Bernie Sanders: Nominating Hillary Clinton would be ‘disaster’ for party, nation
By Ben Wolfgang – The Washington Times

(Wednesday, May 11, 2016) — Fresh off a big win in the West Virginia primary, Sen. Bernard Sanders‘ campaign said Wednesday the Democratic Party would be courting “disaster” if it nominates Hillary Clinton as its presidential nominee.

In a fundraising email to supporters, Sanders campaign manager Jeff Weaver cited recent polls showing the Vermont senator performing better against Republican Donald Trump in general election match-ups. Recent surveys have shown Mrs. Clinton virtually tied with Mr. Trump in the key battleground states of Ohio, Pennsylvania and Florida.

(May 10, 2016 05:35 a.m.) — Bernie Sanders stopped by The Late Show with Stephen Colbert Monday night and helped Stephen retrieve a candy bar that was stuck in a vending machine. In the opening segment of the show, the Senator from Vermont assured Colbert that there was no reason to give up on his delicious treat.

Unfortunately, the late night host didn’t share the same feelings about Bernie’s chances of becoming the Democratic nominee for president.

Capitol Journal Bernie Sanders’ idea for free tuition at public colleges deserves an A
By George Skelton, LAT

(May 9, 2016 12:05 am) — rnie Sanders wants everyone to be offered a tuition-free college education and he’s called crazy. America can’t afford it, naysayers scoff. He’s just pandering to young voters.

But too many of us in California forget: This state did provide tuition-free college for generations.

That helped California achieve greatness by broadening the middle class and providing opportunities for upward mobility not available in other states.

By Nathan Francis, Inquisitr.com

Sanders has fallen far behind front-runner Hillary Clinton, who now holds an edge of roughly 300 pledged delegates, but Sanders has been undaunted and has vowed to remain in the race until the final vote has been counted.

Bernie Sanders’ Day In West Virginia Reflects His Campaign In A Nutshell
By ABC News Radio

(May 7, 2016 09:00 am) — NEW YORK) — Bernie Sanders began his Thursday in one of the poorest, rural communities in America. “This isn’t a political rally,” he said, kicking off the event at a food bank in Kimball, West Virginia.

He called the meeting an “informal discussion” on poverty, and during the 90-minute town hall-style conversation, he did not mention rival Hillary Clinton once by name. He stuck to issues central to his campaign: inequality, wages, health care and extreme hardships felt by many across the country.

By Anis Shivani, Salon

(May 6, 2016 03:07 pm EDT) — Both parties ignored workers, spewed hate, enriched themselves, hollowed out democracy. Now the problem’s populism?

This week, on the night of the Indiana primary, I read one of the most loathsome political screeds it has been my misfortune to encounter.

It was an alarm bell raised by Andrew Sullivan, arguably the greatest hypocrite of the Bush era, on par with his partner in many crimes Christopher Hitchens (remember “Islamofascism?”). Sullivan proclaims that the election of Trump would be an “extinction-level” event. Well, perhaps it will be.

The Political Moment Finally Caught Up To Bernie Sanders’ Message
By Tamara Keith, NPR.com

(May 5, 2016 7:19 pm ET) — Back when Bernie Sanders’ campaign was just ramping up, and he was still giving speeches under covered picnic shelters to small groups of Democrats, he was talking about a political revolution.

“The only way we bring change to this country — and I’m the only candidate, I think, who will tell you this — is when we develop a strong, grass-roots movement that tells the people who today control America they can’t have it all,” Sanders said in June to a crowd of about 50 in a park outside Des Moines, Iowa. “This country belongs to all of us.”
