Just a few samples of what is going on in Kansas and Nebraska today!
Did someone say 'will those huge crowds translate into VOTES?
Looks like the answer is yes!
Can't even find Hillary's supporters.
THIS is why they are trying to END the election after the seven Southern states where the turnout was dismal because they KNOW that from now on, this election will go to Bernie.
And from Nebraska:

We are at that stage now in this election.
She sees her support slipping away.
She sees the huge amounts of money the PEOPLE are giving to Bernie meaning he isn't going to run out of money and is going to go all the way to the Convention.
Meantime, again like last time, she is running out of money.
So what should she and her backers do to stop this unworthy challenger from interfering with her dream?
ACT LIKE YOU WON!
Tell his supporters they may as well join her as it's 'all over but the shouting'.
When she suggested she would 'consider' Obama for the VP slot, she was TRYING to create the impression that it was all over for his campaign and she was now taking control.
As an Obama supporter then her arrogance OUTRAGED me, her dismissal of the Democratic Process disgusted me and made me work even harder for Obama.
I believe I flipped my FIL to Obama from Hillary that night.
How dare they attempt to usurp this campaign AGAIN with the same old tactics that FAILED last time.
It's difficult to express to tone deaf people how INSULTING it is to voters.
She knows that for Bernie the worst part of the campaign is over.
She sees the internals, his rising support among minorities as women as more and more people get to know him, and her own diminishing.
So they are trying desperately to discourage Bernie's supporters having learned NOTHING from last time.
Not ONLY were we NOT discouraged by her arrogance back then we were ENERGIZED and we WON in the end.
And after WE won, it was Obama who got to decide what slot he would consider her for.
This campaign is a repeat of 2008 from the vile use of 'race' and 'gender' to the arrogant assumption that we Democrats are too dense to see what they are up to.
That is worth watching again as a reminder of how she runs her extremely negative and divisive campaigns.
She has the Corporate Media aiding and abetting her, has had all along.
But despite the Powerful Forces aligned against him LOOK WHAT BERNIE HAS ACCOMPLISHED.
We are not falling for it. We didn't fall for it last time.
On to the Convention and the Nomination Bernie!
I am actually encouraged by the now familiar signs of desperation.
Remember When Hillary Said She 'Would Consider Obama For VP?
It was March, 2008. And it was a desperate tactic as she saw her campaign failing.
Obama Rejects Being Clinton's No. 2
Obama also said the Clinton campaign was "hoodwinking" voters when it suggested he was not ready to be president while also floating the possibility of a joint Clinton-Obama ticket.
We are at that stage now in this election.

Imagine all the people, living life in peace
I CAN Imagine that, can't you?
You may say I'm a dreamer
Maybe, but they say if you can DREAM IT you can REALIZE IT ...
And I'm not the only one:
Bernie in Madison
I hope some day you'll join us .....
I really do ....
A Sincere Invitation to Hillary and Her Supporters
And in the spirit with which Hillary extended her invitation to Bernie and HIS Supporters:
I hope someday you'll join us! 
Imagine all the people, living life in peace

Dear Bernie Supporters You've Had Your Fun. Now, Hillary Wants Your Support!
She won the Confederate States as expected. Now she has to try to win over Democrats many of whom were so uninspired by the DNC's choice of candidate they didn't show up to vote.
She is losing in polls now in the upcoming Primaries where Progressives are going with Bernie.
Even in WV and Utah, Bernie is ahead of her now.
And here in NY, amazingly despite the efforts to stop new Dem voters from registering, Bernie is beating her by 2%.
The turnout was low among Dem voters and would have been even lower if Bernie was not in the race.
So despite all the nastiness towards all of us 'racist, sexist BernieBros' Hillary is asking us to 'unite'.
I have to say, as a totally thrilled Berniebro with last night's results I find it INSULTING for her to even SUGGEST that we leave a WINNING campaign for hers when we know she cannot defeat the Republicans.
So, my answer to Hillary's plea is 'how about YOUR supporters coming on over to the Winning Campaign so we can Defeat Republicans in November.
Oh, re BernieBros, anyone remember ObamaBoys?
Now on to the Convention and then to the WH!
Congratulations to Sen. Sanders and his amazing supporters on his incredible Victories last night.
We are changing the face of politics in this country

Clinton To Voter: Why Don't You Go Run For Something
Why Don't You Go Run For SomethingHillary Clinton was involved in brief confrontation with a young woman during a campaign stop in Minnesota Tuesday afternoon as voters headed to the polls to cast their ballot in the state’s primary.
The Democratic presidential front-runner was leaving a coffee shop when an unidentified Somali-American asked Clinton to comment on past racial remarks, including her recently retracted “super-predator” speech, and the lack of diversity among elected officials.
Clinton went on to reference Abdi Warsame, the first Somali-American elected to the Minneapolis City Council, which the woman questioned, arguing he lacked authenticity.

And Hillary has to keep going back to the same people who can't legally give her any more.
I donated tonight but it was just $15.00.

Bernie Sanders Just Shattered Fundraisiing Records To Fund the Political Revolution
Bernie Sanders Just Had His Best Fundraising Month EverBernie Sanders Just Shattered Fundraising Records to Fund the Political Revolution
Zach Cartwright | March 1, 2016
To hear the pundits tell it, Bernie Sanders’ campaign is on its last leg. But if Bernie’s February fundraising totals are an indicator, the political revolution Sanders is calling for has begun.
As of this writing, Bernie Sanders is on target to raise over $42 million for the month of February. This morning, the Vermont senator originally set a goal of $40 million by 11:59 PM Pacific Time after announcing that his campaign had already raked in $36 million between February 1 and February 28. The campaign reached the $40 million goal shortly after 8 PM Eastern Time. According to the Sanders campaign, nearly $42 million has been raised by 1.4 million individual contributions, meaning the average contribution was approximately $30.

Whoa! He raised over $6 Million in 24 hours!
This equates to over $6 million raised in one day on the heels of Sanders’ crushing defeat in South Carolina. The one-day total is nearly as much as Sanders raised in the aftermath of his decisive win in the New Hampshire primary in early February, when the Sanders campaign raised $6.4 million in one day. While the Hillary Clinton campaign hasn’t yet disclosed its February fundraising total, it’s likely Sanders will have outraised the former Secretary of State for the second consecutive month. In January, Sanders raised nearly $5 million more than the Democratic front-runner, largely from a wave of small donations.
A recent Los Angeles Times article showed that some within the Democratic party were doubtful of Hillary Clinton’s fundraising viability if the nominating contest lasted late into the Summer, as the former First Lady and New York senator is already on the verge of tapping out her fundraising base. Many of her donors have already given the maximum $2700 donation one can give throughout the course of an election year.
