In reply to the discussion: Bernie Sanders- Now A FACEBOOK INFERNO [View all]Le Taz Hot
(22,271 posts)8. Which means that he appeals to young people,
something the Practical People told us couldn't happen because Bernie is so old. I understand people of all ages use social media but I don't think there's any doubt that the majority of those people are under 40 -- a VERY good sign.
I said this two years ago, Hillary's popularity is a mile wide and an inch deep. She has Wall Street and she has the Party Faithful and that's it. She has nowhere else to go for support. Progressives aren't going to touch her and she has ZERO crossover appeal. Her campaign is stagnant and will stay that way. Bernie's campaign, however, just keeps gaining momentum and in a Yuuuuge way.
Feel the Bern, baby!

He's on fire on twitter also. New groups every day, people starting accounts just to support him.

Bernie is reawakening the same hopes we had when John F. Kennedy was our President!
