Bernie has this one to lose. He's got this one in the bag.
No doubt in my mind about this. He is the only one who is talking the language that the majority want to hear. He'll win this one hands down.

15. Read the words to your song. It is only in pursuing the "impossible dreams'' that they become reality
Mon Jan 11, 2016, 03:28 PM

To dream the impossible dream
To fight the unbeatable foe
To bear with unbearable sorrow
To run where the brave dare not go
To right the unrightable wrong
To love pure and chaste from afar
To try when your arms are too weary
To reach the unreachable star

This is my quest
To follow that star
No matter how hopeless
No matter how far

To fight for the right
Without question or pause
To be willing to march into Hell
For a heavenly cause

And I know if I'll only be true
To this glorious quest
That my heart will lie peaceful and calm
When I'm laid to my rest

And the world will be better for this
That one man, scorned and covered with scars
Still strove with his last ounce of courage
To reach the unreachable star


The sentiment of this work is sooo not hillary.

You use the words. The words inspire.

But I can understand how inspiration is a big whoosh.

Howard Dean's comments....he seems in awe of Bernie, and they are both Vermonters. Wonder why he endorsed Hillary?

4. Presidential endorsements are transactional in nature.

There is quid pro quo involved - Dean assuredly gets something in return for his endorsement.

5. Do you get the idea that "quid pro quo"
Wed Jan 6, 2016, 06:58 PM

in today's corrupt environment means, "Endorse me and I won't release those compromising photos that we have of you on file. And also, no one will force your car off the road next Tuesday."

10. Sanders is still gaining momentum

Of course some people still prefer to use crappy national polls that are terrible at predicting the early primary states.

11. That Statement Was One Of The VERY First I Ever Heard

about him! Way back in the beginning, long before he gained so many millions, I was informed that one should never underestimate him!
I never have!

And even now, with some in the MSM beginning to begrudgingly hedge their bets against him...
they still really don't see us coming.

First Iowa, then New Hampshire, and the landslide begins.

Yes, kind of a sappy comment, but as a long time activist he's the first candidate I feel so confident about. ONE MAIN REASON...TPTB simply don't want him!

That should be ENOUGH for anyone to consider.
