Sitting next to Bernie Sanders on flight home very Proud that he's from VT. Feel the Bern !



Bernie is still mingling with ordinary people, on planes, on trains and I've read he often just drives with a friend to get to DC from Vt.

People do worry about him but I guess he wants to stay in touch with the people he feels most comfortable with as long as he can.

Phish for Bernie! Bernie has the most cool supporters!

I also love how the guy from Phish says don't take my word for it, check him out yourself.

That's enlightened.

Bernie as usual, seems to be deeply engrossed in something serious.
