Bernie Sanders Comes to Northern Nevada

The veteran politician has long self-identified as a democratic socialist. And for years, liberals have accused Republicans of being fascists.

Manchester United chiefs don’t want Jose Mourinho as manager
That prospect increased yesterday as United ran up a fourth straight defeat under the increasingly embattled Louis Van Gaal. Mourinho has been offered an offer to replace Madrid’s current manager Rafael Benitez as soon as possible.

Although public opinion polls have been scant in Nevada, a CNN survey in October found Clinton with the support of 50 percent of likely caucus-goers, with Sanders at 34 percent. “Bernie’s message speaks to people who feel in that frustration, yet instead of channeling it towards hatred and xenophobia, offers voters a forward-looking and hopeful vision for the future”.


Packers: Aaron Rodgers weathers challenging season for offense
He isn’t planning on rolling out any new garments this week, figuring playing for the division crown is motivation enough. Getting a few sacks on Aaron Rodgers will go a long way in keeping Green Bay’s offense from getting anything going.

Sanders said he’s concerned that national Republicans presidential front-runner Donald Trump has loosed back-roomed racism into the public square, green-lighted it to risky acceptability at rallies. Will it work? Lawrence O’Donnell speaks with fmr. Both have accused his rivals as being within the pocket of special pursuits, arguing for a scientific overhaul – they only disagree on what the country ought to look like afterward.


New Eastern Settlement Plans ‘Invalid’
Israel blames the ongoing violence on Palestinian incitement; Palestinians say it stems from despair at achieving independence. Israel says 88 of them were attacking or attempting to attack Israelis while the rest died in clashes with Israeli troops.

It would make everybody in America poorer -you’re doing away with the concept of a nation state, and I don’t think there’s any country in the world that believes in that.

He also stated that King Abdullah of Jordan and other Muslims have said that they need to fight to get their religion back, and Sanders wants to let them do that with only the American aid they need.

Further, Sanders said health care is a right of all people, and that the government should create millions of jobs.

If the weather is bad, if Bernie energizes some Iowa crowds, and if Clinton makes another one of her ham-handed unforced errors, then Sanders could edge out Clinton in the Iowa caucus. But he dismissed other surveys as “not so accurate” that say he’s trailing by much more.

“I believe we’ve got to take on the oil companies and the coal companies and transform our energy system”, Sanders said. The campaign even prepared a script specifically for the situation.

Sanders stressed that America is the wealthiest country in the history of the world, but over the last 30 years the redistribution of that wealth has been going in the wrong direction and now, one-tenth of the top 1 percent of America’s wealthiest people possess that.

Sanders’ campaign is directly targeting Trump supporters, seen here today with their candidate in SC, when it sends its volunteers door-to-door. Three of the eight superdelegates in Nevada have pledged their support to Clinton: U.S. Rep. Dina Titus, Las Vegas State Sen. It’s not often these days that one hears a Democratic politician make a direct play for older white male voters, but for Sanders, it’s becoming an increasing part of his rallying cry. On a televised appearance on December 8, Sanders responded to a wide swath of his critics’ arguments, including defending his views on ISIS and climate change, which he called a “planetary crisis”. “It’s just never been the case that independents have really swung an election for a candidate here”, he noted. She is what’s known as a superdelegate – Democratic Party leaders and elected officials who count as a single vote at the convention. Only about 4 percent to 5 percent of the undeclared electorate was genuinely up for grabs between the parties in most recent election when both parties had contested primaries, according to Smith. It’s a claim tailor made for him and yet he failed.

In an interview before the rally Tuesday night, Sanders acknowledged that he’s probably down “seven, eight points” to Clinton, or roughly the margin the Des Moines Register/Bloomberg Politics poll had recently.
