We didn't have Social Media when the MSM decided to try to destroy Dean, no doubt with instructions from their Corporate bosses.

If that were to happen today, they would be destroyed for doing what they did.

We are not back in the old days, times have changed. Deception, negative talking points, all of which USED to work, have little impact to day as the people use the tools they now have to mock those who are trying to stop Bernie.

Not only will their money not help to destroy another candidate, it will HELP him to prove what he has been saying, that they will go to any lengths to prevent the people from winning.

So far all their efforts have resulted in more support for Bernie because they just don't get it. People have told them what they want, they want an end to the money that is controlling our elections and they want to talk about ISSUES.

But I'm happy to let them continue to use the 'politics of personal destruction', not my problem if they want to waste all those corporate dollars. It will help my candidate and that's all I care about.

In all fairness, does ANY serious Presidential campaign lack for volunteers? brooklynite Jul 2015 #6

One volunteer usually can't handle the grindingly long hours, but hundreds of them can Bjorn Against Jul 2015 #7
