22. Fortunately this time it is not. Bernie Sanders is the candidate we have been waiting for for

a long time. Voted against the Iraq War, against the Patriot Act, against the TPP, against DOMA, against NAFTA. If people really want what they say they want, they have an opportunity now to get it.

Next to Sanders, there is O'Malley who would be my second choice. I wish he would, like Bernie, refuse to take Corporate funding. THAT is how to get the money out of politics, when candidates stand up and say, as Bernie has, 'I don't want their money'. THAT is why he is free to be as truthful as he is, to name names, because he is beholden ONLY to the people.

And he is going to win. As he said, don't listen to them telling us 'he isn't electable', THAT is what they want you to believe'.

He has been elected so many times, by huge majories, you have to wonder who these people are who say such a ridiculous thing. IF the people vote for him, he will win, it's that simple.
