31. We can not be discouraged. We have succeeded far beyond my wildest dreams.

We have rallied millions of Americans to the side of honesty and have exposed the culture of corruption that controls our government. We've also exposed the minions in our Party that carry water for the Big Powerful Corporations. Seems like they get a charge out of being on the side with the Big Money Power.

I suggest, and I will try to accomplish this myself, is not to interact with the other side. It's like wrestling pigs in mud, they love it and you only get dirty.

I suggest we choose either this Group or the Populist Reform Group and discuss issues, monitor the progress of Hillary's promises, and build a plan for continuing the Populist Movement.

I have not given up hope for Sanders at the convention. It's not over until it's over, but we need to think about contingency plans should he lose the nomination.

Obama did in 2008 by pretending to be a Populist. bvar22 Jun 2016 #43

Obama himself said he was a moderate republican by standards of his youth HereSince1628 Jun 2016 #44

The admission that he was basically a Moderate Republican did NOT happen until his 2nd term. bvar22 Jun 2016 #45

I'm not sure why that date matters, he long knew where his political compass pointed HereSince1628 Jun 2016 #46

It matters because I stated that Obama was able to bring together many MILLIONS of Americans, bvar22 Jun 2016 #47
