|| By FITSNEWS || Bernie Sanders – the independent socialist U.S. Senator from Vermont who has overtaken scandal-ravaged Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton in New Hampshire – will be traveling to early-voting South Carolina next week.
Sanders will visit the Palmetto State on Friday and Saturday, part of a four-city swing intended to bolster his prospects.
While Sanders has all the momentum nationally – especially in light of Clinton’s escalating email scandal – a poll taken earlier this month found Clinton still trouncing him in South Carolina by a 10-to-1 margin.
In other words he’s got some work to do in the “First in the South” state …

i wonder how times he will get the microphone taken from him? Real strong leader that guy is.
He took those lemons and turned them into lemonade. He actually listened and let them speak. It’ll only help him. Here’s a guy who can draw a crowd instead of hiring one like Trump and Co.
They pelted him with lemons?
Saving that for Trump and Bush. They’ll really look foolish when confronted by #blacklivesmatter. Oops, Bush already did. Trump doesn’t have the balls. lol
At least he’s not shouting the same shit and won’t let anyone else talk. We need a leader who will listen to the people that isn’t bought and sold by big oil, Wall Street, Kochsuckers.
Which one of those freebie craving, sign waving dopes in the picture is you? Whatsamatter, can’t make it in this big,bad world without him taking someone else’s stuff to give to you?
Yelling ‘socialist’ and all that other blarggle won’t cut it anymore. Might work on scared fools like you, but most people are smarter than that these days. So keep yelling. You just sound like all the other blowhards that’ll be left behind.
Ok.. Yell this then. What happens when everyone becomes a dependant? The socialism idea forgets one important fact. Such as what happens when all the producers figure out they can sit on their ass too? Fact is people like me who run businesses will stop running businesses once socialism makes it impossible to better ourselves… That will turn the spiggot of free money off… Back to that ole supply and demand you ignored in your high school economics class.
Its the same old crap. They just say the same things over and over. The duped class. They really believe those billionaires that have taken over the Republican party really give a crap about anything other than rapeing this country. You can’t fix stupid.
Thanks to LBJ and the Great Society it is now OK to take from the producers and give to the parasite class. As more and more of the weak minded join the parasite class it will only get worse till we either take our country back or it is all gone. That is why this election is so important. We are at the tipping point.
No, he is shouting complete and total socialism. I looked into him, hoping for an alternative. He appears left of Obama. No, not same American sh*t, but same other country failing sh*t.
Dude, he’s been a leader for over fourty years…
Riiiight, a real live Ted Kennedy this ……, what is his name again? Kruschev?
Drunk already?
“WEEKEND WITH BERNIE” — one of my favorite movies!
That’s odd, I just realized that they both share the same personality.
Somebody needs to open a concession selling geezer stuff. Walkers, canes, pep pills and the like. LOL
If you’re gonna do it right, do it the commie way and make sure it’s the lowest quality crap and give it away.
Probably a good idea, you could probably pick up some cheap left overs from the last Silver Elephant Dinner. They must have been swimming in those things.
Sanders Shamelessly Pandering to Voters Who Want to Hear Truth
BY ANDY BOROWITZ
CONCORD, NEW HAMPSHIRE (The Borowitz Report)—Presidential candidate Bernie Sanders is gaining legions of new admirers by shamelessly pandering to voters who want to hear the truth, critics of the Vermont senator say.
According to those critics, Sanders has cynically targeted so-called “truth-based voters” to build support for his Presidential bid.
“People come to Sanders’s rallies expecting to hear the truth, and he serves it up to them on a silver platter,” the political strategist Harland Dorrinson said. “It’s a very calculated gimmick.”
But while Sanders’s practice of relentlessly telling the truth might play well in states that are rich in truth-based voters, like the early primary states of Iowa and New Hampshire, critics say that his campaign could stall in states where the truth has historically been less important, like Florida.
“At some point in this campaign, voters are going to get truth fatigue,” Dorrinson said. “Right now, the novelty of a politician who doesn’t constantly spew lies is grabbing headlines. But after months of Bernie Sanders telling the truth, voters are going to start wondering, Is that all he’s got?”
Dorrinson is just one of many critics who is eagerly waiting for the Sanders phenomenon to come down to Earth. “Telling the truth may be working for Bernie Sanders, but it shows a serious lack of respect for the American political system,” he said.
