only once we have him nominated and elected, two things that are not yet in place.
Everything relies on that.

I daresay TPTB will hold on to power as tightly and as long as they are able to.

We need real reform, and we do need Bernie Sanders in order to accomplish that. It won't happen any other way.
We have lots to accomplish to set that in motion.
