the revolution that is his platform.

The opposition has launched a bewildering barrage of extremely vicious propaganda aimed at casting
Bernie in a most unfavorable light. The media, the Clinton supporters and Trump himself go out of
their way to try to destroy Sanders' chances.

I'm an "old fart" also and I'm glad the audience in Phoenix included people of all ages. But, the key for
the Bernie movement still lies in the young vote.

Keep spreading the "good word". The DU seems to be falling apart right before our eyes.
I don't understand what is causing the collapse.

Trump has totally hijacked the Republican Party leaving the Party with NO control over their destiny.
The Democratic Party Establishment has made their decision. It seems to me that the Presidential election is lumbering along in a fog of partisan thug tactics in a very dangerous direction.
