I have written about the workers in that coalition, but never knew Bernie was that involved.

Hope others will rec it, too.

This was a great moment in Bernie history.

He has so many excellent, rare qualities and no bluster. Incredible. Even modest I've noticed.

What a joy it was to see and hear him for 2 hours last Thurs. at the public policy forum in Arlington.

I'm still high from it

Bernie Sanders, The Real Deal!
