    I still cant believe they threw him under the bus for Biden
  • @Rhaifha
    I also find it interesting how Sanders starts with the context, I guess he knows that if he starts with the answer ("Yes, but") people are only going to listen to the first bit and then tune out the nuance. Embedding the answer in the context encourages people to see the nuance (and makes it harder to cut it in a way that misrepresents him).
  • @juliannad1010
    i wish bernie was younger so he still had a few more tries :(
  • i wonder if they're consciously aware of the mechanisms of speaking that they use, or if they've just evolved organically throughout their careers ??
  • @user-hg8jz6pp4n
    It’s worth noting, that’s about the 500th time he’s answered that exact question. Several times a day. He’s really honed it to be effective, even more so since then.
  • Bernie Sanders. The greatest President that the United States never had. As a non-American, I'm sorry you missed out on what could have been. Nearly everything he was proposing are things that are taken for granted in many other developed countries.
  • @viggo8213
    Imagine president sanders. Imagine a just world. Imagine a sensible America.

    How Bloomberg answers a question: So how much money do I have to throw at you too get to support me?
  • @mitchcnnn
    Bernie sounds like a rapper with a beat behind him.
  • @m3talh3ad18
    He is an honest politician. Which is also why he wouldn't ever be in real power. Because many people wouldn't want to see that happen.
  • @nielslund5959
    It's not HOW he answers a questions. He ANSWERS questions. That's it.

    Every high school speech teacher: "Write that down! Write that down!"
  • @gurjotsingh8934
    Stephen: asks a question . . . Nerdwriter: after rigorous analysis of a sophisticated contextual answer 'What a stupid question'.
  • Sorry Bernie, you have to have a population with common sense for your plan to work
  • @thealgerian3285
    I mean, free healthcare sounds nice and everything, but 4 years of Larry David playing the president on SNL is where it's at.

    How Biden Answers a Question: "come on man!"
  • @aarons8711
    Jesus Christ, imagine having to do a break down of Biden’s speaking style ‘Yeah it’s bad, it’s real bad, no this guy is falling asleep on his feet... we’re screwed ‘
  • Sanders had a rare gift: formidably detailed knowledge of policy combined with easy, colloquial language. Therefore, he can inform his audience without sounding different from them.
