Will Bernie win it all?

Not the GE, that's months away. Not the nomination, nor even the IA and NH races.

I mean, Bernie won the Focus Group:
Sanders 27 / Hillary 2 / O'Malley 1
https://twitter.com/ChrisKofinis/status/688936424708673536


And Bernie won the Online Polls:
Bernie - 87% / Clinton - 10% / O'Malley - 3%

Bernie - 94.5% / Clinton - 4% / O'Malley - 1.5%
http://fox5sandiego.com/2016/01/17/poll-who-won-the-4th-democratic-debate/

Bernie - 84% / Clinton - 12% / O'Malley - 2% / Other - 2%

And Bernie won on Social Media:
Bernie was the most talked about, and the most searched on Facebook, Twitter, and Google

but will Bernie win it all, and finally win the Pundits?
Tomorrow will tell...

Oh hell, who am I kidding? The punditry are owned by the Corporate Media giants, and despite what "we the people" say, the Wall Street welcome wagon will roll out for Hillary, truths will be ignored, and lies will become canon. Lather, rinse, repeat.

There is an upside, though. The beauty of the talking head is that if you don't listen, then all that talking wont matter.

Fuck the punditry, and just vote! With our help - not by their decree - Bernie will win it all.

4. It was also pointed out that the author wrote a piece which calls DWS a "liar or a fraud"...

So which is it.

Do you want to tear the author down, or agree with them?

If I had to bet all my money, I'd say no. I'm way more optimistic than I was a week ago, but Clinton is still the favorite.

I'll do all I can to help Bernie. I think I'll have to reach out in other ways, since Florida is complete Hillary country and I don't expect the state to be close.

8. Bernie will win the pundits when he starts issuing their substantial paychecks in the meantime

the less than 1% corporate media conglomerates; will be taking of that and their interests don't match up to Bernie's message of gross income inequality, economic justice and major campaign finance reform.


Thanks for the thread, demwing.
