(3,568 posts)I agree 100% with everything you said. Excellent, excellent post.
Bernie Sanders is not responding to the voters, he is not "tapping" into any damn thing, he is the same champion of the vulnerable and the powerless, and the unlucky, that he has always been throughout his career. As President he will be in the best position possible for him to enact the changes and reforms he has always fought for, and, he will have the bully pulpit and he will absolutely use it. He will have to use it, and he'll have to fight like hell, and then fight like hell again and again, but no one should doubt that he will do just that. His ambition is to help those needing help and to provide justice for those treated unfairly. His cause is good, and that is a very powerful motivator. He will not give up or give in because the fight is too hard or difficult.
