Jan 2016

to see how strong Bernie has become, and the fact that he's been able to generate so much attention, more people are testing the waters. I think he's really started a trend and his strength has given others the boost they needed to get in the ring. Had Bernie not decided to run I doubt this would be happening.

Bernie has awakened "we the people" in a very different way than Obama and he CAN have coat tails. If he fails to become the nominee, I think what he's done so far will have a lasting affect on thousands of people who may never thought they themselves could win. A special plus that he's added FOR this country!
