My wife surprised me yesterday (new voter)...

...We were out eating and she asked me what I wanted to accomplish in this year of our marriage. It's not like our anniversary was recent or anything, but everyone in awhile you set goals, right? I said "I'd like to convince you to vote!" Her response was that because of the debates we've watched (which is all of them except one Republican debate), she registered the other day and will be voting for Bernie!

Between that, and my Republican mother indicating support for Bernie, something good is happening. While Hillary continues to alienate and insult who she needs as her base, Bernie is bringing more people into the party. He's out best shot at a huge turnout. Let's hope he makes it!
