1. Those poll numbers are astounding.

I've got to ask, and I don't know where to even begin. How do we get security for Bernie? This guy is walking around essentially naked.

2. He does have some security. I've seen them around him at events.

How effective I don't know.

3. Here in Seattle a few months ago

some people just walked up on stage and took the mike from Bernie Sanders. That can't be safe and I do fear for Bernie's well being. I shudder when I think of what happened to JFK, Bobby Kennedy, Malcolm X, MLK, and to John Lennon -- all people who stood up and tried to make a real difference, just like Sanders. It really doesn't matter who killed them, or why. They were stopped. Dead. With bullets. It has happened far too often.

4. No, they didn't. One of the rally organizers handed over the mic

Still, I agree that concerns for his safety are very well founded.
