how this hype can either harm Bernie or help him.

If the MSM and some others keep insisting he cant win, it will just make his supporters, myself included, more and more likely to speak up and donate, etc.

So in the end the more they say he cant win, maybe the better chance he has.

I honestly didnt believe at any point he could win, until recently, I still think it is a long shot.

Jesus, as I said somewhere else, people dont realize that having a chance to vote for this man as President is simply not gonna happen again soon and has NEVER happened before, as in having the chance to vote for someone who is solely, entirely, 1000% dedicated to the lives of average people.

If we blow it, we will blame ourselves

"Clinton Meme of the Day?"

Congratulations on Bernie's win in MI! It was a surprise, given the polls, and you deserve to be very happy about it.

But why are you picking out these OPs that are basically just repeating the facts about the numbers of delegates accumulated so far for each candidate as if people were saying something nasty about Bernie's win? Can't you just savor your moment?

I must be doing something right with the ignore feature and by only looking at 2 forums. I hadn't seen any of those posts.

All the usual suspects and so transparent.

The internet helped Obama to connect folks, but in 2016 everyone is WAY more connected via Facebook, Twitter, Reddit - people are getting & sharing info and it's happening quickly. One lie from a candidate and everyone knows in seconds. It will be very interesting to see how these campaigns play out.

When I was at our local meet-up the most organized person in the room was a 17 yr old who started a website for our county and had folks meeting at a local cafe to teach them how to phonebank ("bring your phone & laptop - let's do this&quot . Couldn't even vote in the primary but he will vote in the general. My goal is to keep Bernie in the election until then so that kid has a chance to vote for the guy he has worked so hard for.
