I like to know what they have to say but when its all the same bullshit then why bother with reading anything by them at all. Bernie Sanders can and will win this election. Due to the fact he has a track record that is easily looked up and is exactly what I agree with. I'm only one vote but I have a mouth on me and I'm using it to talk to people about this candidate. I don't mention Hillary at all when I talk to people as I'm not worried about her. Most people I talk to are real receptive of what I have to say about Bernie and say, well, I'll have to check him out. My confidence is that once they do they'll be like me, a Bernie supporter.
