9 months ago, Bernie had less than 10 percent support, and he did not turn on the gas until 5 months

ago. Hillary has been running for President since the early 2000's, with her running for Senator, etc.

So be aware of the huge, huge progress made in such a short time -- especially when the Media ignored/marginalized Bernie. Even now, the media does not show Bernie's large rallies, his marches in cities and towns, etc.

Bernie is a winner! Because his ideas, his concerns appeal to all of us.

Go Bernie!

He was more Democratic -- progressive -- than anyone else I can think of, although others came close, Senator Wellstone, Senator Sherrod Brown, etc.

Go Bernie!!!

Half the country hasn't voted yet. And it's almost all big Bernie-friendly states. You worried about money? We aren't. We've got lots of it from all the 'little people.' Better tell her to go hit up Goldman Sachs again--or how about Paul Singer? He has nowhere to go with his trillions now that Mafia Boy is out. A Vulture Capitalist should suit you all just fine.
