Small moments can be big. [View all]

Bernie got lots of hype for attending the picket march by the local CWA in their strike against Verizon.

Verizon is one of the places that paid Hillary $225,000 for one of her talks.

The CWA has already endorsed Bernie, both locally and nationally.

She attended their picket line to show support anyways.

Was very well received--some chants of "Hill-a-ree" and a top national union guy thanking her for swinging by, saying "we'll be there for you."
