And I would love to see the economic breakdown of these women re Berinie V Hillary.
And these numbers for Bernie are only going to increase as more and more people get to know him.
This woman is a proud Bernie Supporter, the real Feminist in this election.
You can't support WAR and claim to support WOMEN!
Go Bernie!
Thousands More Women Donate To Bernie than Hillary! Money Talks! They Tell US!
Thousands More Women Donate to Sanders than ClintonSen. Bernie Sanders's (I-Vt.) 2016 presidential campaign says they have more female donors than Democratic primary front-runner Hillary Clinton.
Roughly 301,000 women have donated to Sanders's campaign compared to 240,000 for Clinton, a more than 60,00 edge as of the last reporting period at the end of September.

Sanders spokeswoman Symone Sanders touted the numbers as a sign that “the grassroots enthusiasm for Senator Sanders is unmatched by any other candidate.”
“The fact that so many women have decided to donate to the senator’s campaign says that his policies and record are indeed resonating with women across the country,” she told The Washington Post.

After all the "Bernie Bro" talk, Sanders has gained 11 points with women voters since October.
Bernie Gains 11 Points among Women, 16 among Minorities in One Month!
No wonder they don't want Debates. Even though they did everything they could to make sure the least number of people watched, Bernie still benefited enormously from the exposure.
Looks like all those UNSCIENTIFIC polls showing Bernie the overwhelming winner shouldn't have been dismissed so lightly.

People wonder about the strangest things!
But anyhow, that question seems to be cleared up.
The other big question on Social Media was 'what did he mean about Hillary and Maggie Thatcher'?
General consensus seems to be 'Maggie's not a good person to be compared to' so far!
Berning Question on Twitter Re Bernie's Lunch With Killer Mike: "Who Picked Up the Tab?"
Lol, a lot of people were wondering on Twitter last night whether Bernie or Mike picked up the tab.
According to Gawker Mike invited Bernie to lunch according to tweeter, so it's most likely he paid the bill!

Ratings of all Senators can be found at link!
Bernie Sanders is the Most Popular Senator in America at 83% in Poll
Bernie Sanders is the Most Popular Senator in AmericanA comprehensive survey of more than 75,000 voters in all 50 states, conducted over several months by Morning Consult, shows Sanders has the highest approval rating of any United States senator among his own constituents, at 83 percent.
And while voters disdain Congress as a whole, they have much more positive views of their individual senators: The polling shows 69 of 100 United States senators have approval ratings of 50 percent or higher among their own constituents.

Bernie reached 1 Million Followers on Twitter this week!
Sssshhhh, none of them are 'scientific'!
Every marker shows Bernie's growing support once people get to know him.
His campaign is exposing the deep dissatisfaction of the American people with their Corporate Controlled Government.
All they needed was a voice.
Bernie has become their voice and those who control things in this country are very, very nervous right now.
They should be.
Enough is enough!

Another poll that Bernie's wins in a landslide.
I think it is possible that Bernie will win SC. He has a lot of support there among the AA community, know some people there who are very excited about him and now working to get the word out to all those who are not familiar with him!
He has an event coming up in Atlanta on Monday night and he will be introduced by Rapper, Killer Mike!
His friends and supporters in the AA community are going all out to help people get to know him.
His numbers among AAs which were very low, 8% have doubled in one month as supporters and volunteers for his campaign introduce him to more people.
Name recognition was his problem not just with AAs but across the board. We've seen what happens once people get to know him! And it's happening again.

WHAT AN AWESOME PRESIDENT BERNIE WILL BE!
NBC Poll This Week Shows Bernie Closing Gap Nationally to Just 16%. Thanks to Debates!
And he has doubled his support among AAs from 8% to 16% as they get to know him. His ONLY problem was Name Recognition which is why DWS has done all she can to keep voters from getting to know him.
Even with her attempt to discourage people from watching the undemocratic limiting of debates, he STILL was able to get his message PAST her.
All those viewer polls it appears DO reflect what viewers think after seeing the candidates for themselves.
Lol, no wonder there is so much ANGST over those New Media Online polls.
And the flurry of polls we are seeing lately here is a desperate effort to try to make it seem like Bernie is not improving his numbers.
Those polls of course are not capable of gauging Bernie's huge support among voters who are not yet registered as Dems. But they get A for effort I suppose and we get to see how the old Traditional Polls are unable to adequately predict election results anymore due to their OLD METHODOLOGIES.
Thanks to Debates Bernie Sanders is Surging Nationally with All Time High Support
When examining poll numbers, it is important to consider the message behind the data. National polls are not good predictive tools for primaries, which are a series of individual state by state elections. However, the increase in national support for Sen. Sanders indicates that he is becoming more known through the debates, and his overall base of support is increasing.
The duration of the Democratic primary will be determined by the first four states. If Hillary Clinton sweeps the early states, she will roll to the Democratic nomination. Sen. Sanders needs to win or be close in Iowa and win New Hampshire by a sizable margin. If he does well early, Sanders could make this a longer contest.
The good news for supporters of Sen. Sanders is that the national movement behind their candidate is growing. Even if he fails to win the Democratic nomination, Bernie Sanders can take his new campaign back to the Senate and have millions of people fighting alongside him to give government back to ordinary Americans.
The Democratic primary is a no-lose situation for Sen. Sanders. He has become the most popular progressive/liberal in the country, and he is going to be influential in American politics even if he doesn’t win the Democratic nomination.
2015 has been a great year for Sen. Bernie Sanders

There are times that one wishes one was smarter than one is so that when one looks out at the world and sees the problems one wishes one knew the answers and I don\'t know the answers. I think sometimes one wishes one was dumber than one is so one doesn\'t have to look out into the world and see the pain that's out there and the horrible situations that are out there, and not know what to do - Bernie Sanders
