Sanders turns to Sharpton following NH win

February 10, 2016 at 11:51 am 1Lead Stories, News

(AP) – The Rev. Al Sharpton says he met one-on-one with Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders Wednesday at a Harlem landmark, where they discussed issues that affect the African-American community around the country.

Sharpton says, “I think it is very important that he sent the signal that on the morning after a historic victory…he would come to Harlem and have breakfast with me.”

Sharpton says the two men talked at Sylvia’s Restaurant about affirmative action, police brutality and the water disaster in Flint.

Sharpton adds that he and various heads of national civil rights organizations plan to meet with Clinton next week.

He says he won’t endorse a candidate until after that meeting with Clinton.

    I want to see Trump and Sanders nominated.

      Feb 10, 2016 10:54 AM

      I believe that the odds are pretty good for that to happen, Jason.

        Feb 10, 2016 10:36 PM

        I thought you said that Joe Biden was going to be nominated??

          Feb 10, 2016 10:32 PM

          I did and I firmly believed that could happen.

            Feb 10, 2016 10:53 PM

            It still may. I still don’t think Hillary will be the commies’ nominee

        Feb 10, 2016 10:11 PM

        Just heard Christy and Figorina have dropped out.

        I still think it’s way too early to say who’s going be the nominee for Emperor for either gang…er…I mean party.

        The PTB still have many tricks up their sleeves…so your only choice may still be between the Clinton-Bush crime families.

          Feb 10, 2016 10:32 PM

          I would be surprised.

        Feb 10, 2016 10:08 PM

        No way. The “fix” is in for Hillary. She has just as many delegates after the NH primary as Sanders does . . . because the “superdelegates are pledged to her.” Winning the votes of the democratic electorate means absolutely nothing.

        http://www.politicususa.com/2016/02/10/thanks-to-superdelegates-hillary-clinton-still-wins-after-getting-crushed-in-new-hampshire.html

          Feb 10, 2016 10:26 PM

          Very interesting. I heard the same thing for Trump. Even if he wins most or I think even all of the primaries he still can’t get the nomination because of this same issue.

          My suspicion is that come November the sheeple will do as they are told and elect one of the two crime family members.

            Feb 10, 2016 10:01 PM

            Eddie, see my comment to Phil.

          Feb 10, 2016 10:36 PM

          It would be kind of funny if Sanders got the nomination. Another Demonrat offering free health care. How did that work out last time?

            Feb 10, 2016 10:01 PM

            Depends on your particular level of success, Eddie.

          Feb 10, 2016 10:00 PM

          Good point, Phil. Let’s see if the will stick with it.

        Feb 10, 2016 10:37 PM

        Hey, it’s Bernie Sanders, not Colonel Sanders. 🙂

          Feb 10, 2016 10:50 PM

          Bernie is going to make Sharpton a Colonel in the chicken left wing party

            Feb 10, 2016 10:02 PM

            Okay, but Frank, he will have to use his own weapons!

            Feb 10, 2016 10:18 PM

            Colonel Sanders would be far better than Bernie Sanders!

            But if I had my way Jerry OOTB would be Prez. And if he couldn’t then I’d nominate Frank from Moscow.

            Feb 10, 2016 10:01 PM

            One and the same!

            Feb 10, 2016 10:59 PM

            If I had my way Jerry from Moscow…..Frank OOTB….The Claw Booty….The long would run for president as the new Colonel Sanders.

            Feb 10, 2016 10:07 PM

            He’d fry all those Washington chickens, put them in a bucket, and they’d be served…

            or they’d serve….time….for their crimes……

    Indy, I happen to agree with both of your comments. I would love to be a fly on the wall during the conversation between Rev Sharpton and Former Secretary Clinton!

      Feb 10, 2016 10:17 PM

      Clinton will offer Sharpton membership in the newly to be announce Kenyon Golf Club.
      Free membership , and he gets to play free with Barry. Also, might get an Embassy position. Of, course he will be protected.

        Feb 10, 2016 10:59 PM

        That is an interesting thought Frank. (Regarding a cabinet or embassy position)

    Feb 10, 2016 10:12 PM

    This morning’s breakfast was the conversation to hear – Al has known Hillary forever. It will be hard for “them” not to endorse her no matter how decent and honest Sanders is –

    Besides you would get some of those biscuits –;-}

      Feb 10, 2016 10:15 PM

      No socialist is decent and honest. The masses don’t know this because they don’t understand what socialism is. Nor do they care as long as they’re promised goodies.

        Feb 10, 2016 10:36 PM

        Miss Hillary can bake the cookies, Sharpton can bless them, and Bill can steal all he wants.

          Feb 10, 2016 10:08 PM

          Sharpton bless them? Sorry, no!

        Feb 10, 2016 10:27 PM

        I pretty much agree with you, but even Ron Paul seems to think Sanders is the best of a bad lot.

        http://www.politico.com/story/2016/02/ron-paul-ted-cruz-libertarian-218822

          Feb 10, 2016 10:54 PM

          That’s not saying much. Here’s what Paul said:

          “On occasion, Bernie comes up with libertarian views when he talks about taking away the cronyism on Wall Street, so in essence he’s right, and occasionally he voted against war,”

          ———-

          So Bernie talks about ending cronyism. Dubya and Reagan also talked a good talk at times for the benefit of the few Rs that have a brain. It was just talk and I guarantee that Bernie is also just talk. But I won’t get to enjoy being right because Bernie is not going to win. That’s not his role in this comedy.

          He voted against auditing the Fed, btw. That says it all, but it’s nuts to think that a socialist would have a problem socialism’s life blood in the first place.

            Feb 10, 2016 10:56 PM

            Socialism is the ultimate in cronyism.

            Feb 10, 2016 10:03 PM

            So true. I expect nothing good to happen in the US before it goes through the wringer in a very brutal way, and then we’ll see, if I’m still around at that point.

            The lowlife oligarchs have been poisoning the American mind in a conscious, deliberate campaign for over a century now, and I’m just not sure how the country can recover from that.

            Mark, where are you? I did you proud here!

            “Socialism is the ultimate in cronyism.”

            I agree, though many intelligent, well-meaning people fall for it. They can’t imagine, and refuse to entertain the idea, that socialism could actually be a trojan horse designed by the very people they despise to gather all power into a few hands.

            Feb 10, 2016 10:19 PM

            Intelligent but brainwashed people are very common. The poor fools don’t know that THEY are the extremists.

    Mr. Sharpton may believe he speaks for Black America. I doubt if the majority of them believe it and/or would follow his dictates on voting.

      Feb 10, 2016 10:03 PM

      Silver…I agree. I read somewhere that he is very wealthy.. So no ordinary black americans have anything in common with a rich black man who mixes with the elite.

      Feb 10, 2016 10:11 PM

      No matter the color, the ignorant masses vote against their own interests over and over and over again. They do so because they do not understand what their interests really are.

    Last I recall Carson was the popular choice here due to his mixing god with politics.
    It makes no difference, Trump has vowed the biggest most destructive army on the planet, basically furthering the neocon agenda
    He has said he will work with Putin, a ruse by the neocons me thinks.

    No idea about Sanders, other than he does his job of deluding people into believing they have some kind of choice well.

    Each vote, no matter who for, merely tells tptb how many suckers they still control.

    Americans are soft, they vote in leaders who give them to many entitlements and national holidays, the robots now numbering 260,000 in their factories are destroying their work ethic. If The Democrats get in nobody will work anymore you will just be a broke welfare nation.

        Don’t blame anyone but the people, the politicians get supported by the special interests but the public has been fed pablum and they love it, if they want a change and now they have a chance to assume a new course but the direction in The US is decidedly down, feed us but don’t expect anything else because that just is too hard, SOFT, SOFT!

      Feb 10, 2016 10:13 PM

      All I can say is that we do not have one holiday per month!

        Feb 10, 2016 10:26 PM

        I was thinking the same thing Big Al. Almost every study I have seen is the Americans actually get the fewest days of vacation compared to most developed countries. In Germany and France they take weeks and weeks off. Most people I know get 5 – 12 days off a year, and very few are national holidays (MLK day, Presidents Day, Labor day, Independence Day, and Memorial day are the the only official ones – sometimes there are segments that are off for Veterans day or Columbus day, but not most).

    I think I’ll pass on this site today. Come back tomorrow to see how much original material is posted.

      Feb 10, 2016 10:15 PM

      Thanks for sharing something original.

        Feb 10, 2016 10:37 PM

        +1 Matthew. Funny!

        It’s hilarious that someone neglects to see the advantage of everyone’s contributions and that many of the articles or quotes or charts that are “cut & pasted” would be too much for just 1 person to gather in a day. It makes this forum of ideas stronger to have many different ideas, viewpoints and editorials archived in one place. That is what Kitco, 321gold, zero hedge, KWN, and for that matter, a number of investment sites do. Only in this case they are crowd-sourced.

        However, to add to the arrogance, there’s the snide remark about passing until tomorrow to see how much “original” material is posted; and yet this person offered no original material themselves. Talk about the pot calling the kettle black.

        How about contributing some original thoughts and sharing versus whining about the many great ideas that were pasted here thoughtfully from others trying to share ideas?

    The decline and fall of The American empire, we all like to blame the government and the social welfare system that has produced this but nobody wants to see how or where the real blame lies and that is with human nature. Just give me something for nothing and I will vote for you. Is there no shame in being a recipient of government welfare whether corporate or personal, no is the answer until the system fails and then the finger pointing begins. Many years ago they abandoned mental health institutions because we were destroying human rights, well guess where all those people ended up in public housing, and they still can’t take care of themselves but the government has fooled people.
