Bernie Sanders: beneficiary of the left's spreading "Anybody but Hillary" sentiments?

[Preacher]

Self-avowed Socialist Bernie Sanders has been drawing surprisingly large crowds at his rallies. Yet he has offered nothing but the usual tired "I'll fight for you, tax the rich, and give you goodies" mantra the leftists always come up with.

What can be behind his inexplicable popularity?

Could it be that it is not so much that he is popular, but that the Left cannot find anyone else to rally around?

The leftists are understandably tired and distrustful of anyone named Clinton, after decades of their promises followed by failure, diversion, and lies. It would not be surprising if they are starting to look elsewhere... and there is no "elsewhere" except Bernie.

Bernie Sanders isn't offering anything the other leftist fanatics aren't also offering, just phrasing it slightly differently, while presenting a face most of them haven't seen before.

With the sad state of the Democrat party today, that might be all someone needs to get ahead. If their big-govt-dependent voters can look at a candidate and say, "Well, at least THIS one hasn't gotten caught in a bunch of lies and let us down yet", maybe that can fill some auditoriums.

When your ship is sinking behind you and you are swimming frantically away, ANYTHING that still floats can look pretty good to you.

Well for one thing, sanders speaks out against the unconstitutional tpp, which most all republicans, and way too many democrats, are for. I think the so called liberal media has a blackout about it because it's hardly mentioned anywhere. It was the last straw for me thinking obama was a half decent guy, and hillary is afraid to mention it of course, since her big donors probably told her "hands off the tpp".

There is nothing unconstitutional about it.
Hillary came out against it, despite having worked on it as SecState and supported it.
Bernie has been consistently against free trade, which brings jobs to the US. Bernie is against average workers.

If anyone needed proof republicans are fucking idiots there it is. Free trade brings jobs to America folks! Did you know that!? Talk about one big fucking lie.

I think "free" education is a good investment.

How many checks have you written for other people's education, to support your belief?

I didn't think so.
