Dem voters: Bernie Sanders Can Beat Trump And 'Republican Decoy' Bloomberg | MSNBC
Bloomberg, the Republican decoy. Yep, that’s right.
Wonder Why The Democrats Let That Loser In With The Rest Of The Losers.
🎼 Let’s talk about math baby, let’s talk about heath for free, let’s tax the 1 % and bring an end to POV-ER-TY. Let’s talk about math! 🔥 🐦 🎼
considering the GOP fears Bernie, n the Dems don’t like him, I can find nothing to dislike about Bernie
@George Constanza you wish. I want to get rid of Trump badly, but don’t want another turd to replace him.
I can’t vote Sanders. ANYONE but Sanders.
@David Lee you do realize that sanders is essentially the anti-trump?

@David Lee Only Sanders 👍✔😊
wjack571 lol except he would destroy this country! Open boarders means more crime more drugs more disease. But you must be hooked on free stuff! Lol socialism NEVER WORKS!
Bernie got this
I really like this format. Seemed like a rational and levelheaded back and forth for the most part.
@Jeff Goddin True & Extend the convos
It is nice to actually hear the voice of every day folks instead of just NUMBAH POLLS. Seems more useful to gauge how we’re feeling.
It was enjoyable to hear and well reasoned.

Bernie & Congress/Senate is NOT mutually exclusive . Bernie election ostensibly would mean higher turnout which translates into MORE down-ballot Democratic wins, not less . That’s a corporate media false equivalency, and as the one commenter observed: A SCARE TACTIC !
@JoeyFiveandDimes Not to mention state elected seats as well as state legislatures, governorships, and city mayorial position. The Sanders Movement is a PEOPLE’S MOVEMENT to tranform government by electing representatives who AREN’T corrupt because corruption will ALWAYS work against the will of the people.
This was really great MSNBC glad to see some perspective from voters!
Already voted for Bernie. I’m not red or blue.
Nina Levill : If Bernie does get the nomination, how is going to combat all the people in between the coasts ( minus a handful of states ) and out of the big cities who absolutely do NOT want the democrat / liberal alternative they are witnessing right now ? I’m in Indiana and Bernie would be lucky to carry 4 counties out of 92. The same can be said for a whole of other states.
@Gary Campbell I hear you and you’re right about some places like Indiana but let me alleviate some of you’re concerns. When it all boils down to it…Trump is a fake populist. When he goes up a real populist like Bernie…his record and lies (to the American people) will be on full display and he will lose. Whether you agree with Bernie or not…the people trust him to do what he says he’s going to do. He is anti establishment and everybody knows that. Even trumps supporters.
V ……………… I’m kind of pink and beige, and voted early for Bern, CA .
Diana B ……………. I think you could benefit from a basic Cuban literacy program.
Gary C …………….. You have my pity – living in Indiana . An evolutionary time-delay exists there .
Wow that was enjoyable, Ari really getting the facts out and bringing the enthusiasm
“I’m always nervous when there’s only white people in the room.”
@UBER J #FUCKYOU
@UBER J nah you need to stop worrying about what white people think of you
UBER J – it wasn’t “cringey” of her.
don m …………. Me too . A room full of exclusively white people increases the ‘dumb factor’ exponentially .
Bernie 2020…
Begone troll.

@Deborah Freedman Everyone is a troll that disagrees LOL
@Deborah Freedman Pipe down, Jenna Abrams.
Polls show Bernie is the only candidate who is consistently beating Trump in the states we need to take in November. If it were anyone else the media would be cheering. Instead they are clamoring to stop him. Why is that?
You know, I thought the whole, “Media against Bernie.” thing was a bit of an overstatement that was possibly attached to the nonsensical Trump “fake news”, then I had the unfortunate realization it wasn’t.
Bernie 2020!!!
Keep doing these types of interviews!
Bernie can do it – news has to be on board
Why should they report lies?
Highly recommend doing more segments like this
This was a great format, MSNBC and Ari. More of this, please. Liquor them up and hear the truth!
I actually really like this. I appreciate people saying that we have to listen to the young people because this country will be our future
Most young people want things handed to them. When the older generation is gone, the millennials will whither away, eat their pets, because there’ll be no money left. Bernie will be dead, he won’t care about your future socialist utopia.
Sure, we should listen to people with a total ignorance of history.
You won’t have a future if you nominate the guy that loses 49 states to Trump (like the ultra liberals that ran in 1972 and 1984 — A liberal Democrat losing 49 states not only is possible, it happened twice already). Four more years of Trump will be devastating to young people.
Sanders
2020

Bernie is our best bet 💚💪🏼
Man they love to hate Bernie… I’m going Bernie !!!
“I’m always concerned when there’s only white people in the room” – the most racist party, the democrats.
LOL I’m guessing you spend a lot of time with only white people.
@PS Wright Is that a bad thing, you racist?
Harlem Gentrified. Democrats are the party of the KKK
