Polls, people who LOVE Bernie, but haz the sadz, posters who literally call Bernie's supporters idiots - quite the sideshow.

Their circular logic is fascinating. On the one hand, they think they can tell us who to vote for in the general election, but scream when we point out that THEY should be voting for Bernie in the primary because he does so much better than Hillary with Millennials and Independents, who'll be needed to beat Trump or Cruz in the general.

I actually do not think Trump will be the nominee, which is fine because Bernie does even better against the other clown car occupants and as long as "the FEAR" is focused on electability, Bernie wins. I expect the Trump panic to eventually subside when it is clear he will not be the nominee. Until then Bernie is surfing this wave of fear and trembling.

Depending on the mood I'm in and the time I have, I'll drive through an upper-crust neighborhood: nice houses and lawns and newer cars.

Last week I drove this route and was pleasantly surprised to see four Bernie yard signs and half-dozen or so Bernie bumper stickers. I didn't see any signs or stickers for any other candidate, Democrat or Republican.

Yeah, I definitely feel the momentum growing.

Bernie said yesterday he expects to win multiple states tomorrow. The polls don't reflect that at all. I think he's right. The enthusiasm at and around his rallies, plus the big demonstration at the Trump rally that was a variety of constituents on the left, suggest to me that younger people are become seriously engaged and turnout is going to be big tomorrow.

She was just checking to see if I was still voting for Bernie and I told her we early voted last week and he already got 5 votes from my family. I asked her how her responses had been and she said all 50 of the calls she had made had already voted and most were out canvassing.

I told her about the CBS poll that had Bernie ahead 2 points and she said Bernie was going to win Illinois because HILLARY IS BROKE AND HAS A ZERO GROUND GAME IN ILLINOIS.

I had a really nice conversation with a likeminded Bernie supporter...vey fun! He's going to win Illinois!

PEACE
LOVE
BERNIE
