I'm beginning to warm up to the Bern...

[Human101948]

Working my Sunday volunteer job, talking to a lady who lives in Chris Christie country, and she told me she was surprised that all four of her children were voting for Bernie. This is particularly of note since two of her children are active military and the one that is an Army Ranger and a REPUBLICAN says he is voting for Bernie! He says he cannot vote for Trump or Cruz.

Then on my way home I saw two Bernie bumper stickers. No other stickers of any other type. It's a sign!

I have been favoring Bernie from day one but felt no hope for him to get the nomination. I am beginning to think it is very possible!

1. We're told by our party elites that what we want isn't pragmatic, so often we just quit trying.

Then, when those party elites don't get what they want, we get scolded because it's our fault for not participating.

They like our votes, just not our opinions.

[Betty Karlson]

6. I'm pretty much putting the entire party elite on ignore these days.

If I want to hear an echo chamber, I'll give them a ring again.

[Ferd Berfel]

35. The party elite are part of the oligarchy. They have the oligarchys interests in mind.

They do not have my interests in mind. Screw 'em

[Dretownblues]

26. +1

2. He's the non K-Street candidate, People not politicians are connecting dots, Finally he's the only

Member of our government to hold a conference on the bank failure in Greece and how and who caused it, and the similarities between us and them, THAT'S REAL GOVERNING and Telling the American people the truth, and that's not a photo opportunity .

3. have a happy day, human. Sounds like you are. :D

[sellitman]

4. I have a staunch GOP friend voting Bernie.

He is appalled at the choices on the right. He values Bernie's truth telling. Admits he is the ONLY honest candidate even if he disagrees with much of his platform. Very telling! I imagine many more Independents also feel the same way. Hopefully they take their comments to the booth.

[orpupilofnature57]

7. The few Republicans with common sense are, he's clear in his message , and it doesn't Polarize .

[oasis]

5. The debate tonight may cool you off.

Just sayin'.

[Vinca]

8. Yeah. The 12 people who watch might form different opinions. You never know.

[orpupilofnature57]

10. + 1000

Debbie wanted it late night originally, with just one mic .

[Vinca]

13. She picked a good time - opposite football and "Downton Abbey."

Who'd you rather watch - Hillary or Lady Mary?

[Plucketeer]

15. Dame Hillary will be my focus

Even if Lady Mary's story is the more believable tale.

[greiner3]

44. Not sure of the football demographics

But I'd say PBS's share is not too high amongst the younger (milleniLs) voting ages and am waiting that info. Anyone?

[Rebkeh]

12. It's on us to use the internet to share the highlights

[orpupilofnature57]

9. Just sayin' ???????

[Faux pas]

11. Kickin'

[TIME TO PANIC]

14. Hell yeah, it's possible, only hacks say otherwise.

[JDPriestly]

16. K&R.

[draa]

18. Thank you for that.

And yes, Sanders winning the nomination is possible. So is winning the White House. We need people like you to do it though so I hope you join us.

In my 50 years I've never seen a politician like Bernie. He isn't afraid to speak truth to power. When he looks you in the eyes and tells you "the rich are screwing you and I'm going to stop it" you have to stare in disbelief. That's NOT normal for a Washington politician. Or ANY politician. Just blows my mind every time I think about what he's willing to say to power. Even calling them out by name. That's simply not normal but by god it's what's right. I love that. Just love it. And believe me, you will too if you're tired of being screwed like me. Peace.

[Green Forest]

33. Well said.

I feel the same way.

[erronis]

45. It takes a bunch of (...) to speak like Bernie does

I don't care what (...) is.

In my understanding of BS, he is real. He is not a candidate that needs to go back to the fucos-groups or FOB for ideas and posturing. He is Bernie. What you see is what you get.

[SoapBox]

19. Three, Feel the Bern!, yelled at me on Saturday.

Los Angeles area...South Bay...Target, Smart and Final and in the neighborhood.

I wore my Bernie shirt out and have stickers on my car...two couples and a single...enthusiastic and 100% on board.

p.s...and from a graphic that I just saw for Bernie said...

"Not me. Us."

That to me speaks volumes.

[in_cog_ni_to]

20. He will be our nominee and then go on to wipe the floor with any clown from the Repub clown car!

PEACE
LOVE
BERNIE

[Metric System]

21. I remember Republicans being gung-ho for Obama during the 2008 primaries. That changed

quickly heading into the general election once he became the target of attacks.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

23. Anyone with anything negative to say about Obama had a microphone shoved in their faces.

[orpupilofnature57]

24. They invented ' Citizens United ' to ridicule Hillary, wonder what they have in store for her now ?

[Metric System]

30. Do you honestly think they'll go easy on the self-described Democratic "Socialist"?

[LS_Editor]

47. It didn't stop Obama. It won't stop Bernie.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

22. Despite all of the pundits jabbering I have yet to see a single Hillary sticker.

[orpupilofnature57]

25. MSM is trying to stuff her down Our throats, they both have the same boss, and the 1% don't give a

damn about accuracy until it comes to profit, and that's why she and Them get along so well .

[Spitfire of ATJ]

27. They think of the President as Capitalism's PR Department.

[dreamnightwind]

32. Wow, yes they do, never thought of it in those words

[Spitfire of ATJ]

36. The Cold War is over,...share this with someone who didn't get the message....

[sabrina 1]

28. Berne has the Milatary vote. Veterans For Bernie have played a huge role in his

campaign. Repubs, Dems they all say that he is the ONLY one who fought in Congress for them and succeeded in getting things done on their behalf.

Look up Veterans For Bernie and you will see how strongly they support him. So not really a surprise that your frend's active military children are supporting him. Word gets around among Vets and active duty military personnel.

[earthside]

29. Sanders is exciting.

Sen. Sanders exemplifies the enthusiasm and the principled progressive ideas we so desperately need in a President.

I actually feel kind of sorry for the Hillary supporters who I think are there mostly because of the gender factor.

They have to defend her despite her being so firmly entrenched in the one percent; despite her political elitism; despite her conservative foreign policy ideas; despite her association with scandal; despite her untrustworthiness (does anyone really believe she is against the TPP?). In other words, what she actually is and what they want her to be are two very different things.

Let it go, Hillarians! You don't have to be stuck with a stick-in-the-mud candidate!

Feel the progressive excitement ... you too can warm to the Bern!

[erronis]

46. Agree. I have some very liberal (could be called progressive) female friends

who feel like they should support HRC for the WH.

Unfortunately, if I agree it would be nice but I don't want another WallStreet cohort, I get blamed for being anti-feminist.

HRC would be better than any of the other alternatives (except MOM and BS), but 3rd best is not my choice.

[nashville_brook]

31. people want the truth. it's really that simple.

[valerief]

34. There's no parade until you join it! Welcome aboard!!!! nt

[Logical]

37. kick

[grahamhgreen]

39. I'm on fire with the Bern! Eventually, even Hillary will want him to win;)

[lostnfound]

42. I was thinking I'm glad Hillary is tough and knowledgeable

Because it brings out the best in Bernie and toughens him up for the general. Gives him a chance to keep improving his message delivery.

[complain jane]

40. I keep waffling.

I like Bernie's policies better.

[Duckfan]

41. That's been a question here on more than one occasion.

Will the Democratic party support Bernie should he get the nomination?

Curious how DWS will respond when he does. If we're lucky she'll pack her bags shortly thereafter. She knows she's history if Bernie wins it.

[another_liberal]

43. He's what progressives really want . . .

The question is, though, will they allow themselves to throw pragmatism aside and follow their dreams?
