehow, if we could get progressive articles into the WPost or NY Times they might get to see it, but I pipedream. I see that as Bernie’s biggest challenge. He’s got policy and fundamental change locked up.

    2. @Joseph Willis Unfortunately Joseph you are correct…My parents took some convincing with their Fox & Friends going in the background constantly…I had to show them Trump’s continuous outbursts of racism and narcissistic remarks…My Mother called him a flat out liar and my Dad was shocked that this side of him is not shown on Fox.
      Here’s an idea to get YouTube into old folks homes – show the residents what Skype and FaceTime are so they can speak with their grandchildren…and oh look ‘here is YouTube grandma’…whats your favorite subject….then they’ll get to see outside the bubble! just a thought.
      Plus do they want their glasses and hearing aids for free like they deserve or not??

  7. oooooh! Oh boy! Biden wins one state, and you corporate media touts act like he’s annointed. Give me a break!

  8. BIDEN’S CLAIM TO FAME WAS WHEN HE WAS VOTED CLASS PRESIDENT IN HIS HIGH SCHOOL. EVERY ELSE IS A BLUR. I HOPE THAT HE WINS HIS SENATE SEAT.
