12. Proud of Team Bernie tonight.

When I saw the headlines early Friday morning accusing the Sanders campaign of data theft I was heart broken. I worried that my dream candidate had truly been involved in something horrible and corrupt and was about to go down in flames. I just had a sick feeling inside.

In one day Team Bernie was able to get the facts out to the public as to exactly what had gone down. Using his legal Complaint to quickly and carefully lay out the details of what had happened, this week and in previous months, and what the relationship was between his campaign and the Voter Data systems was brilliant. He and his team have cleared my mind up that not only were their actions legal and appropriate, but that he is the man that is ready for the 7 a.m. phone call. He and his team have great resilience and great ability to "put out fires". Of course, it helps to put out a fire if there is no actual flames there to start with.

This in contrast to HRC who has not been able to put out the Benghazi email fire after over a year.(Another fire with no flames). HRC may have been able to contain the damage of E-ghazi so that it did not consume her entirely, but she came out damaged all the same.

Bernie today showed how you handle controversy and thus passed a huge test today. Congrats!

Tonight I feel more committed than ever to my candidate.
