(2,145 posts)Probabilities are that he won't win the nomination. But he's giving a rational to keep everyone trying. He has to stay in to keep Hillary honest. He has to stay in to keep his message alive from state to state to state. I'm bankrolling him just for those things. Wasserman-schultz has an opponent that is channeling Bernie. His message is the seed that will grow if he gives it enough time,light and whatever it takes to keep it alive. Hillary will be judged daily on the promises she made all the way up to the election.
He's not dumb. He knows what he's doing. Screw MSNBC. Screw Maddow and Hayes. Screw Toad and Matthews. Bernie is waking up a sleeping electorate and he's too smart not to know it. He is also to smart not to let on that he understands the math. He is the best we've had in a long, long time and may be the best we'll have had for a long, long time if young people don't hear and keep the message going. They've had a taste. He may have changed a generation.
And if young people get screwed even more by a republican government, they will be the true agents of change because they will carry Bernies message to its right and just end. I believe this: it will not be our former Goldwater girl.
