The amount of enthusiasm for Bernie is unparalleled. . .

I haven't seen this much enthusiasm for a presidential candidate, especially among young people, in almost 50 years. The last time I saw this much enthusiasm for a presidential candidate was in '68, for RFK.

What says you?

Millennials have been screwed so bad by this country, I'm not surprised they've gravitated to the most honest, trustworthy, genuine, authentic and ETHICAL man to ever run for president. After OWS? And Obama having them beaten, pepper sprayed and caged, he has to seem like a dream!

If he doesn't win the nomination, TPTB stole the election.

PEACE
LOVE

But I was an activist against the Bush war crimes at the time and a political novice- I thought the Clinton era was great at that time and had no idea what economic and social time bomb policies were put in place or who the DLC was. I thought Dean and the other anti-war candidates down ballot were exactly what we needed at the time to get things going in the right direction.

I had no idea that our party had already transformed into Bushco's right arm. I wonder what Dean or Gore really would have done in office now.

I've never seen anything like it, either --Bernie sure has an incredibly powerful message!
I've never seen any one as kind and caring --As a Grandmother I love his values...I'm so proud of the young people who support him...



Why I'm voting for Bernie Sanders...This video brought me to tears!:
