I'm beginning to warm up to the Bern...

Working my Sunday volunteer job, talking to a lady who lives in Chris Christie country, and she told me she was surprised that all four of her children were voting for Bernie. This is particularly of note since two of her children are active military and the one that is an Army Ranger and a REPUBLICAN says he is voting for Bernie! He says he cannot vote for Trump or Cruz.

Then on my way home I saw two Bernie bumper stickers. No other stickers of any other type. It's a sign!

I have been favoring Bernie from day one but felt no hope for him to get the nomination. I am beginning to think it is very possible!

1. We're told by our party elites that what we want isn't pragmatic, so often we just quit trying.

Then, when those party elites don't get what they want, we get scolded because it's our fault for not participating.

They like our votes, just not our opinions.
