(12,582 posts)In the meantime, I'll be watching and waiting as well! My daughter and I intend to work for Bernie just as we did for Obama (although earlier - didn't join Obama support team until he won the nom). That was one of the first campaigns I ever helped with and I'm 51yo. Heck, if they'll have him, I'll drag my teenage son along to help as well - after all, it's his future. He can't vote yet, but he is very attuned to politics, probably because of the nightly dinner conversation in our house.
I'm glad to have been a part of getting Obama/Biden into office as Obama has been awesome 99.5% of the time, I'm sick that Congress has wasted his two terms and made every single step of his way an uphill battle. I do feel the he and anyone that supports the TTP have betrayed us (his voters, the middle class, American workers, etc.) by trying to ram it through in secrecy. IMO, a constitutional scholar should know better than to support such a policy and method of getting it passed. It's not what America is supposed to be about.
I do think that Bernie has enough cross over that he could win this! I have a VERY conservative, GOP, gun fanatic friend who is seriously looking at Bernie. Of course, he's also looking at Cruz and Gowdy also, so .... He actually said some favorable things about Bernie. I'm encouraged because we had a civil conversation about politics. If he can open his mind enough to take that step, I'm hoping other GOPartier's could as well.
