Think about it: What's going on in Bernie's mind

There are few of us who ever seriously consider becoming president of the U.S. Even fewer take the steps to run. Only 44 have ever .......

Bernie did not begin this run very long ago. Only about a year ago. He started out with the mass of wild hair which proves he had not been grooming himself to become president, he just felt that he had to do it for the country. Not for himself, but for his country.

He got a good reception and each day became more positive about his chances. He began receiving donations and hired staff, and kept traveling.

He knows he won in Iowa. And this morning he is reasonably certain that tonight he will have won New Hampshire. That means his life will change, as it has since he began running, only now, it is a huge shift.

People will be really talking about him now, as they are amazed he has come so far and he really, actually, has a good probability he will win the Democratic Party's nomination.

He must be thinking: Wow. I might just become the president.

I send now, to thee, Bernie, my best wishes and best vibes in support of you. My desire is that you become my President. And I know you can do it. See you tonight.

...he has always fought for the people and I believe he will continue to do that. Whether he wins the nomination or not, it is clear that millions upon millions across the country agree with his message. That gives me hope more than anything else. One of these days 100% of the country will wake up and demand reforms that prevent oligarchs from controlling elections.

Somehow thinking about Bernie leads me to an illustration

I wish I had the talent to put it into form but I literally have trouble drawing a straight line

You know all this is as much a surprise to Sanders as it is to the rest of us.

Anyway, the image is of Bernie standing in a field and all around him the water is coming up. He's looking at the flood, labeled "voters", with a puzzled look on his face and the caption is

"What the fuck? Forty years I've been saying this and NOW I'm a leader?"

Wish I could draw it.

We're on the last leg in our democracy - the Oligarch's final move before taking total control!
Bernie saw that, knew what was happening and stood up to take on the mighty battle...HE'S A HERO!

The man who may be president, will go down in the history books as the one who saved America from itself! We are so, so very lucky.

Today is going to propel his election through Nevada and SC. He may not win SC, but he will come close! Personally, I think he'll win it! Glass half full -

Go Bernie! We've got your back!

PEACE
LOVE
BERNIE
