I just don't see it. I've listened to Sanders for 20 years now and though I found him interesting at times, he never instilled that kind of enthusiasm or electricity in me. It feels too cultist to me, but maybe I'm too sensitive after watching Trump the past few years.

I guess you didn't notice the YUGE crowd Sanders drew to UNH Durham last night (that's how the video begins) but, either way, here's the simple truth...

PLENTY OF AMERICANS SEE IT!

Drawing a big crowd does not make him the right person for president. I was saying I don't understand the enthusiasm and electricity for him, any more than I understand it for Trump. Believe me, I've tried.

Forget the crowds, if you wish. Sanders' popularity continues to grow NATIONWIDE. THAT makes him the best choice to defeat Comrade tRumpkin.

many don't see it that way. For all the super Bernie fans, there are so many who oppose him as the nominee. He is a very attractive candidate for a select group of voters, but its possible it is not enough to beat Trump. For a lot of us, our biggest fear is Bernie cannot beat Trump, something that Trump believes as well.

Its okay to disagree!

Without David Plouffe's genius (and the sagacity of David Axelrod), Barack Obama would not have become president in 2008 AND HE SAYS that Sanders is best positioned for Super Tuesday.




Berners also received some glad tidings regarding voters of color.

He loves Bernie and stands by him. I talked to him briefly this AM and he said the speakers were great, especially Cornel West (whom I think has gone crazy). I am very close to my son but we cannot discuss Bernie.🙄

The media spin is just crazy. It wont matter Bernie won or Pete came in second. The winner is the 3rd place finish if its Amy.

Didn't you know 3rd is better than 1st or 2nd?
