(22,271 posts)There have been several events for Sanders and exactly ONE for Hillary. I guarantee you he's gaining ground here.

(14,733 posts)the Clinton supporters were laughing over the fact that Sanders supporters were happy to see Bernie 'only' losing to Hillary by 10 or 15 points in New Hampshire and Iowa. With him leading her by 10 points in one state, and 22 in the other, I'm not hearing as much laughter about delusional Sanders supporters about those states.
To paraphrase Megan Trainor
It's all about the trends, bout the trends, bout the trends...
No Clinton...
Enjoy the lead now, Hillary. Cause it's not hanging around.

(14,570 posts)gives him real traction. People want to hear what he says. People want him to fight for what he says. Maybe this time, if he's elected, people will fight WITH HIM to make these changes.
If that happens, America will definitely be a better place, even if we can't make ALL of it happen.

(509 posts)I live in a small town outside of Sac. I go into a local wine and beer place once a week or so. Twice I have ended up mentioning Bernie for some reason. Both times, Every single person at the bar (totally about a dozen. Not a great sample size) were planning to vote for him. It's been unanimous. In one group, we'd actually been arguing a bit about other stuff. I assumed this woman was a republican, anti-immigrant, spouting Fox News talking points. The second I mentioned loving Bernie she lit up. Everyone (a group of half a dozen white people in their 50s), lit up and the conversation underwent a sea change from somewhat negative to animated and positive. It was terrific.

I am kind of surprised about her husband because he is big in the environment and smokes pot.
