Gave out a Hillary 2016 bumper sticker to a total stranger this morning. (HRC GROUP)

I was getting gas at the filling station and a vehicle with 3 late 20 to early 30 something women pulled up at the pump behind me. The driver got out to fill up and said, "I love your bumper sticker!" I asked which one because I have several. "Hillary!" She asked where she could get one and I told her she's got one. I had some in the car. Her passengers got out, they wiped all the dirt off the bumper and put it on right there! Right next to an Obama 2012 sticker. Then they were posing around it giving thumbs up and peace signs and taking pictures. Very cool! We were getting very obvious dirty looks from some grumpy old man a few pumps over. Don't know if he was a republican or a Sanders supporter. We all noticed and one of the gals shouted at him, "Hillary 2016! Whoooo!!!" He looked ashamed and got back in his car.

Just a very cool little encounter.

Bumped into the same group 15 minutes later at the grocery store and they all thanked me again. Very nice.

if he was a Bernie supporter he would have to loudly ask why you were voting for a war mongering corporatist who fixes it so that no one knows who Bernie is, will only debate on days that are bad for Bernie, owns the media and has bought the heart and soul of 99% of elected Democrats!!!!!!

They were so enthusiastic! So nice to see.

My partner and I are having a debate viewing tonight and my daughter is bringing 4 or 5 friends.

Should be fun.

I meant to say ".. Friends, Family, and SO.." in my previous post.

Can't wait to hear what you have to say about the debate, Kath~
