2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forum"Political Earthquake" says Thom about Bernie drawing crowds.
And he says the MSM and repubs will work overtime ignoring it.
He might have said "mainstream politicians" too, not sure, meaning Hillary.
Whatever is happening, it is very real and since there is such a terribly long ways to go, much work is yet to be done to educate people as to who Bernie is.
As he moves westward with appearances, he needs an advance team to go and introduce him to the people he needs to show up.
Lots of ways to do this, but all of them require BUCKETS full of money.
If you are in a union or are a teacher, contact them about their PAC's and Bernie. If you have friends or family who are likely to donate money to a candidate, talk to them about Bernie now, before they are hit up by someone else.
Above all, follow my twitter linked below and help me help YOU make sure EVERYBODY gets to vote!

It is not a bad thing, a Bernie presidency.
I also think Hillary is fine compared to the alternative.

Nothing will motivate the right to get the vote out more than a Clinton. The right wing HIllary hate machine is in place and ready to motivate.
Hillary as our nominee will be the biggest fundraiser, rally cry and motivator to the right. Make no mistake, they want Hillary.

(30,099 posts)The campaign says that the average donation to the Vermont senator and Democratic presidential candidate was about $33 and that 99% of donations were under $250.
Compare that to Hillary Clinton's announced haul of at least $45 million. The Clinton campaign says that 91% of the donations were under $100, although the overall number of donors isn't yet known.
The news of Sanders' fundraising data comes a day after he drew a crowd of 10,000 at a rally in Madison, Wisconsin.
A new poll in Iowa shows that Sanders has doubled his support in the early caucus state, rising from 15 percent in polls in May to 33 percent now.
