57. I have Zero reasons

May 2015

for "inflating" what I am personally hearing/seeing in my local area/family & close friends...We are All behind Sanders.

I'm certain others have different experiences...naturally.
So, one individuals experiences do not reflect the "whole".

It's a long, long, long journey to the primary election (in politics it's an Eternity) so Anything and Anybody can still happen.

Personally, and I only speak for myself: I am a Bernie Supporter who like HRC and Also wants to hear Everything from All of the candidates so I can make the Best decision next year.
I say, bring on the Dem Candidates.....every last one of them. It has been a Long damned time since we have had Real choice.
For those who are not posing as a Dem supporter...It saddens me to see the "snarking" between Sanders VS HRC crowd.
Open minds, imo, make the best and most informed decisions.

But I don't, I'm sure...reflect everyone's opinion about that
