How many people thought six months ago that Bernie would have 45% support nationwide???


Answer: practically nobody. I'm even amazed how his numbers just keep climbing.

And we have a few posters saying it's time for Bernie to drop out? Now?? LOL!!!

Bernie is only a few percentage points from being the frontrunner. The next few weeks are going to be quite a wake up call for complacent Hillary supporters.

I have never seen anyone do what he has done nor the way he has done it.

He's honest, decent, principled - a wonderful man.

4. He has 40% at best, which is not enough to win the nomination

He is 20 points away from the frontrunner. Not a "few percentage points."

Congratulations on your moral victory, but we still are not going to nominate a socialist.

And the election results to date have him at 39% of the popular vote. I'd say he is running at about 40%. And he needs 60% to mount a comeback.
