And is still a contender. That's a little bit different than trying to overcome Bloomberg's numbers.

It's not a bad move. There are contrarians out there who were attracted to Dump or Hannity or some of the other Hitler Youth because they are angry and just want to light the establishment on fire. Bernie can get some of those votes.

Not bad at all. Talking to the perceived other side is the only way to restart the conversation in the country. (Right now the sides are talking past each other.)

And Kep isn't wrong, Bernie may catch some disgruntled folks looking for a different option.

The people who watch Fox aren't interested in a conversation. They want an auto-da-fé.

No. The Republicans have no interest in governing or talking. Don't lay this at the feet of Democrats.

Meh, what do you expect a GOP voter to say? They have to justify their moral cowardice to themselves by retreating behind Bothsiderism. If they were the kind of people who could recognize the magnitude of the crime they were enabling... they wouldn't be enabling it.

While potentially correct...I'm still not sure its wise. My thinking is that those votes that Bernie would get are more valid for the national election rather than the primaries. At this point, he risks more backlash from some primary voting (and admittedly out of touch) Dems than he would pick up Fox watchers. Thinking the risk is higher now and the better potential pay off for Fox is later in the cycle after Fox races to establish credibility in the run up again.

All the candidates should go on Faux. You cant ignore the Echo Chamber being there is the only way they will hear something that isnt part of the GOP Talking Points. Just because 99/100 wont care and will foam at the mouth over it doesnt mean it is worthless. It is important and a smart play.

This.

If I happen to be in a hotel that week, I'll tune in, but I don't get cable at home and I'm not going to some Bernout watch party. Worst case, I pirate it from YouTube like a real ansoc. :p

Tim Ryan jumps in, the one other Democrat left in Ohio, I believe.

You arent going to find a candidate that doesnt have something you dont like...and if you do chances are they get smoked anyways.
