71. Why is Bernie doing so great and is only getting greater?

Sun Oct 4, 2015, 12:44 PM

Oct 2015

We are all part of this. When a new person finds Bernie, they stay and no amount of Koch bothers money will change that. Once we get him elected, it is up to us to push for the things we need. That's what the enthusiasm is about, he not only won't forget us once he's in office, but he will still depend on us to get stuff done. At least that's why I'm so excited. Let's see how the M$M dismisses all of this.
