1. I love this!

I was thinking of your grandpa as an older fella, when I realized that he's only a couple of years older than I.

Oops.

You are a good grandson.

[zeemike]

6. I am with you...I am 72 like the grampa.

But like you the first one I got excited about was RFK and never felt the same way again.

[gordianot]

8. Add me to the list.

After RFK I remember a real comer Gerry Litton who died in a plane crash the same night he won his Missouri Senate primay. Plane engine crankshaft had been possibly sabatoged. Hope Bernie Sanders stays safe. Sanders reminds me of Litton.

[zeemike]

11. That thought has been on my mind too.

But I am afraid to express it.

[magical thyme]

38. probably in the back of a lot of people's minds.

Mine too. I'm 62.

RFK was the first and last candidate I felt excited about.

[BeanMusical]

44. Same here.

I hope that nothing happens to him.

[Snotcicles]

2. Let me give this post

[SoapBox]

4. Great post.

[WillyT]

5. HUGE K & R !!! - Thank You !!!

[Spitfire of ATJ]

7. Meanwhile I talked to someone who says they want Trump....

"Because he can get things done" and "get rid of the wetbacks stealing our jobs".

[Spitfire of ATJ]

10. He was a roofer.

17. These days houses are 2x4s plywood and drywall....

I like older houses.

I had one built in the 19th century. All of the trim and interior doors were mahogany and had mortise locks for skeleton keys. There were French doors leading from the living room to the den and a pocket door between the dining room and kitchen. The dining room also had a big bay window with a window box. The walls were classic lath and plaster.

These days they make homes out of 2x4s, plywood, stucco and drywall. The interior doors and trim are white painted pine.

[KoKo]

33. And not sanded..they just slap on the paint.

It looks okay from afar to the untrained eye....BUT.

Or they skip the pine and go for the Plastic in the Crown Molding.

Yeah..it's for the "Buy and Sell Show Off crowd" who just needs something that looks good for the moment but nothing that will stand the "Test of Time" when the place needs to be painted again for the new owner.

[KoKo]

12. Well at least we know he isn't impressed with the REST of the Repub Lineup!

[Spitfire of ATJ]

18. He thinks most of them are intimidated by the librul media.

[KoKo]

24. Figures....

[Dr Hobbitstein]

25. There was a lady who walked into the music shop I work at..

She's probably mid 60s. She looked up at the ceiling, said "Thank you, Trump", then proceeded to complain about all the black people living in mansions in Boston, ruining the rich neighborhoods. I should note, the shop I work at is in Melbourne, FL. She later went on to imply that she wanted Trump because he would "get rid of all the blacks". Trump is doing quite well amongst the racists.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

29. I bet that woman blames Obama for "ruining the rich neighborhoods"....

All those black people must have gotten a HUGE raise in their welfare payments thanks to "The Food Stamp President".

[Dr Hobbitstein]

31. Truth.

I couldn't believe she felt no remorse talking to myself and my boss about this openly in public. I was ready to start yelling, but my boss is very non-confrontational, and doesn't like to disagree with any customer.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

32. Acting like a kindred spirit really gets them going....

Check out this classic clip from the Malloy Show where he pretends to be a right-winger to string along someone from the anti-gay Christian Action Network.

[a kennedy]

45. It's just sickening to me he has moved to the top of the leaderboard......

and how many racist people are there to root him on. Ugh.....

[Dr Hobbitstein]

48. Well, if you actually look at the numbers,

he's got 18% support. The Republican pool is so diluted right now that 18% is a majority. I don't believe he's in the mainstream of Republicans, but he is in the mainstream of Republican racists.

[a kennedy]

50. I know.....and it's still early, but sheesh......racist bastards. eom

[cantbeserious]

13. Why Settle For The Lesser Of Two Corporate Evils - Go Bernie Go

eom

[nikto]

15. The truths some of us know ---- About the rest of us ...

[RoccoR5955]

37. Thanks for the Noam!

More people should read him
Maybe he can run as VP!
I can dream, can't i?

[MannyGoldstein]

16. More proof that Sanders is truly

a right winger, and not the true Lefty that moonbats think he is.

America needs a real life-long Third-Way Progressive, not some "Socialist" that suddenly embraced Leftist ideals.

Regards,

TWM

[PSPS]

20. LOL. You're the best TWM!

[Jester Messiah]

47. Hah! [nt]

[Lifelong Protester]

19. Thanks for your post.

And I second (or third) the posts about RFK. He really was 'it' for me, too. Haven't felt the same since he died...then Wellstone.... be safe, Bernie!

[jwirr]

22. I have two signed photos up above my dest: FDR and RFK. Would like to add one of Bernie. And

yes, they are the real thing.

[Depaysement]

21. Funny you posted this

It's almost like grandparents and grandkids get it, but I'm not so sure about everyone in between!

[MadCrow]

46. This one grandma who gets it!

When I graduated high school Dwight Eisenhower was President, and I and all my family were Republicans. Today I am an ardent Progressive Democrat'. It's not so much as if I left the Republican Party they left me! Now I support Bernie. I have listened to him for years on the Thom Hartmann radio show. At a family picnic on the 4th I was talking to my grandson, a recent college graduate, about Bernie. I found out that both he and I had contributed to Bernie's campaign . Now 3 generations of my family are going out on July 29th to support him and work on his campaign.

[Depaysement]

49. +1

[MerryBlooms]

23. Awesome.

[BeyondGeography]

26. Very sweet

Love it.

[still_one]

27. It is a nice post

[Enthusiast]

28. Kicked and recommended a whole bunch!

[mahina]

30. So he's going to register as a Democrat? Hope so...

Now off to rtfa..

[Bryce Butler]

34. The OP posted this responding to someone else...

"Yes, he is going to change his party affiliation."

[mahina]

35. mahalos

there are quite a few who will, and I'm feeling sure that millions will when and if they ever hear his message.

He's been incredibly disciplined about staying on message, which has to be a bore.

Go Bernie!

[RoccoR5955]

36. That's all it takes

Like I keep saying, the more people hear about Bernie, his platform, and his story, the more they shall support him!

[JackInGreen]

39. At any age

The truth will set you free.
bravo on keeping that connection and bringing him in!

[ebbie15644]

40. It is great! but if he listens to FOX it won't last

[Raymond31]

51. Just give him time.

Just give him time.

[Thespian2]

41. Excellent

Your last statement about this election is so very true...
