'Thousands in Midwestern GOP Districts Attend Sanders' First Stops on Tour to Fight Oligarchy'

"After addressing more than 3,400 Nebraska residents in Omaha Friday evening, U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders on Saturday made his second stop on his National Tour to Fight Oligarchy—telling Iowa City, Iowa residents that 'Trumpism will not be defeated by politicians inside the D.C. Beltway.'"

"'For better or worse, that is not going to happen,' said the Vermont Independent senator, whose broadly popular policy proposals have long been dismissed by Democratic leaders as unrealistic and radical while President Donald Trump has increasingly captured the attention of the working class Americans who would benefit most from Sanders' ideas."

"'It will only be defeated by millions of Americans in Iowa, in Vermont, in Nebraska, in every state in this country, who come together in a strong grassroots movement and say no to oligarchy, no to authoritarianism, no to kleptocracy, no to massive cuts to programs that low-income and working Americans desperately need, no to huge tax breaks for the wealthiest people in this country,' said Sanders."

when he there. I have always loved Bernie. I believed he would have been a great president. The mitten wearing bird whisperer. He will reach the red state people who are awakening from their propagandized slumber. Hopefully, enough will learn and turn away from MAGA.
