Mar 2016

I haft to agree with you Shireen !! I went to A Bernie Rally Sat. nite in Springfield Missour-a & I was astonished by the number of young(17 to 25) yr olds !! The building held about 11,ooo & they were lined up around the building ( I guess about 3 to 4 thousand ) that couldn't get in !! They had to stand in line for about 8 to 10 hrs !! I left about 8:30 & I was amazed they didn't know they couldn't get in , but they persevered !!

The next morn a friend called me & told me that Bernie Had Security set up a podium in front of the building & Bernie came out & spoke with them for about 40 min. What an amazing man !!!

If Bernie isn't elected POTUS, A great injustice will be done. I'm 71 & I'm still fired up from watching & listening to those future Democrats. Young people are sick of the rite-wing BS & they are going to correct that

I totally agree with you. California is a liberal state with no real racial majority. JDPriestly Mar 2016 #31
The reason California is close to last is because of size and expense yeoman6987 Mar 2016 #38
