it seems not a lot of people know who bernie is

i'm retired and can spend a lot of time watching MSNBC, etc. i've been able to learn more about our senators and congressman. i've been a fan of bernie for as long as i can remember.

What makes Sanders’ showing particularly impressive is that the same poll shows that more than half of Americans either don’t know who he is or don’t know enough about him to have formed an opinion.

When asked their opinion of Sanders, 23 percent of respondents reported a favorable opinion of him and 22 percent reported an unfavorable opinion.

However, 38 percent said they had “never heard” of him and another 13 percent didn’t know enough about him to form an opinion.

I think the debates will help. Too bad we have to wait until October. In the meantime Bernie is out there, traveling like a wild man. If we all spread the word the word will be heard!

and let the corporate media analyze the first Repub debate for the next two plus months.





Bernie is continuing to gain ground on social media, so I'm told by the young ones

You can see if there are any events in your area at his site, this is very much an old fashioned, grassroots campaign, and might be able to see what is happening locally.
