Bernie Sanders Rocks The Political World By Skyrocketing Up, New Iowa And NH Polls

Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders is sending an earthquake through politics as usual by skyrocketing up two new polls of Iowa and New Hampshire.

(snip)
Bernie Sanders’ spokesman Michael Briggs summed up why voters are reacting well to Sen. Sanders, “Bernie is leading the fight to rebuild the disappearing American middle class and take on the greed of the billionaire class. These new polls confirm that the more voters get to know Bernie the better they like him and what he stands for.”

Briggs hit the nail on the head. Democratic voters like Bernie Sanders and his message. The more Democratic voters get to know Sen. Sanders, the more that they like him. It isn’t that Democrats have stopped liking Hillary Clinton, but that Bernie Sanders has seen his popularity surge.

(snip)
The idea that millions of Americans could rally around a 73-year-old Independent Senator to take back the U.S. government from the billionaires is sending a message to the media and political leaders.

upstate NY and people were talking about Bernie and Trump
They were talking about how much they liked Bernie and about how people should be scared about what Trump is saying These were Jewish people and they said he is very scary to them.
I didn't know these people before, but we talked a lot of politics. They were about 60 and some were in their 20's. They all knew about Bernie

getting no support from other Democrrats, being undermined by the DNC and other Democrats, accepting no large donations.

It has to be his hair. Even after they made him cut it and use product, it must still have power.

I totally agree. So why is no one in this country, that provides political news, reporting on this? This is fantastic news, in anyone's world. Look where he was 4 months ago. So what do I hear? Silence!!!!

It's the 1%'s attempt to silence him. Just don't report anything. Ignorance is bliss? Perhaps. Anyone with a CPAC is totally freaking out about Bernie. They do not want the common people to know who is really telling the truth, addressing real issues that surround us daily. No one can hold a candle to Bernie. He is the perfect blend for a politician.

All CPAC politicians are being called out as "bought politicians". And the media is no exception. They're paid off too.

Don't fool yourself, the oligarchy in this country is alive and well. It started with Reagan, and has progressed to what it is today. If we do not claim our democracy back soon, we will all lose in the end. I fear that Bernie is our last chance to accomplish this.
