Progressives Are Flocking to Bernie Sanders — Here’s Why

Bernie Sanders is changing things. His willingness to take on Wall Street and to stand up for ordinary Americans, not the billionaire class, has him growing in the polls at a rate that the establishment cannot understand.

Ring of Fire’s Mike Papantonio and Farron Cousins discuss this.

because there aren't (imo) enough progressives to flock, let alone swarm (which is what we need) to Bernie.

I've been to see both Hillary and Bernie and let me tell you that Bernie has all the enthusiasm with his crowds. Hillary was like a prep rally with people coming to see a novelty.

Sanders is sharp, quick, highly skilled politically but in an entirely different way. A fighter too as I saw in Arlington last night, which I respect.

He has great stamina and endurance, integrity, the welfare of the people on his side and is no fool.

Do not underestimate Bernie Sanders, former long distance runner.
