How much money has Bernie Sanders spent to make people know he exists? Is that any better? Different ways of doing the same thing, trump just seems to be more competent about it.

Anyway, the media didn't boost Trump, it was Trump who USED them: he did literally everything he already wrote in his book years ago and played them like fools.
Bernie on the other hand is just a crazy and boring old man, no one gives a shit about him other than young mentally impaired progressives.

Also, then left shitting their own pants because Bernie Sanders can't get free advertisement by saying anything deemed slightly insensitive because his entire campaign can be ruined by one poorly worded sentence. I guess he's feeling the Bern.
Funny, I think clinton gets more attention than bernie also.

it's like liberals forget the shit they did yesterday.

Household name, legacy, former president husband, novelty first woman president, etc.
Everyone seems to be able to figure out how to get free shit EXCEPT Bernie. Kind of ironic.

No candidate in history has been attacked as much by the media as donald trump.
>>74002647
Bernie Sanders didn't spend his own money but the money of his gullible supporters.
Trump is a lot smarter than hernie. Trump is making the RNC bend over, Hernie just screams at capitalism and wonders why he doesn't get any attention.

So he took from many people and gained nothing for anyone but billboards and words lost in space. Dat redistribution plan

>Bernie was a retard that thought if he played it by the books he would win in the end
If Trump had acted like Bernie we'd have fucking Jeb vs Hillary right now
Don't hate the player son hate the game

Seeing as how democracy is by definition mob rule of the idiots, I'd say it's working EXACTLY as intended.

Democracy works great in an educated intelligent society but it just becomes a system where the elite try to get as many stupid people into the country as possible knowing they'll vote stupidly.
He played the media like a god dam suck puppet, they should scream rape on how badly he fucked them.
