Well, what a difference a day can make

Good news for Bernie:
- polls show upward momentum pushing him into the lead in Iowa and New Hampshire. Clinton weakening in Nevada.
- Biden praises him on income inequality, calling Clinton a newcomer to the issue
- Bernie wins the MoveOn poll by the widest margin ever, 79% to 15%.

Bad news for Hillary:
- It's reported that her own campaign is very nervous and starting to show fear; recent attacks against Bernie reflect that
- Her strength against Republicans is dropping, losing to every Repub candidate now in the polls
- New emails released have FBI sources claiming widening of investigation against Clinton Foundation, could involve her directly; she's forced to refute this in Iowa
- Movie "13 Hours" being released this week will hurt her perceptions as admitted by her own supporters

Yup. This is starting to remind me of 2008.

It had to. The Bern is in the air! When everyone you know and every stranger you talk to supports Bernie....People aren't feeling the Hill.

PEACE
LOVE

2. Too much good for Bernie...

What will be the next slime attack from her campaign/Super-PAC's/supporters?

The great thing...the attacks are always stupid and total lies, getting dispensed with immediately.

Speaking of stupid...amazing that her campaign can NOT stick to and talk issues, instead of slime. One would think that 2008 would have been a learning lesson...lesson not learned.

I've longed for a candidate like Bernie my whole voting life and can hardly wait to cast my ballot!

3. I think by this time, only the desperation shows. The Momentum/Force is definitely on

Bernie's side. She too far back for the slime to reach him, IMO.

We've turned a corner, I believe.

4. Bernie is a much better candidate than Obama.

Obama was a middle of the road Dem while Bernie is out pushing boundaries. Obama promised change but brought us more of the same, for the most part.
