It's amazing the difference Iowa has made. Plus to add secret service security for Bernie. The days of Bernie not getting MSM attention is over. Period........

Here's we go baby. Put your seat belt on. The political revolution is about to get a kick off.

I'm loving every second of these monumental moments in history.

But he is firing right back. She has no defense to his accusation that money in
politics has permitted the money class to obtain special privileges that the rest of
us don't enjoy.

sticker down here in TX is the one that says "Hillary Clinton for prison 2016". That is what we're up against. I will say they have an irrational hate of her. I don't agree with what I view as her conservative positions, but they come absolutely unhinged about her.

BTW I have seen a few Bernie stickers down here And plenty of stupid Cruz - they love him.

I'm still losing mine because of SS stagnating because of COLA. I got less this year because of increases in my Medicare and no COLA raise. I half live off a credit card much of the time for emergencies, car repair, Kitty repair etc.. A third of my payments go to interest. This is usury. Bernie wants to change that. Hillary is unaware of what is happening to the poor.

Reddit gets a ton of shit posts, which is ineffectively countered by the community moderation system. If you sort any decently sized Reddit post by new you see much of the same comments you'd see at any newspaper/yahoo forum.
