Bernie's nation-wide support is GROWING!
People are still learning of his honesty, courage, and integrity. When they read his detailed plans and policies, they realize only Bernie can help us regain our democracy.
The lines on the nationwide polls for the nomination are soon to cross:

In Nevada, Bernie came from WAY behind, and beat the spread. Lots more states to go!
PS: In 1992, Bill Clinton lost both Iowa and NH and went on to win the nomination.

(8,821 posts)However I think that after Hillary won his evening in Nevada, Bernie's momentum has been damaged. Given that she is also very likely to win big in south carolina next, this trend might reverse. We will see in a couple weeks where it goes.

(800 posts)and he likely won't get it back in SC or the upcoming southern states. He'll need to hang in there for a while.

(16,631 posts)apparently he got 22% of the black vote in Nevada, so that bodes poorly for SC.
But a lot more states are out there.
In Bernie's own words:

(20,453 posts)Continue that steady climb with yours and my hard work...
If you work hard enough, well... son of a gun... you get a return, and it ain't dumb luck. It's hard work with passion that makes us all feel the Bern.

(35,015 posts)There's absolutely no reason to be discouraged by today - heck, Bernie was down by a lot just a month ago. This is a long game, and the more people get to know Bernie, those lines WILL cross and never look back!
