Bernie brings in more than the young

I was a 2016 Bernie volunteer and talked to thousands of people. Bernie brings in young, old and in between, but even more importantly he attracts Republicans, Independents and people who never voted before.

One of the people I talked to was a 30-year-old Iraq veteran who had never voted. He not only supported Bernie and registered to vote for him, but was also eager to work for him. He said, “Tell me where to be, and I am ready to work.” He was representative of many I spoke with.

I also wore my Bernie shirt to Costco right after Clinton took the primary. Three people - two older women and a middle-aged man came up to commiserate with me that Bernie would not be the candidate. I get so angry with the MSM meme that Bernie only attracts kids. I know better, and this senior citizen will be working my tail off to get him elected this time. I am convinced that he would have then and still can beat that creature now inhabiting the Oval Office. As for his age, there are plenty of good, younger, capable VP possibilities to ease that fear.
