Stabenow. She was not telling the truth, and it was making him mad. She was whining about how Bernie is damaging Hillary as a GE candidate by talking about her donations. I have seen the same nonsense on three different shows tonight.

One thing is certain... If the turn out gets turned away, we'll have a lot of interesting things to settle on the heels of that.

I sincerely HOPE that voter suppression is not what is going on.

important insights. Thom Hartmann has also complimented him repeatedly, and I sure do too.

I remember several years ago when he pointed out that simply helping people of color to vote more would flip many elections. I sent his cause one hundred dollars. I sure agreed with him about that.

He is a thoughtful person, one with passion. Great person to listen to!

Go Bernie!!!
