Bernie finds out from Jane about WA

1. " a little birdie told me you won Washington..."

[shireen]

8. I've lost count of the number of times I've watched it

As a birder, I enjoyed it thoroughly. Also embarrased myself by getting the ID wrong ... twice. LOL!

It's a female house finch.

[tomm2thumbs]

9. I saw multiple signs in his rally with birdies on 'em

those Bernie fans work fast!!! LOL

[DrBulldog]

12. Ah shucks. i was hoping a western meadowlark. It looked like one from the back.

[snort]

45. I had it pegged as an African Swallow.

Damned silly of me.

[ChazInAz]

51. Easy mistake to make.

It wasn't carrying a coconut.

[Cassidy]

58. Isn't it too yellow for a house finch?

I was thinking maybe it is a female yellow warbler.

(Sorry to be off-topic, but not knowing is making me crazy! Thanks!)

[shireen]

60. It's definitely not a warbler

The bird turned around briefly and it had a classic finch bill, whereas warblers have slender bills.
But it is fun to speculate about the bird's identity! I got it wrong twice until I was able to convince myself it was a female house finch based on other comments.

13. The Bird yesterday brought me to tears yesterday...

Then this video had me screaming out loud and clapping....

Alone in my house on an early Saturday evening, feeling just a wee bit crazy.....

And man, when he smiles, it's genuineness socks me right in the heart.

And I think, this man, this man - is THE ONE!

Wtf? I've been a Poly Wonk for 30 years..never felt like this about any leader, much less a politician.

What is this feeling? I'm 51, and I can't pinpoint exactly what this feeling is. It's a swelling of a mass of feelings.... So strong it feels physical.

I think I know...

It's how people felt watching Martin Luther, JFK, and FDR, speak LIVE.

And no matter what happens, I am so grateful I was able to hear a man of profound greatness, integrity, passion, sincerity and strength - fight for the people in my lifetime, finally.

With this joy, there is also a heavy sadness. It took 50 years for another man to stand up and fight like this!

If it slips through are fingers now, will there be another one in our lifetimes? Sadly, I feel the answer is "no", and I'm positive there won't be in my lifetime.

[Silver_Witch]

19. Exactly

How we felt when Martin or John spoke...hell it is how I felt when Jimi and Janis sang. It is when you see someone who is willing to fight for you...share with you and laugh with you. When you know they are real and not hiding behind a mask or an agenda.

I am old and have wept often in my time here - sometimes in joy and sometimes deep sorrow. I am glad to be weeping with you this day in joy and hope.

Love wins and we are all brave and hopeful deep deep down.

[Avalon Sparks]

21. Justice is what we seek!

Thank you for sharing this with me - hugs!

49. FLOWER

[liberalhistorian]

23. I'm exactly your age and I

feel the same way, you've expressed it perfectly. And I've also never seen young people (which, at my age, means anyone younger than 45, lol) so fired up and excited over any candodate, ever. My son is almost 25 and he and his friends are over the moon for him, I've never seen anything like it. It also makes my heart hurt to think what will happen if he doesn't get the nomination. In that case, I hope he'll be the running mate.

[Equinox Moon]

29. A car with young men drove by...

They saw my Bernie yard sign and called out to me as I was in the driveway. They were smiling, hanging out of the windows, with one arm outstretched holding a fist ---

"Revolution! GO BERNIE!!!" they shouted out to me. It was quite a moment! I shouted back with my fist of solidarity -- "GO BERNIE!"

I think all my neighbors heard the exchange!

I am still smiling from ear-to-ear.

[Cal33]

59. "In that case" I think he'd do more good working together with Elizabeth Warren in the

Senate to recruit more real Progressives -- among other things. He'd be wasted as V-P.

[Equinox Moon]

25. Beautifully said

Thank you for sharing your special experience. I feel it too and it is wonderful to share this with you and others here on DU. The video of Washington victory today had me standing and clapping and cheering with tears flowing. The internet experience is powerful. What a gift to share a moment like that with 1000's of others at the same time from our homes!

Bernie is a once in lifetime gem. I cherish being a part of it in living-time.

[grasswire]

27. what is it? what is it?

I think it might be called "synchronicity"?

I felt it. I was there for the birdie event. The feeling you are looking to describe was palpable in the arena. Joy. Shared emotion. An "aha" moment, or "eureka" perhaps. We have found it. The one.

[scscholar]

26. Yes, hate brings tears

Hate brings tears.

[Equinox Moon]

30. This video and thread is about love and celebration

[Duval]

56. Say what?

I really don't understand your post.

[shireen]

6. i like how he reacted to the news

Serious and contemplative. No gleeful grinning.

[intheflow]

11. Good observation. n/t

[Dawgs]

18. And he said "We" not "I". n/t

[Silver_Witch]

20. The reason I love him

It is always we, my friend - we are the change...not one leader one person but all of us here together....

[LiberalArkie]

7. The MSNBC host said an aide came out and told Bernie..He corrected himself a little bit later.

So obviously he has not been exposed to Bernie at all.

[grntuscarora]

10. I love this guy!

nt

[Crabby Abbey]

16. I love him too! I think my husband must get tired of hearing that. LOL! (He loves him too)

[grntuscarora]

44. My husband just switched from I to D to vote for Bernie in our primary!

He has a bit of a man-crush on the Bernster, I think

Welcome to DU, Crabby Abbey!

[quantumjunkie]

14. +1

[Duckfan]

15. And this is what a revolution is all about!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[BeanMusical]

17. Kick and R

[davidpdx]

22. Even over here in South Korea I'm chanting "Bernie, Bernie, Bernie"

while watching that.

[cui bono]

37. That was you???

I was trying to nap!

[liberalhistorian]

24. I saw this live,was it

was happening, and I was jumping up and down. He also seemed so assured and confident, there was a real difference in his speech. Loved the digs at Walker, and so did the crowd, of course.

[grasswire]

28. yes

He has changed overnight. Since the moment of the bird, I think.

[Jennylynn]

31. OOOh, yes. The digs at Walker

He was genuinely peed off! I had already learned that he had won Washington before his wife had told him but it was cool to watch him find out.

[liberalnarb]

32. Is Washington winner take all?

That would be great.

[cui bono]

36. I'm pretty sure none of the states in the Dem primary are winner take all.

Well Alaska almost was...

.

[Iwillnevergiveup]

33. Hearing the news from Jane

was icing on the birdie.

[cilla4progress]

34. His place in history

Is secured.

[cui bono]

35. "That is what momentum is about." !!!

Oh hell yeah!

Can't wait til I stop working so much so I can volunteer some more. In the meantime, more donations will have to suffice.

FEEL THE BERN!!!

[Duckfan]

38. He had to be saying to himself.....

Hot Damn!!!

2 down and 1 to go.

Come On Hawaii!!!!!!!

[Duppers]

39. Watched it live. Some narb on msnbc didn't even know

it was Jane Sanders and mislabeled her as being one of Bernie's staff!

You would think that media would recognize the spouse of one of the only two democratic candidates. But nooo. It's very telling.

[liberalnarb]

41. Narb?

[Duppers]

46. Oh dear. No offence intended toward you.

I've heard the term used disparagingly.

[liberalnarb]

47. Haha no harm done.

Narb is a nickname we use for the town I live in (Narberth). They put it on bumper stickers and stuff. hehe

[Left Coast2020]

61. Could it be that if you can correctly identify the starting lineup for the 1970....

...World Series, you can get a job at MSNBC?

[Duppers]

62. LoL! Bet Keith Olbermann really could. And

he would be able to identify Jane Sanders.

[SusanCalvin]

42. His voice sounds better - wonder if he's been getting some coaching?

I hope so - there's really no reason a healthy voice should "wear out" if it's produced correctly.

[PatrynXX]

43. actually read some news pieces on Washington

and from the feel of it Clintons thought either it would be a good chance there or it would be a tight race, thus blunting the blow from Hawaii. oddly Hawaii was the better state of the nite for the. 69 % compared to 72 % Washinton and now 81 % in Alaska

If Donald were actually to run Alaska could flip blue there are many states that might flip blue if Donald were running and Bernie wins. and good for Jane

[FlatBaroque]

48. We, we, we. Never an I

Don't you have to be a self serving sociopath in order to be President?

[Silver_Witch]

50. WE just won!!! WE WE WE not I

That is all the needs to be said WE won Alaska, Washington and Hawaii. By very large percentages. WE!

[Duval]

57. YES WE DID! nt

[George II]

52. Was that before or after he pushed her away from him?

[Ned_Devine]

53. I love to put granola in my yogurt

I know I should probably get off of dairy, but it's just so delicious!

[whereisjustice]

54. Don't know, but I'm pretty sure its after Hillary promised Wall Street she'd continue fucking over

the middle class.

[George II]

55. And where can I find that? Anywhere?
