There's a snowball coming. Consider the snowball...

It starts out small; sometimes no larger than a pebble. As it rolls downhill its mass increases. Its mass increases naturally. As its mass increases, so does its footprint and its speed; each feeding on the other. Mass feeds speed and speed increases mass, both at an ever growing pace. Its footprint gets wider and wider as it gets heavier. The speed, coupled with the mass, becomes an unstoppable force.

Behold Bernie Sanders.

Every win emboldens his supporters. They tell two friends. THEY tell two friends. Remember the old shampoo commercial?

It's happening right before our eyes.

How high were his chances rated when he just started out? A snowball's chance in...

Clinton is throwing everything at him. The kitchen sink, the gutter, and even the septic tank. She is giving him Hell.

Nice how all those metaphores are coalescening.
