People don't freak out over nothing.

Think about it? If Bernie was really behind, and had no chance like many claim, why is everyone freaking.

People don't freak out over nothing.

People don't freak out over a cloudy sky.

People don't freak out over small waves at the beach.

People don't freak out over a light rain shower.

People don't freak out over a crisp wind blowing.

Nope. People freak out over a Cat 5 Hurricane about to hit land and blast everything into pieces. They know what's coming just like we do.

That's why the Clinton's and her surrogates are freaking out. And they goddamn well should be.

I don't freak out over nothing and I have been known to not freak out over something like fire alarms going off or tornado warnings.

So, it's no shock that I wouldn't be freaked about Bernie's chances I was never that anxious to begin with. However, lately I just believe he is going to win. Now, the only thing that really bugs the crap out of me is the lies about Bernie and his plan for health care for all.

Yes, I would be concerned if there was a Hurricane coming. I have never been through one. But, I have seen the prep work done in videos. So I imagine I would board my place up and go stay with relatives that are more inland or find a hotel room. It doesn't look like anything to go nuts about unless you have no options. If that was the case I would freak the hell out.

Oh, I get it Hillary supporters see their options dwindling. There is no shelter from the Bernie Storm.

And I say that as 50yo man. The main issues for me was money to leave and keeping my family safe. oh, and getting a head start to avoid sitting in traffic with the other 19M assholes in this state.

I've gotten used to it over the years but there's a lot of uncertainty when it's happening.

They are kind of scary. When you have a warning you git to your basement. The only problem is those pesky ones that come out of nowhere without a warning. Sometimes you literally have only seconds upon seeing the conditions and getting to a safer place. I say safer because you might only have a ditch or less handy to take shelter in. If you are sleeping when one happens you are pretty much screwed. I have seen what a tornado can do to a trailer park and yep sometimes the victims of those tornados are in bed.

Over nothing all the time. It's often because they lack any perspective on an issue and have focused in on something to the point they can't tell the difference between a mountain and a molehill through the lense of their microscope.
