up with new methods of dealing with the new tech. But I'm for not informing them anymore of just how outdated their old tech is. Let them keep posting those old polls. It keeps them from working to get their candidate elected and that's fine by me.

Anecdotally I haven't personally seen any real passion for Hillary, but if she wins the nomination, I guess I'll hold my nose and vote for her in the general. Here in Florida, I'm on the road all day, and I see at least 5 Bernie bumper stickers for every Hillary bumper stickers. We'll see.

Too many signs all over the place. And I don't mean yard signs and bumper stickers. I mean events, discussions with people, Facebook, Twitter, Reddit you name it. And on and on.

supporters forget that at this point in 2007, Hillary Clinton was well ahead of Barack Obama and was obviously going to win the nomination and be our first woman President. Didn't happen then, and I don't think it will happen now.

On a large 2 foot by 3 foot foam board write

HONK
FOR
BERNIE

Go to a busy intersection and hold the sign up high so the drivers can read it.

A couple of things will happen, it might get loud with horns honking and others will realize how many supporters he has.

Now is the time for a real progressive populist movement, but the message needs to be clear and not overly complex and it needs to be repeated over and over to drive it home into the minds of the people.

This storm could fizzle out if enough eligible voters sit out the 2016 elections. We all need to work on registering everyone who's eligible and getting out the vote, by absentee ballot and early voting where necessary.

Too much is at stake to let the candidate anointed by Super PACs and corporate media breeze into office!

I'm working as best as I can to register the millennials because that's where it's at if we are to win this. And if this "storm" is coming, I also agree (but for a different reason) that the youth vote is vital. I want the M$M to get a big surprise when their polls kick them in the rear from the youth vote showing up to vote. That would be delicious. And remember, most all in this demographic have cell phones-not landlines.

makes me feel good that people flock to Bernie once they understand his policies...

The other person just announced that her foreign policy would include ground war in the Middle East...a sure-fire way to make the situation much, much worse...pandering to right-wing Repukkkians, I suppose...
