Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak tells followers to #FeelTheBern

[99th_Monkey]

Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak gave a bit of a boost to presidential candidate Bernie Sanders in a tweet early Tuesday morning.

Wozniak, who co-founded the tech giant with the late Steve Jobs, urged followers to support the Vermont senator's campaign, using “#FeelTheBern,” the signature hashtag of Sanders backers.

Sanders is an independent but caucuses with the Democrats in the Senate. He is also running for the Democratic nomination in 2016. Clinton remains atop recent polls, but Sanders has gained ground since announcing his run.

Wozniak has donated to both sides in recent presidential elections but has leaned more toward Democrats. He donated a little more than $3,000 to president Obama’s first presidential campaign in 2008. He donated a few hundred dollars to Republican Ron Paul during the 2012 contest.

In 2004, he donated $2,000 each to the campaigns of John Kerry, the eventual Democratic nominee, and Howard Dean, according to the Center for Responsive Politics.

2. WOW, Now That's BIG!

I don't tweet, never even tried but how can I send this stuff to an email account? Can anyone help me. There used to be a way, but don't see anything to click on anymore.

Yeah, I DO use FB and other stuff, but don't have enough time in my day to do EVERYTHING!

7. Woz has always been a good one.

His brain created the products that made the company.

Jobs was just a very good salesman/marketeer. Without Woz they would not have had anything to sell.

9. Hmm. I thought 1%ers were evil and endorsements didn't matter. How things change.

[Armstead]

10. No it's not a matter of wealth alone

[DanTex]

13. I agree with that. I don't think the Hillary-bashers do, though.

[TheFarS1de]

12. Oh look , another negative .

14. The pack of Wall Street/MIC/Monsanto greed-heads & Private Prison lobbyists running Hillary's campaign

..is not quite the same thing as one random creative genius, who happened to struck it rich,
and who hasn't sold out his country for profit, and simply makes an endorsement.

Are you seriously trying to somehow equate these things? .. my, how desperate Hillary supporters
must be for SOMEthing to snark about.

[DanTex]

15. Private prison lobbyists are now running Hillary's campaign, huh.

Funny, I though that was John Podesta and Robby Mook.

16. Chief Fund-raisers for the campaign, which is HUGELY important, yes.

Private Prison Lobbyists are top fund-raisers for Hillary Clinton

Then there's this Monsanto pandering appointment of Jerry Crawford in the mix ..ugh..
Former first lady, U.S. senator and Obama Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has set upon a campaign manager for her recently announced second attempt to win the White House — a man who has also served as chief lobbyist for Monsanto, the “most evil corporation in the world.”

Clinton picked long-time Monsanto promoter Jerry Crawford to head up her “Ready for Hillary” Super PAC.

18. LOL. Moving goalposts, but still not there. A guy who bundled $44K in contributions is not

a "chief fundraiser."

[99th_Monkey]

19. Monsanto Man, Jerry Crawford, chief advisor to Ready For Hillary super-PAC

Follow the money ...

Crawford is an “equal opportunity payola operative” who hands out political bribes to members of both parties. “Crawford has mostly worked with Democratic politicians in the past, but has also put his support behind Republican candidates as well. Anyone who was willing to support Monsanto’s goals would receive support from Crawford,” says TrueActivist.com.

20. You sure like inserting that word "chief".

Wow, that article is just one big long Hillary-bash. By Mike Adams of NaturalNews, no less.

21. Sigh! It's ALWAYS about the messenger, never about the message or the information

Fine. Are these sources more to your liking?
