Based on the statistics in this article, I say Bernie is just what America wants!

Polls show that Americans are upset with widening inequality, the political influence of big business, and declining living standards. Public opinion is generally favorable toward greater government activism to address poverty, inequality, opportunity, and climate change.

Most Americans worry that government has been captured by the powerful and wealthy. They want a government that serves the common good. They also want to reform government to make it more responsive and accountable.

On those matters--both broad principles and specific policy prescriptions--Sanders is in sync with the vast majority of Americans.

1. Yes. As has been said, there is a great SILENT MAJORITY of Americans who do not know

they agree with Sanders. When they find out, the establishment better look out!

2. Our job is to spread his message

To everyone. Including republicans.

3. Bernie is mainstream. But some radical money hoarders and war mongers for profit have taken hold

of this country. It happens from time to time in history and it often takes a while to figure out what is wrong, but we know what is wrong now, millions of people know, and more will know by the end of this campaign so their gig is up, the rigged game is exposed and we finally have someone who is willing to take the job of being the voice of a very angry population.

4. Very well said! Yes, the gig is up.

They will fight to preserve their hold on the nation. We witnessed it in the coordinated police attack on Occupy.

On the one hand the corporate media insisted that Occupy was having no effect. On the other hand the media felt Occupy must be denigrated and mischaracterized. I guess they were just following orders.
