Check in if you sincerely believe that Bernie can win. [View all]

I'm tired of all of this "Bernie can't win" stuff. If I didn't honestly believe he could win I would not be supporting him. He is not one of those symbolic candidates just in it to get attention. He has said that he believes he can win and I believe him. Unlike a lot of politicians on both sides of the aisle I have never known Bernie to lie so if he says it he means it.
