MOMENTUM!
They ignored it in Iowa (a come-from-behind like I have rarely seen in my long lifetime). Then they pooh-poohed this amazing political phenomenon in New Hampshire, as Bernie plowed Clinton under and raised 7 MILLION DOLLARS in tiny donations, in the next 18 hours. Now they seem to have forgotten that we have a state named Nevada and will do their best to ignore it again, if Bernie wins it big, which MOMENTUM says he will.
A tie is a tie is a tie--but a tie from 0 to 50 is a different animal altogether. It means this: When people get to know Bernie and hear his views, they flock to his cause in big and escalating numbers. All the effort to black-hole him and his message has failed. His own stamina, and we the people and our small donations and fervent volunteer efforts--plus, I must say, Bernie's and his staff's political genius, which is, step by step by step, unhinging the biggest political machine of our time--has overcome the huge obstacle of black-holing and is bringing Bernie and his views to the everyone, dauntlessly. When they see him and hear him, they like him--like him a lot--like him sometimes passionately, sometimes with tears streaming from their eyes-- because they never thought they would hear these truths--of their own lives, and of our country--spoken by any politician.
Momentum, based on hard truths and well-thought out solutions! That. Is. Democracy. We're teaching it, as well as creating it.
