This is the beginning of the critical part of the race when Bernie will win

After the Ides of March (today) things will get easier for Bernie. What needs to happen is that the Bernie campaign tells supporters not to be swayed by the media. We are in with a very good chance and we need to start calling, donating and hit her with strong TV ads.

This fight isn't over and I'm a little surprised at the defeatism I'm seeing from so many of Bernie's supporters.

it is easy for people to get swayed by the media. We need to start recruiting more.

and we'll be back at it tomorrow.

I haven't voted yet, and this year, I expect my vote to count.

Some on the other side are behaving insufferably tonight, and its a bummer to think they'll continue like that for at least several days now.

Now, I do my best to filter and trash as many pro HRC threads as possible. I didn't come to DU 12 years ago to be a cheerleader for a conservative with a "D" in front of their name.

On another thread, Scootaloo was calling out the gloaters for how long since they last posted. Kind of funny, really.

It is a good opportunity to see whose opinions you don't need to care about.

Sometimes I wish there was a Public Ignore feature.

You take a punch. You fall down. And then you get back up again.

At least if you have balls you do.

That having been said, the next month (mas o menos) should be good for Senator Sanders. The Rocky Mountain West holds a bunch of caucuses, and demographically, they are in Sanders' wheelhouse. Wisconsin and Washington should also be good territory for him.

The next big showdown comes in mid/late April when NY and the mid-Atlantic states vote.

Going against some guy that I was no match for, but doing enough to slow him down. If you're big and fast as a kid, they move you up to play with the big boys. You have a few nights like that. You can't quit though. If you did that, your backup would only get stomped worse.

That might be what the early going has been like, but we have no backup. Compare that to my sophomore year playing football and early in my junior year. You faced me after that, I was doing the ass kicking!

I'll be donating for the fourth time.

Remember, that Bernie was down twenty points in the midwest industrial states, and has made up ground significantly.

Ohio is an aberration because of the unexpected Kasich factor. We have learned that Hillary lost one of her key demographics there to Bernie --- those making over $100,000 went to Bernie by 10 percent over Hillary.
