In fact, some stopped including him already, giving Hillary a nice bump. Watch for that bump to get bigger now.

If it came to that.

Too bad for the American people that the corporate media so widely celebrated the debate "performance" of the bought-and-sold, unprincipled corporate favorite.

Let's hope Bernie and his supporters can spread the truth across this land and empower the people to take back our country from the 1%.

If we can't, then I mourn for my country.

We don't sit around admiring his hair, clothes, money and connections.

Like Bernie, we think the American people are what's important in this.

(correction: with the Biden bounce, probably closer to 20)

FWIW, I've never criticized Sanders' policies (or his HAIR); nor have I insulted the intelligence of anyone who supports him.

and the worst was simply to point out liabilities, like age and lack of organization and endorsements.

FWIW - That would be more the double the Democratic Party voter turnout in 2008. You can understand my doubts.

...if Sanders is the nominee he will win the State of Vermont.

Sadly, they let Republicans in other States vote as well, and they're not all the same as those in Vermont.
