Bernie's going on Fox
quote:
In a recent interview with the Huffington Post, Sanders said: “When I go on Fox, what I will say is, ‘Look, many of you voted for Donald Trump, but he lied to you. He told you he was gonna provide healthcare for everybody. Yet his policies are to throw 30m people off of the health insurance they have …’

“How do you explain that to people who voted for Trump if you don’t talk to people who voted for Trump?”

Asked in the same interview if he believes the network is a “propaganda arm” of the White House, Sanders replied: “In most respects, I think it is.”

I didn't watch, so I have no clue whether Vox's take is partisan, spot on, or (most likely) something in-between.

IMO, all the Dem candidates should go on Fox News. What are they afraid of?

I can see why they would want to pick their opportunity, but they should go. If I were a candidate, I'd have to steer clear of Sean Hannity, for example. Being arrested for slapping the smirk off of his smug face wouldn't serve my campaign well. Just an example. Big Grin

Republican strategist Karl Rove says Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) could defeat President Trump in 2020.

In an opinion piece in The Wall Street Journal Thursday, Rove cited Sanders's performance at a Monday town hall on Fox News, during which the audience applauded his calls for "Medicare for All."

“When only 37% of Americans in the RealClearPolitics average think the country is going in the right direction while 56.4% think it’s on the wrong track, Mr. Sanders could be perceived as an agent of change,” Rove wrote.

“If he is the Democratic nominee, Mr. Trump’s task will be to convince Americans that a socialist turn would be a ruinous change. Based on Monday’s town hall, that won’t be as easy as Republicans may think. Mr. Sanders is a real contender,” he added.

Rove wrote that Sanders showed he has improved as a candidate since 2016, citing how he sidestepped a question about whether he benefitted from the Republican tax cuts to focus instead on Trump's refusal to release his own returns.

Rove added that Sanders had learned how to “smooth socialism’s rough edges" and now had a message focused on economic disparities that resonated with voters.

This is my view.

So there’s the Bernie approach, take your appeal to all the people, and then there’s Warren’s, with echoes of Hilary’s ‘deplorables’ talk.

Would love to see that slap.
Agree that the other Dems should be on Fox.
