14. I understand the skepticism

However I believe Bernie is electable. Losing in the primary so many years ago did not mean HRC was unelectable. I believe Bernie can win on the merits of his platform and with the support of those on the other side who also care about the "meat and potato" issues.

All I know for certain is that I, my family & friends...are All voting for and donating to Bernie. And at least at this juncture.......That isn't a shrinking market...it's expanding.

It may be that Bernie loses the primary...but that doesn't mean he's "unelectable".
At the end of the day..no one will know for certain until the day after the primary.
