Jorge Ramos Interviews Bernie Sanders

1. Ramos, who asked if his facebook readers supported Hillary or Trump--and they all said Bernie?

The guy whose daughter works for Hillary's campaign? Uh oh. I'm scared for Bernie, but let's watch the video, anyway.

"What do you see in this photo?"

"Why were you not allowed to speak?" (BLM)

"You sound like Donald Trump on immigrants." (Remind me when Bernie said anything remotely like Mexico is sending rapists to the US.)

Bernie know how to use every second of his air time, no matter what the questions!

2. Being shared everywhere

3. With hundreds of millions of dollars and many contacts among the wealthy and powerful,

this has been part of the preparation by the Clintons for this campaign. If you are not on Hillary or Bill's staff, you are working for the campaign and if you are not working for the campaign, you're working for the Foundation. And if you are not working for the Foundation, you're a recipient of some award. And if none of that is so, they can make a call for you. Or as many calls as it takes.

Classic.

4. It's about time we peons start organizing

And making calls of our own to fight back. Like Bernie says enough is enough or in spanish ya basta.

The documentary "Food Chains" on Netflix documents the fight between the tomato farmers in Florida against the giant supermarket chains. It's very good, and there is a brief appearance of Bernie in the senate fighting for their cause. I recommend it.

5. All my relatives jumped on the Bernie bandwagon as soon as I mass emailed that he

had made his informal announcement--with one exception, who is a Republican. (I'll be working on him during the general campaign!) I've been lucky with my relatives all my life in that respect. We never argue about for whom we'll be voting. (Maybe we're all clones of each other and we just don't know it?)

I had some friends who made the cliched McGovern argument, but I convinced them, again, with one exception. The exception is my centrist buddy who claims to be an extreme liberal, just, you know, more "pragmatic" than I am. And I'm working on him almost every time we speak.

I like leafletting better than calling. I never like to stay on the phone with cold callers and the calls always seem to come at a bad time. A leaflet I can read at my own convenience.
