It looks like one of Bernie Sanders' main campaign phrases from the intertubes - #feelthebern - is catching on as a mainstream idea - so much so that spin-meisters are using it in a political ad against Republicans now. This ad is from a (conservative!) Democratic candidate running for Louisiana's State Senate, Mickey Murphy
At 00:24 seconds in Mickey Murphy says : "Feel the Burn Gov'nor, we gonna clean up Your mess!"
IMHO, Feel The Burn is now morphing into a symbol, an Idea, one that has transitioned to Mainstream thought just as "The 99%" did a few years ago - symbolizing a Movement to be feared by the Establishment, i.e Anyone, regardless of Party affiliation, who is party to the ongoing corruption of Our beloved Republic on any level - not just a campaign slogan for one candidate.
If nothing else, Senator Sander's has brought this idea to the table and his campaign is a success no matter what happens in the primaries.
Feel the Burn Establishment!!

Feel The Burn Governor Jindal! Campaign slogan morphing into a Movement?
(Note - Not certain where to post this - perhaps General Discussion would be more appropriate but it is partly about one of Bernie Sander's campaign slogans so I posted it here in GDP.
