I have to say it. I have been pretty depressed for the past few days, but not now.

[totodeinhere]

Bernie gave one of the best speeches of his political career. He is obviously in this to win. This race is far from over. Thank you Bernie.

[leftcoastmountains]

1. I agree. I've been

feeling the same way. Plus his speech is all over the
Internet. I posted only some of the news sites where they posted an
article about his speech. He is also in the NYT, Wall Street Journal
and The Guardian to name some others.

[Kalidurga]

2. I have felt great in regards to the campaign for the last couple of days.

The attack machine has been started up and Bernie has already won. He will not sink to the kind of stuff we have seen over and over and over again from the Hillary camp.

[Geronimoe]

3. Policies have been off the table

Corporate media took policies of the candidates off the table and based the debate on Hillary's fake and recently evolved persona. This is what happened in 2000.... who would you want to share a beer with. And Brits asked, how can American voters be so dumb.

On the issues that Americans face Bernie wins. He is the real deal.

4. I was there Saturday, and I'm pretty fired up!

Go Bernie, Go!

[artislife]

14. Yippee!

It is so good to see him and feel the crowd!

[djean111]

5. Eh. I think there was a great push/hope for the Benghazi thing to get everyone to

either go "Wow! Hillary sure looked Presidential! Fuck the issues! let's support Hillary!" or go all "Poor Hillary! The GOP are meanies and they HATE her! let's make her President, just to make their heads explode!", or something like that.
But that didn't happen. And many people don't really base their support or votes on Katy Perry and Bill performances. Oddly enough.

So, IMO, DU will go back to being the (barely) DMZ of presidential politics.

7. And just because she didn't crash and burn, we should just have a coronation.

Most people didn't even see the hearing.

[TBF]

6. Don't let them get to you -

The Women's Facebook page for Bernie cheered me up this morning when they pointed out that Bernie has won 14 elections in his political life and Hillary has won one. We can do this!!!

[in_cog_ni_to]

8. Bernie has won 14 elections in his political life and Hillary has won one.

Yeah, that brings a smile to my face. See ----->

PEACE
LOVE
BERNIE

9. as Bernie supporters we are not easy market segments

we think critically and draw our own conclusions .

10. This morning at GD-P, nearly all threads are lies about Bernie.

The other camp is up in arms, and I'm not sure why.

The more they lie, the less I like them, and the less I like them, the harder it will be to cast my vote for their candidate, should she worm/buy/fake her way to the nomination.

[winter is coming]

11. You think that's bad? Wait until Iowa and NH.

I think it's entirely possible Bernie could win both, and if he does, GDP will be more radioactive than Chernobyl.

[senz]

12. Hey, you're supposed to offer words of encouragement to the troops!

But I do appreciate the heads up. I have to remind myself that DU is not "major media" and thus lies won't carry that far. But some of the lying memes do float about, so it behooves us to know how to refute or defang them in a way that shows their dishonesty, silliness, and/or desperation.

Or maybe you're just living up to your user name. It's okay.

[winter is coming]

13. I wasn't trying to be discouraging.

The harder they fling poo, the more desperate they are. Hillary's supposed to be enjoying a high just now, yet we're being treated to a fresh wave of bullshit based on the flimsiest of pretexts. Sounds like even camp weathervane thinks the bump won't last.

[artislife]

15. I think there is a concerted effort by the outside coming in

But it won't work on us.

[senz]

18. In the past couple of weeks I've noticed a number of H supporters

making pointed, articulate comments, who seem to know their way around DU -- and yet have a very low comment counts. Quite a few like that.

We also hear that H is overspending her considerable funds, so it wouldn't be too surprising if some of that money were going into influential message boards.

That could also account for the seeming cold, impersonal quality in the way they write.

Maybe.

[artislife]

19. Your guess is as good as mine

wink, wink!

[LongTomH]

17. They're up in arms because Bernie made a point of issues he had voted on, where his votes.......

.......were different from Hillary's votes or previous positions: Iraq War, 'Free Trade' agreements, including the TPP, the Keystone Pipeline, etc. He didn't once say: "Hillary voted for the Iraq War Resolution" or "Hillary was for the TPP before she was against it." He never even mentioned her name.

And yeah, I'm starting to call GD-P: 'Thunderdome'

[Trajan]

16. It get's me down when we have setbacks, .. BUT

We have to remind ourselves > It's a long way to go yet ...

There is plenty of time for further POSITIVE developments ....

I see no other way forward for Bernie, except an ever increasing voter pool ready and able to vote for his vision ...

THAT vision is our vision now too .. and there will be a steady continuation of the organic and natural increases in his voter base and stature among the electorate ...

Hillary is already a known quantity ... Bernie is still a mystery to some voters .... He has plenty of room to change minds still ...

Don't lose hope ... WE are in this to win this ....

I am not stopping until he wins or loses the nomination ... Up til then, Bernie is the man ...

[pacalo]

20. Keep the faith. Bernie's got the fire in his belly to win.
