Bernie got a heck of a vote!

When you think about it Bernie got an enormous vote! Thousands of people went out to vote for his message. He won two more states and was very close in SD and NM. Albeit hillary got more votes but that doesn't matter because it's not about the person it is about a body of like-minded people who actually want change. This has only been going for a year and has gained so much momentum. Yes sure Hillary can be the nominee even the president but at the end of the day there is ground swell that cannot be ignored. Progressive people will rise up to stand as candidates, support more professive candidates so that Congress can be filled with representatives who will actually fight for the people's rights and interests. Hillary will come and go and we will still be here. Trump and even Hillary voters should look in the mirror at the end of this primary election and say did I really just vote against my own interests?
