Ha! I just met a Bernie supporter from NC visiting ME!

She overheard me in a discussion with an independent GOP-leaning woman at a loss over who to vote for because "Trump is a joke!" The indie hadn't heard of Bernie -- I told her he's an indie running Dem and the only one challenging Hillary. I was checking out space to potentially host a debate-party -- she gave me a great idea for a place I hadn't thought of!

Anywho, the NC woman overheard us agreeing that, "Trump is a joke!" and chimed in. I told her I was for Bernie, and she said she is too!

She was concerned he might not "last." I told her he's working a bit 'under the radar' down south going to church leaders as well as joining the union strike, meeting the BLM marchers, etc.

And reminded her that Hillary's going to have a tough month come October. She immediately jumped to her testifying and the whole private server mess.

I told her Bernie certainly will go the distance. She thanked me for giving her hope!

Feelin' the Bern right now!!!

We all need to pitch in and get the message out to offset the media blackout around Bernie. Good job!

billionaires because the system is rigged for the 1%. She did like that! I also suggested she should register for one party or another if only to have influence in the primaries. (Of course, with only clowns in the GOP, she has nobody to vote for on that side, lol!)
