Speaking for myself, I'm dead tired of getting nickel and dimed. Every time I get a raise, food, gas, heating, water, healthcare and everything else goes up just a little more. My purchasing power is hardly any better than it was 15 years ago. It's hard to save.

In the meantime, we have a forever war going on, and the Patriot Act took WAY more freedom than I'm willing to give up to be 'safe.'

Our kids are burdened with unsustainable student loan debt, and thanks to the Republicans and their corporate owners, they can't even get out of it by going bankrupt. We have predatory colleges, predatory banks, predatory stores.

The big corporations have 'offshored' trillions in untaxed profits while our infrastructure crumbles, and both parties are making mouth noises about cutting 'entitlements.' Well, I've paid FULL BOAT into Social Security for over 40 years, and no matter what the fine print in the law says, I WILL get it or I'll hit the streets (probably with millions of others) and die in a hail of National Guard bullets.

And, my healthcare has gone up, up, up, while at the same time my services have gone down, down, down. Even with Obamacare, I can STILL go broke. I have NEVER understood why we don't embrace a British style single payer system; the Brits love their healthcare, there's never a copay and they are happy because they get the services they need. In the meantime I have an HMO whose main value is to cut costs, which conflicts directly with giving patients the best care.

Geez. I'm ranting. So I'll quit. But you get the idea. I'm sick of the Washington DC politicians and their corporate owners pissing down my back and telling me it's raining. And I'm tired of the corporate-owned media which is WORSE than useless.

So, the first time I heard Bernie, that was it. I'm supporting him, donating to his campaign, I'll do yard signs and provide a place to stay for campaign workers, because this guy IS the next FDR. We've GOT to get him in the White House!

American's groaning under neoliberal capitalist bullshit. Bernie is the ONLY candidate in decades that has this kind of message. He's more of a Democrat than the Democrats.

Very well stated.

He is more democratic than our present democratic heads.

He attended four different Sanders events, obviously talked with numerous participants, and found only two people who even mentioned Benghazi or the email controversy. Of course, one of those two gets quoted. Still, right through your computer screen, you can practically see him shaking his head in bewilderment. "Who are these people?" he probably wonders. "They're against Clinton, but they don't parrot our right-wing anti-Clinton memes? They're against her because of this weird policy stuff? WTF????"

Deal with it, Byron. While your candidates are being photographed with Kim Davis and screaming about where to build walls, we have candidates talking about Glass-Steagall and the minimum wage.

Bernie will rake in a whopping $40 million + this quarter and heck, there are a couple of very well respected Republican analysts that have stated they wouldn't be surprised if Bernie brought in over $50 million. At the end of the day, don't expect the emphasis to be much more on Iowa or New Hampshire, especially after 2 to 3 weeks...as Bernie's campaign has one goal it must accomplish.. invade the South and set up camp there permanently. Sure, take a trip to Iowa and New Hampshire every 7 to 10 days, but its in the South that Bernie needs to hit, and hard. South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Florida, Mississippi, Texas, and North Carolina are the key states. Win 2/3 of them.. Hillary is done. Hillary's worst part is she is so well known that she isn't new and wont ever be. People already have their opinion of her. Bernie is still the "fresh new face" to many voters still. And the fact he doesn't have any issues from his past or controversies only boost him up to start eroding Hillary's lead in the South.
