Bernie Sanders' campaign has effectively created its own online video network — streaming every rally since a kickoff event in Brooklyn last spring. And the numbers are big: more than 85 million views over the course of the campaign.

The money the livestream raises is ultimately"negligible" in the grand scheme of the Sanders campaign budget, according to Shakir, the campaign manager — $55,000 the night Sanders won Nevada, $85,000 when the campaign streamed a Strokes concert the night before the New Hampshire primary. "You know, how does that make you feel? How does that make you feel to see your comment up there, getting other people excited?" she said."All we're doing is producing more opportunity for people to feel like they're not alone."That mindset makes sense to Daniel Kreiss, a political scientist at the University of North Carolina's Hussman School of Media and Journalism who has written two books about digital organizing on presidential campaigns.

The totally aging Democrat party leadership, are doomed, as there party gets hi-jacked by far left wacky. There too old to fight the hi-Jacking and just go along with the new flow. Even when it, flipped flopped, there believes, now called there past. Shameful.

I’m in my mid 30’s. I’ve voted in every election since I was 18. Was super excited, then disappointed with Obama. Tomorrow for the first time ever I am volunteering for a campaign. I’ll be knocking on doors for Bernie until March 10 primary. Feel The Bern!!!

I’m concerned about Bernie’s stance against small business people. Lets believe in our ability as humans to raise everyone. Bernie wants you to accept less. It’s not about deserving, it’s about encouraging your brother to be more. anybodybutbernie2020!

oh joy... another way to hear him whine about billionaires over and over and over and over ... and then avoid explaining how he will pay for anything or get anything passed.

He’s a phony Democrat with a messianic complex. Having said that, if he gets the nomination he will also get my time and money because the BaffledChildPresident is worse!

LOL we know who you vote for now so depending who you vote for on 2020 might determine what side of the wall you're on LOL!!

Bernie Sanders wants to build a bigger plantation. That’s the only difference between him and a real Democrat

Oh let him have his day. This is his last attempt. He won't even make it to the general election. The Democratic establishment will not let him. Super delegates. Why would they He is not a Democrat.

BERNIE (the loopy great grandpa) is the there’s a TAX for that KING! The last guy who did that lost the nation in a revolutionary war! NO ONE will stand for that Great Grandpa CUBA KING Bernie! If you try and tax our tea we might get frisky🤬! We Like MIKE! MikeBloomberg

I don't support him at all. Far from it. Nevertheless, he's got the idea of how to campaign in the 21th century. Nearly everyone else is still locked in the past one.

And Bernie has still not present how he plans to handle a 60 Trillion budget.

Bernie, though I love his tenacity, cannot beat trump in a general election. At this point it doesn’t look like we have a chance

Propaganda

82 million views were by TV pundits....

Yea because no one watches corporate media unless they have too. Enjoy having your Bank of America rep on to say why he’s not voting for Bernie lol.

Bernie is just going to get us 4 more years of Trump.

Sounds similar to the fledgling Trump TV of 2016. When you don’t like media coverage just create your own media network? Am I right?

Yeah, but if you add up all the views of all the videos from the other candidates you will see that Bernie isn't actually that popular and 85 million is really just a small number.

Indoctrination at its finest...

Opinion | Trump versus the CoronavirusFrom WSJopinion: A coronavirus crisis would be a make-or-break test for Trump. But it also imperils the core of Bernie Sanders’s candidacy—Medicare for All, writes DanHenninger. opinion DanHenninger It makes clear why we need a healthcare system that ensures everyone can get the treatment they need. opinion DanHenninger Sounds like a really hot take because at first glance it sure seems like Medicare for All would help with threats like coronavirus in like 10 different ways opinion DanHenninger Sure, because everyone being covered now sure sounds like a bad idea, because everyone can afford a $1400 COVID-19 test that insurance won't cover.
