And I don't think Hillary Clinton knows about birds (especially not about little ones).

My best to you.

It was stunning. I could not believe the bird would just sit there as long as it did, until he raised his hand. The crowd went wild.

If that's a sparrow, it;s the symbol of St. Francis of Assissi, patron saint of animals, and the saint the current pope (Who shares many of Bernie's ideals) is named for!

That was what was important. Plus, the fact that a presidential candidate paid attention to a little bird. That is the measure.

My best to you.

This AM when these threads started to appear, there were all these horrible, negative replies from the Hillary crowd. You know, the usual snarky, sarcastic, smug, dismissive posts we are all used to.
But they have slacked off since I think they realize that not even their usual ugliness can dampen this one. Now , THAT is a miracle@!!!
