Bernie was here today in Winston Salem, NC. And I went to see.


It was energizing, exciting, huge crowd. Bernie in real life is just as he comes across on TV, and how he has come across to me over all the years past. Credible, vigorous, and determined.
Nina Turner pitched the crowd to a fever and introduced him.







I felt privileged to be there.

of monumental proportions between the rally for Bloomberg I went to a couple of weeks ago, when he was here in person, and what I experienced today with Bernie.
Like a gulf of one.

Many people are frustrated, trump exploited people’s frustrations by inflaming their fears, anxieties, and prejudices. Sanders addresses people’s frustrations by giving them hope.

I saw him once in 2016 (crowd and Bernie were enthusiastic even though PA and getting the nomination looked bleak) and will definitely try to get to see him again. Got to have the big ideas for them to have any chance.

I saw Pete here in LA, and I was excited too!

And I felt privileged as well.
