Want proof? Bernie's campaign!

Yes, the game is far from over. But all the suckers who say Bernie can't win or can't do something have already been proven wrong.

The success of his campaign itself is living, breathing proof.

Refusing SuperPACs. Returning donations from less than desirables. Getting essentially no party support. Absurdly little press coverage. Relying entirely on small donors.

Despite all that, he's now on a hyperbolic trajectory. Now in position to take IA, NH, and NV.

And you know what? I'm not surprised. Not even a little.

Yet, you told me that even to get close to this far could never happen.

Keep telling me what Bernie can't possibly do. To me, your opinion of "impossible" means jack.

I wholeheartedly agree with you Bernin4U, on all points.

I'm glad you opened with "Yes, the game is far from over.."

Because I's starting to think the only thing that could stop Bernie at this point is if we
relax into complacency, believing that he's becoming "inevitable" <- a toxic poison.
Exhibit A: Team Hillary

Thanks for your OP

Which is why, to think something -can't- happen, is foolish.

Also why I say, winning teams always play like they're a goal down. They stay hungry, no matter the score. No such thing as a comfortable lead.
