8. So, two years before Gutierrez claimed he'd heard nothing from Bernie on immigration.

Got it.

9. Bernie addresses issues and concerns no one wants to discuss.

How can you not like this guy? What a professional!!!

More proof that corporate America is screwing us again. Goes hand in hand with the 1% controlling our economy and elections.

12. Timing

Good timing. Now make sure that all voters hear it. If not, what good is the speech? We who listen now really don't need to hear it. We are already convinced. Our task, convince others.

13. Excellent speech

This is what he should be saying NOW! The speech is two years ago, and many of us want him to talk about this, to keep the subject current. Go Bernie!
