Small moments can be big.

Bernie got lots of hype for attending the picket march by the local CWA in their strike against Verizon.

Verizon is one of the places that paid Hillary $225,000 for one of her talks.

The CWA has already endorsed Bernie, both locally and nationally.

She attended their picket line to show support anyways.

Was very well received--some chants of "Hill-a-ree" and a top national union guy thanking her for swinging by, saying "we'll be there for you."

Trust me when I say that vast majority of CWA members in the South not vote for Bernie under any circumstances regardless of what their national leadership tells them.
