To bernie supporters

don't let the clinton supporters bring you down.we have had an encouraging 24 hours

1:Bernie's great speech on democratic socialism

2:The Iowa youth caucus-which by the way nailed the 2012 and 2014 general election results in state which proves bernie has support of young voters

3:Wisconsin poll which proves bernie is more electable

4:NBC's new national poll which has bernie up to 33% nationwide and this being a 16% race.and bernie's support with blacks is now up to 16%

and let's remember the nbc national poll was taken after second debate.

so don't let them get to you.this race isn't over.they can dig up others and dug out endorsements but it doesn't change reality.
Nina Turner is proof some of her endorsements could bolt later.

the Nh chapter of SEIU has revolted from national board to support Bernie.

and let's remember Clinton was ahead at this time in 2007 bigger than now and now Bernie is still in the game in Iowa and NH

1. When I get a push poll for HRC I tell them I am undecided and could be persuaded to vote for her.

campaign stop in Ohio. Former state senator Nina Turner gave a rousing introduction for Bernie and the 6,000+ audience of enthusiastic workers, students and seniors who came from all over Ohio to see him.

So it's been a very good week for Bernie and supporters, in spite of the fact that none of the M$M or even CSPAN TV broadcast his speech on democratic socialism, the topic that has been an issue of discussion and detraction in Bernie's campaign. MSNBC did cover Hillary's live speech yesterday morning on foreign affairs and ISIS.

and didn't cover bernie.

Nina Turner's endorsement and the ohio campaign stop was big too.

The MSM couldn't be more obvious.

also in the wisconsin poll her unfavorably is up to 52%.in important swing state majority of people don't like her.and yet i am
suppose to believe she can get people enthusiastic enough to vote for her.Meanwhile bernie has higher favorably than unfavorable
and has room tog row with don't know enough.

we have seen in past bernie gets huge enthusiastic crowds to come out for him.clinton not so much.and bernie is holding his own
in money race with small donations to her large donors.

Based on Iowayouthcaucus it's actually possible that GOP will vote for carson or Rubio.wisconsin poll shows best chance to beat them is bernie.

I just want to add that taunting is sophomoric and the vehemence of the taunting shows how insecure they are.

The Sanders Campaign is far ahead of schedule.

Whenever they tell me that they are going to win, I say let's count the votes and then one or the other of us can crow.

induce me to support Hillary instead of Bernie. Period.

I do find it entertaining, as a woman, to read that "women will vote for Hillary" stuff.
Not this woman.

they use PPP poll to say bernie is struggling with women.

on social media you will find plenty of women for bernie.

actully if you compare the female vote to black vote in 2008 after obama proved he could win she has trouble as "the women candiate" compared to obama with blacks.

Clinton supporters are those who act like polls can never change so let's just end race now and declare her the winner.

Bernie has been doing pretty well without endorsements by the establishment.

As a former reporter, I have a better understanding of polls and how they function. So stuff coming from Hillery's plastic campaign, I let it go in one ear and out the other. I also shake my head as to how people can vote against their own self interest.

After seeing Bernie all these years and announcing he was going for it, I knew right then I am going to back him. I wanted Senator Warren initially-like many others. But Bernie's campaign is growing on a daily basis. And that's a good thing.

Like many other DU'ers in this group, I also saw this (as a progressive) as our time--our time to truly take back our country from the corporate everything crowd.

So again, thanks Robbins. Your words are needed as a constant reminder for all of us.

SI`SE PUEDE!!
