… mainly that a platform that targets "the people" by preserving what people pay into (pensions, social security) who also care that a healthy society is capable of enhancing new job markets while taking care of our veterans is nothing more than the right definition of the Social Democratic state which made our nation what it WAS and what it can STILL BE.

What's not to understand about Bernie Sanders' platform? He is standing behind our potential. Glad Papantonio sees this.

As a veteran and a union member I agree with everything Pap has to say about Sanders. I am proud that he spoke at an IBEW union hall in the video.

Nobody gives a shit what I say anyway - that's fine. But when I say that I could SEE this phenomenon coming even before it started gathering real steam - I'm just telling the truth about what I envisioned. I'm no "sooth" - no crystal ball predictionist. I just got the scent of Unmistakable genuine even before Bernie officially announced. Hillary, Jeb, the Kochs - no one can quench the flame of genuineness and honesty that this man offers the American populace. If Bernie isn't elected, we're SCREWED.

I'll pop the popcorn just to see how idiotic the chosen ten get as they attempt to out-conservative one another. I hope they pull the whole damn RW shit pie so far right they can't even see the middle anymore. Even the most powerful propaganda machines can't keep the truth away from those who make even the slightest effort to see past the BS generator. CNN lately has recognized they can no longer ignore this contender. I'm sure all but Fox will finally, begrudgingly comply with putting at least some of his sensible alternatives "out there". God knows the conservative rhetoric only echoes convincingly in the minds of the deeply entrenched in the lowest common denominator of thought. The more the Hillary campaign resembles any of that... folks will thirst for more genuine hope and change this time.
