You got that right. Maybe some are just waking up and I can grant them that. But yes, Bernie is the compass for most of it and it saddens me that he is being smeared into some kind of ill meaning ogre by the Camp that should know better - this will not work, it didn't work in '08 and it will not work now. Stop the lies and talk about the condition of the people of this country and how to improve it and don't go Kardashian for gawds sakes.
