Sanders supporters....hold your heads high.

No matter what happens in the end, we can be proud we support such a principled, authentic human being. It no longer matters what Bernie`s detractors say. It doesn`t matter how many times a day mainstream media refuse to give Bernie the credit he`s due. It doesn`t matter how much influence Democratic Party Headquarters stack on the side of Bernie`s opponent. A large chunk of voters look at the power, the corporate cash, the surrogates, the handlers, the consultants, the DNC, the media used against Bernie Sanders and respond with.....What else you got? Here`s another $27.00 for Bernie.

Bernie is right. This is a people-propelled, bottom-up movement. We`ll leave the coronation to the party planners.

It's incredible to me to think back to the summer, when Bernie first started taking off, and the detractors said things like "He'll never get above 20% of Dems"..."He'll only win one state, VT, maybe two with NH". What a long strange trip it's been since then!!!
