I made a decision

I am not leaving DU but i am only going to be posting In Bernie Sanders group from now till Bernie wins nomination

I see a lot of echoes In Obama vs hillary in this race only this time we can believe in our candidate.

just like 2008 as suddenly caucus were terrible despite bill clinton won caucus in 1992 and iowa caucus helped John Kerry win
nomination suddenly Iowa and NH are terrible because they are mostly white.

Obama won Iowa In 2008,and then Hillary won NH in 2008 they weren't bad then but now that there is danger of bernie winning
both they are.

After bernie raised 15 million from small donors now the clinton campaign wants us to believe she raised 45 million from mostly small donors.Yeah,and bush won the 2000 election.

don't get discouraged when they flash these national polls.Those are meaningless in primary fight.besides they are always slow In
picking up what is going on.campaigns don't change overnight.the more people see bernie more they like him.

When the debates start i expect O'Malley to hit Bernie.He's running to raise his profile to get picked for VP.Webb and Chafee are going to hit Hillary on iraq and hawkish foreign policy.If Biden gets in he's wild card in debates.

In wisconsin rally he destroyed walker.he did it on issues.the idea he won't go after opponents on Issues has been blown away.

Winning iowa and NH will change race.

Back In 2004 Kerry winning iowa changed race.Dean was ahead of NH before then.that allowed Kerry to win nomination.
Kerry going to voters and being willing to listen to them In Iowa helped him when Dean and Gephardt were seen in war with each
other.I see Bernie as the equivlent of getting voters to see him as listening to him.

In 2008 Obama winning iowa changed the race.it caused people seeing him as being able to win.And gave him shot at NH.while Hillary ultimetly won NH it ended the Hillary is envitial belief of many that allowed obama to win nomination despite what MSM was
saying at time.

"I'm going to check this guy out more closely," she wrote.

His message resonates.

it's the issues and bernie being consent that will beat her.

Hillary supporters tried to deny she dropped In iowa.

While the clinton foundation story is worrying we don't need that or bengzri BS to beat her.The issues will do it.

We need to see the mean, median and mode in HRC's donors. I know there are local Democratic committees trying to do "their duty" by helping this "mostly" statistic for Clinton, who they've been prodded to support.

But, Bernie has come to show an organic component of supporters… That 10,000 standing room only figure is but a sign of "mostly" who supports whom.

It's time for other "mostly" drones to wake up and smell it. And, they will, or, as I just read… shame on us.

I'll keep reading you here, Robbins.

to not support Bernie. Even good Democrats who support Hillary or O'Malley or others, have to like Bernie. This is who we are and what we stand for. I see my husband, who voted for and believed in Reagan, liking Hillary more and more, but he also agrees what Bernie and Elizabeth Warren have to say. He's late to the party, but I'm grateful he sees the GOP as the party of war, hate and stupidity that they are and will say it out loud to every one of his racist relatives.

What I'm trying to say is that us die hard, life long liberals love Bernie because, at long last, we have a candidate unafraid to voice our ideals in public and say, this isn't radical, this is the way human beings can co exist and thrive. Simple truths in a complicated world that all lives matter

the same old tactics the public has had more than enough of. And it's the most active group with the most interesting posters. In fact this group FEELS like it is truly a Liberal Democratic forum with zero Third Way arguments AGAINST real Democratic principles.

Bernie is too classy to peronally attack any of his opponents, but he succeeds in destroying their policies.

That is what he did to Scott in Madison.
