Disagree. I think this 60 minutes interview is going to last a couple of news cycles. The heat is turning up.
Here's a progressive one.
shyt like this is disingenuous as fukk. Guttenberg is a one-issue activist who hates Bernie because he's moderate on gun control (something that will HELP him in among working-class voters in red/purple states). He's been caught lying on Bernie repeatedly, even blaming him for the Parkland shooting when Bernie has been on record for 30 years in support of an assault weapons ban.
The fact that you would use that and claim it is evidence of anything just shows that you're latching on to whatever narratives support the tale you want to hear. What use is the opinion of a random Twitter voice who as no expertise in the area and is already biased for a completely unrelated reason? I'm not blaming Guttenberg for being emotional, he has a reason to be emotional, but projecting his voice as if he's an expert on something he knows nothing about is completely irresponsible.
I don't think Republicans are concerned about losing Texas if Bernie is the nominee even with the hispanic outreach. Beto lost to Cruz by 200k votes and Trump is more popular than Cruz in this state. Bernie also has an immigration stance to the left of Beto and opposes fracking unlike Beto.
And Beto was anti-gun - how does that do in Texas?
The good thing for Democrats in Texas is due to old White folk dying and Hispanics coming of age it literally gets bluer every year. Urban white voters seem to be trending bluer there too. Just look at the poll numbers.
I believe Bernie's current high favorables come from the fact that most Americans still think of Bernie as "the independent that took on evil Hillary and got screwed by the party". When they hear about how extreme his policies/views are, suburban voters who voted D in 2018 are going to run back to the GOP faster than you can believe. From a Texas Democrat’s perspective who is hopeful about the possibility of flipping the legislature, I'm not enamored with any of the candidates helping getting this done, I personally support Warren, she shares many of his policy proposals, but I believe there are distinct negative implications running a “socialist” at the top of ticket.
Why is it that Bernie shows up to right-wing outlets like the Fox News town hall and Joe Rogan's show, spends the entire time explaining his policies up front, and people love him?
Why is it that Bernie has consistently been the only candidate whose likability numbers increase the more that people get to know him?
What is up with the anti-moderate sentiment on this site. Without moderates, Dems don't take back the House in '18 and none of Trump's crimes get exposed.
