1. Yes it is

I certainly hope the citizens can embrace a progressive politician. It hasn't happened since the 1890s and early 1900s, but now could be the time. If not now, when? Never? Not good enough.

2. I'll bet Debbie Wasserman Shultz

is about as anxious now as a person that jumped out of a plane and the last thing they saw was their parachute sitting on the flight deck.

Hell, both establishment candidates are getting destroyed because muckety-mucks from neither party understand just how angry the American electorate is.

3. Haha, great analogy. It's not like we haven't been telling them, loudly too n/t

9. The real problem is that they just do not care what we think, or want, or need.

Staus Quo or Republican Theocracy are the only accepted measures of political success they use.

13. And we don't care what they think now. So what are they going to do about it?

Either they continue to lose elections, which they are doing, Dems I mean or they start listening to the people.

But one thing is certain, things are changing and those in power are getting desperate as they begin to see that the people are waking up to their games. How it will all turn out is up to the people now.

We either tell them 'well, if we don't get what we want, we'll go along with you AGAIN' OR we let them know now, that this isn't going to happen this time.

Fabulous grassroots energy like his will likely produce thousands of Sanders votes.

5. He's amazing. You're right about the grassroots. He's an ace!

7. Kids are talking

My grandson's (15) history class is discussing the candidates. The teacher doesn't allow them to talk crap (i.e.Donald Trump's hair) they only discuss policy and each candidates platform. Each candidate was given 1 day of discussion. When they got to Bernie they needed a second day. The whole class was participating and active. My grandson said it was really positive discussion where other candidates on the republican side not so much.

Which is really impressive considering he lives in a VERY red area.

14. That's great to hear. I think young people can see sincerity

in people better than older people as their minds are not as clouded with pre-conceived notions yet.

Bernie appeals to young people because he doesn't pander to anyone, including them, he simply tells the truth.

Great to hear your grandson's school is allowing this discussion to take place.

He is indeed. A future leader in the making. His parents must be proud of him.

12. Love him! He knows his stuff and is one smart cookie!

He needs to be a member of Bernie's campaign! He's a great speaker and is comfortable in front of a camera. And he knows more about Bernie than most older adults.

Go Bernie!
