Remember authenticity?

No?

I understand. I was born in 1953 and didn't understand at age 10 what loosing "Camelot" meant. Were I a few years older then, I'd have a better understanding of what was meant by, "we all breathe the same air".

We ALL are the stakeholders because we know that the TIME is UP.

Somebody… tell me where I can get one of those "X ^" hat as we get this guy into the White House.

realize that we have never, in my lifetime, had a candidate like this.

I've seen this before, it should be seen by every voter in the country and I will do my part to get it seen.

'He is the rarest of commodities', yes, in this country he is that.

Love the music background.

'When millions of people stand up and fight, they win'

And that is how we are going to help this country get that president it needs.

they have lost hope. And then he said so emphatically:

'THAT IS EXACTLY HOW THEY WANT YOU TO FEEL'

I know that which is why I am not hearing anyone who says things like 'he can't win'. THEY ARE WRONG!

Not the first time I've seen it, but I love watching it. I bookmarked it last time and I've bookmarked it again. I send it out to any one willing to watch it. It's pure Bernie and if everyone in the country sees it he will win in a landslide.

SCOTUS, Hillary has too much money, doesn't have a chance... Politicians like Bernie don't come along but a couple of times in a hundred years, especially in the last 30-40 years. Climate Change, education, privatization, infrastructure, and more won't wait for us to all decide to stop voting for the lesser of two evils, besides, it's still evil!

To be able to resuscitate hope in people who have been lied to by politicians over and over again is nothing short of a miracle. Bernie's record is consistent from start to finish. There is no ego here. What we have is a candidate who knew somebody had to stand for the 99% and when nobody stepped forward, he did, on our behalf.

When they announced that, now that O'Malley's in the race, Hillary has competition! I would like to SUE them over this false statement! Hillary has REAL competition in Bernie Sanders. But this false and slanderous announcement of CNN brings one thing into VERY clear focus: how the mainstream corporate media will marginalize any candidate who's not bought and paid for by corporate megabucks. We need to turn this whole situation around and just walk out on all the corporate candidates - leave them to themselves to rake in their corporate cash while they spout their pseudo-populist BS on national TV. We just leave them alone and go to vote for the other guy: Bernie Sanders, the only REAL candidate in this election who has actually proven, through a quarter century-plus of tireless legislating efforts, that he IS a real man of the people. Every major issue that super-majorities of the American people, regardless of party affiliation, all agree on - Bernie supports them, and is going to fight for them. If he can turn out the crossover voters en masse, there is nothing that can stop him. And if he goes under the radar of the corporate media, so be it: we laugh all the way to the voting booth. NO MORE voting for the lesser of two corporate evils! The future of our nation is much more valuable and important than the cynical political games of the 1%.
