My cosmetologist says Bernie can win, and here is why...

My twenty something, liberal woman hairdresser has a twenty something, liberal sister who lives in of all places, Montana.

She works in, of all places, a mine.

Yes, a mine.

She is surrounded by hundreds of white men, almost all of which are GOP, as you can imagine.

Guess who the vast majority of them admit to her they could vote for.

Anecdotal, but of value, because if you know these people, you know this could translate elsewhere.

He won't vote for Bernie, but he says he agrees with him on a lot of things and likes that he is truly independent from Wall Street. Coming from someone who has never voted for a Democrat for anything and never voted for a major party presidential candidate, that says something.

We talked about it today....they like Cruz and hate Trump. If Hillary wins they'll stay home. If Bernie wins, they'll vote for him.
