America needs to make Bernie happen. The only candidate that is not only not complete trash, but an actual great fucking person for the job. Dude is on point every time.

If you're just now old enough to vote, you are not old enough to remember that idealistic voters like you gave us GWB by voting for Ralph Nader.
I think Bernie has a good chance against trump. What was the polling 61% of Americans are terrified the thought of Trump being president. The Gop is pretty split, Trump could be cast off an independent. If not I don't see enough republicans voting down his line. Many conservative christians don't like him, which is more than understandable.
As of now I think Bernie's biggest obstacles are Hillary, and then Rubio if he somehow earns the republican ticket.
But I don't Bernie taking the dems ticket as throwing the election to the republicans. They are more split than ever, the left is moving away from hillary, and those that prefer her are likely to switch over to Bernie. Many on the middle right will move over to Bernie because he espouses many of the ideals that republicans used to hold before the party went so far right.
1. Mike will have a great political career, dude can really express an idea well.
2. This was a really great interview and Bernie is just too damn cool. As a Canadian, I found him very relatable, was not surprised to hear he lives in Vermont.
3. He sounds like Larry David as George Steinbrenner.

It's more sad that people keep thinking this. There's a lot of people who like Bernie most out of all the candidates, yet they are giving away their vote to Clinton come the primaries. It doesn't make sense, to be honest. Just vote for the best candidate, no matter what the outcome you or the media think could be.

Mike is killing it lately
how dare people vote for who they want to vote for!
(maybe if the democrats put forth a better candidate they would have won)
Great interview. Mike is an amazing interviewer, he is respectfully silent when the interviewed is talking and drives the interview when Bernie finished the thought and gives hard and right questions. Currently on the third video and Mike really asked whether Bernie can do what he wants to do. The two of them have great chemistry. I really hope Bernie get's momentum again against Clinton and that Killer Mike is successful with whatever he is doing in the future. Dude really could do well in a TV show like the Daily Show or something.

A guy like this will never be president.
Not with that attitude. If you like what he stands for tell people, show people interviews and speeches, his programs. You can move others. You can make the United States change.

Bernie is doing well to build a nest for future Socialism in the country.
Nader isn't why Gore lost the election. There were numerous reasons (electoral shenanigans, voter suppression, etc.), but really it was because Gore was as interesting as dry paint and the Democrats underestimated bush.

...in the general election. Not the primaries. There's a difference.
That's also true. It's a democratic act. We shouldn't be beholden to the ransom of lesser evils. It may be true that we are but you can't blame people from being so disgusted by it. In the end it's not their fault. The system is fucked, it's corrupt... Why blame young idealistic voters for it? I also hate the self fulfilling nature of the mentality that only the establishment candidate is worth voting for.

Heh, the opposite for me. I'm a huge Killer Mike fan. So this was really fantastic to see.
I already posted my thoughts on that sentiment. It's fine if you believe that, but you should act as though he will be. We don't want this to be a self-fulfilling prophecy due to disillusionment and apathy. And that's why stuff like this is critical.
Bingo. Even if he doesn't have a chance, pushing for him gets his ideas into the discussion. Don't lose sight of that.

He should be president though.
No. Don't do this.

That's precisely what primaries are for. Vote for whoever you want in them. Support who wins in the general.
