Bernie Sanders campaigning to knockout presidential candidates with the help from MMA fighters

-snip-
Bernie Sanders is getting more than a few votes from the MMA community for his Democratic nomination for President.

Former UFC women’s bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey has gone on record to say that she is supporting Sanders in his run for President. MMA legend Wanderlei Silva is also campaigning behind Sanders and encouraging all MMA fighters to vote for the United States Senator from Vermont, who has acknowledged his support for MMA fighters to be included in the Muhammad Ali Act, which serves to reduce corruption in the sport and protect the fighters.

Now Sanders has put it out there on his own campaign with a post to his Instagram account featuring a photo of Jon Fitch with the MMA veteran’s quote as the caption reading:

“We like how Bernie supports the workers and workers rights. We’re in a different industry than a lot of laborers. We have a lot of unfair working conditions and there’s a piece of legislation that exists to protect boxers called the Mohamed Ali act and we just want to get the mixed martial arts put onto that bill, so we can get the same protections boxers get.” #HumansForBernie

Bernie Sanders Gaining Support Among Tea Party Hardliners

-snip-
A recent Quinnipiac research poll has revealed some very interesting news. According the results, hardline Tea Party Conservatives are warming up to Democratic Presidential Candidate Bernie Sanders. The poll, which has a 4% margin of error concluded that approximately 21.3% of registered Tea Party Members have a favorable view of the self-proclaimed Socialist from the ‘People’s Republic of Vermont,’ whilst only 3% view the candidate in an unfavorable manner. The Sanders Campaign, which has proclaimed itself as a more ‘reasonable’ alternative to the ‘aristocratic bloodlines governing this nation,’ reacted joyously to the news.

Reddit figuring how to win Iowa

-snip-
Math people: Can we come up with an number that shows approximately how many students need to turn out to get Bernie to win Iowa? Then can we get a petition to pass around campuses to have that amount of students to commit to voting in the caucus?

Can we take the average % of the population that votes in the Iowa caucus (historically)...then take the % of voters that are usually students.

Then come up with an approximate number of student voters it would take to put Bernie over Hillary (using the most recent poll that says Bernie is down by 10%)?

This would give us a more tangible goal, especially on college campuses, that would help encourage those voters to turn out and show them just how much of a difference their vote can make. We are counting on them...we need to give them a specific number to deliver on.
