'The Frontrunner': Bernie Sanders Opens Up Big Delegate Lead After Nevada Blowout | MSNBC
the old school democratic players are no longer underwriting the game.
Bernie Sanders is the only future- we need a new ROOSEVELT.
@MrOneye no one cares about your morals. People want jobs and opportunity.
@Raptango_NA and that is exactly what Bernie Sanders is opposing. You’re telling me with the job markets that are out there you wouldn’t want to have the company you work for not offer you stock? Wouldn’t that be crazy that the company you work for you now have a sense of Pride and commitment because you own stock in that company? That question was asked to Bloomberg and Bloomberg said he wouldn’t do it neither would many multi-millionaire companies because they would like to give the profit only to the stockholders.? that’s what Bernie is offering. Why wouldn’t you back a man that’s never had wall street in his pocket? That makes no sense, that man is not for big companies, he’s for big workers. why wouldn’t you want a man that would fight companies to ensure that you had a better wage and a better pension? How are you so dense you can’t see that?
@Bruce Boring “Weak minded” ??? That’s a complete contradiction of term Liberal DOLT. The only Weak-minded people in America are Easily-manipulated, Corruption-accepting and Freebie-seeking Liberal DOLTS. Are you one of these Bruce? I know that your Liberal Indoctrination and Brainwashing is your downfall.
Come at me with better lines. Avoid the idiocy of typical Liberal DOLT YouTube Mental Midgets.
@Raptango_NA the average American will pay less. A family of four would pay about 9,000 a year less on average. The numbers have been run the policies are out there with numbers attached. Look it up for real.
Witness history in the making. The 7 stage of MSNBC grief
🤣
Witness the Bernouts grief when the DNC bitchslaps them and takes the nomination away from Bernie! 😂😂😂😂r
@MrChiangching they CAN’T
@MrChiangching Witness Bernie WINNING 🔥🔥🔥
Ari first fair assessment I’ve heard in a long time.
Ari is consistently fair, even if not everyone else is.
Bernie will Show Russia that we wont be Useful Fools anymore!
And Bernie will show the republicans too!
MrChiangching We’re all useless fools!
Stingjay 4000 Awww. Need a tissue sweety?
Sanders is a bolshevik socialist. The problem is that there too many uneducated intellectually lazy people. And he knows it. Sanders is a fraud.
@Loki Dog No, not a tissue but a brain.
I wonder if the establishment will see past their bias and notice it’s the people of the Democratic Party who have put Sanders in the lead. Maybe you wouldn’t be so shocked 😳
Well done, Ari, for reporting without the hysterical meltdowns of Chris Matthews and the fact-blindness of Chuck Todd.
Ari Knows better
And without the re-animated corpse of James Carville.
The only real journalist on MSNBC? Morning joe is watchable. the rest of MSNBC is💩. just liberal FOX
Cause hes not old and washed up like the other fools over at MSNBC
Super Tuesday is going to be a SLAUGHTER. California, Mass, VT, Texas… Everyone will become a Berniecrat by March.
The people have spoken!
BERNIE SANDERS IS DOIN’ A TOWN HALL MEETING ON CNN RIGHT NOW FROM 9PM-10PM NEW YORK CITY TIME FOLLOWED BY MAYOR PETE-BOOTY FROM 10PM-11PM THEN TOM STEYER FROM 11PM-12MIDNIGHT, COMIN’ SOON TO YOUTUBE MAYBE!!🆗✌😂
@Darren Orris
Reading compre hension, bud. I was not speaking of myself. I obviously know the difference between comm. and dem soc. I friggin’ stated so. Bernie can’t win in the general. But don’t get me wrong AGAIN. I’ll vote and tell everyone to vote for whoever wins the primary.
ANYBODY BUT TRUMP 2020
God I hope so, just to see Chris Matthews have a complete mental breakdown on air.
Loyalty to the party is not what we want. Loyalty to the people is what we want and Bernie is the only one for that.
Amen
word
Sanders Tlaib 2020
Bernie says he’ll fund his giveaway programs with higher taxes and lawsuits. I been laughing about this all evening after I heard it.
Bernie Sanders President 2020 🌅🌅🌅🌅🌅🍃🍃🍃🍃💙💙💙💙🗽🗽🗽🗽🗽💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
@Black Feel it’s a step in the right direction and bringing these subjects into the forefront will open debate on how to address them appropriately.
Black Feel Bernie is better then Stupid trump! Trump is the biggest liar in the world!
Free college, Medicare for all, green new deal, open borders all. Come on, that would destroy this country. You know that won’t work.
John Carter actually you things lost reality
@Black Feel Nothing is free boomer. He will raise taxes for middle class and the 1%. And, the Health-care he proposed will be a lot more cheap than the health care we have now. But that shows how much you know about “free stuff”. It’s all taxed and paid for.
Bernie Sanders will destroy Trump in Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Texas, and Florida.
@jeffw1267 You’re using and wasting good logic on intellectually lazy youngsters and dummies.
Florida???? Yeah, not likely.
@Michael Sanchez mainly in small towns here trump wins. In major cities like miami, tampa bay and college towns democrats win here.
@jeffw1267 we have socialism in our country already but republicans know it is an easy trigger word to scare and control weak minded people like you
Everybody who believes in freedom and justice should vote for Bernie Sanders because after all, hindsight is 2020.
A shout out to Bernie supporters for not reactively bashing the MSM before watching a fair piece. It’s nice to see Bernie getting fair coverage, good job Ari.
@Randy Couch This is why Trump loves your support so much, clueless moron.
Chris Hayes has been fair too.
Randy Couch It’s not “free stuff “ you moron, it’s called getting back for what we pay into.
@Randy Couch you’ll vote against your own interests just to get back at those “Looney left”
Trump paid his prostitutes
Ari and Rachel are the only respectable ones left on MSNBC
Jalen He supports M4A because he is Canadian and his family and friends in Canada are not going bankrupt because of medical bills like we do here in the US. Universality in all social programs is the way to go. Everyone benefits equally and once the wealthy are forced into M4A and they realize that their quality of care has not diminish, they will look for ways to make it more efficient.
Don’t forget Chris Hayes 🙂
exchange rachel with chris hayes
I think Steve Kournaki is good too, he’s a Seattle guy and hasn’t had a chance to really be out front.
@Deep State he’s good too as a data guy. sadly they do try and control him when he goes ‘off message’
The socialist candidate will defeat the criminal incumbent!
@Bronte they have proven over and over they will ignore corruption and lies as long as the politician is a republican a perfect example was duncan hunter in the midterms he was indicted for campaign violations before the election and they still reelected him
@Street fighter When the fool posts comments on YouTube he doesn’t know how to not post the same comment twice.
@Randy Couch did you pull that off of a fox cereal box before typing it? Lmao
@Super Tramp Very well said.
@Bruce Boring No argument whatsoever. But it sounds “deep.” Lol.
“Bernie Sanders is the clear front-runner” — See, was it really that hard to say?
Ikr
Front runners who get a wide gap majority support don’t even need the help of delegates
😁
Chuck Todd: “Noooooooooooooooooooo, he’s not. He’s not. How can anyone say that?”
That noise you hear the background is Chris Matthews slamming his balls into a door
“Just put me up against the wall and shoot me now! My outdated politics are still relevant, change is scary!”
That’s the most I’ve laughed at a news comment in months, thanks jim
lol
Is this really MSNBC? He is about to lose his job for actually doing his job lol 😂
Bernie would never “pledge full loyalty” to the current Democratic Party because most of the party elite are corporate stooges. #EatThatDNC! #Bernie2020!
I’m amazed that MSDNC would ever put this on line. The reckoning is delicious.
Ari is the only reason why I chimed in..
You can get rid of the quotation marks now, guys. He’s actually the frontrunner.
