Thanks for the Live Thread and Links!
That speech was INCREDIBLE...he even blew the "Family Values Repubs" out of their cozy nest with WHY they IN NO WAY support Any Kind of "Family Values"...but the whole Speech Rocked...and one of his best ever and he was "into it" because the crowd was so enthusiastic.
I haven't seen this kind of enthusiasm from a crowd since Obama ran and was at his peak where people were practically fainting at what he was saying. Bernie is building on Obama and Making the Language of Change and REAL HOPE go further.
It was so heartening to see and hear him. And he never once mentioned his Background with his parents Refugees and how he grew up with his Brother in Brooklyn in a 3 BR Apt...or anything else like Hillary has been doing with going on about her "Mother who had to work as (GASP) a "House Maid."
Not to diss Hillary but most politicians in the Dem Party (yes, true of some Repubs, also) always try to relate to Their Pasts in giving a speech. But, Bernie didn't do that he SPOKE ABOUT THE FUTURE OF AMERICA and ITS CITIZENS!
That was refreshing! He seems to know that those young people there in that audience (if they care and were impressed by his speech) know how to Use a Search Engine to find out where Bernie comes from and he didn't need to pound them on the head about that.
IDEAS for CHANGE come FIRST with BERNIE....and forget about him spending useless time on HIS Struggles growing up...which he won't use to win votes. And, that, alone is admirable given the vain use by all political candidates to exploit how they grew up or even embellish their identity with what the Dem Party (used to stand for with Working People) for their future use in Campaign.
Bernie is the Real Deal!
