(538 posts)I grow so tired of establishment Dems accusing us of believing in unicorns & fairies & Bernie is selling us free college, etc. that he could never deliver! Bernie HAS never said he can do this on his own & that we need a political revolution to make this happen!

(98 posts)That truly is amazing. That should be an everyday occurrence in our government. There's hope though that one day soon our public officials will serve their constituents not powerful interests. Bernie all the way!

(15,435 posts)it comes to a member of Congress! My husband is in the other room and MSNBC is one... shortly he'll be done with dinner and BLAPP, CRAP off the channel goes. Thom Hartmann's Show at RT is starting now.
I can't help but hear what MSM says while I cook, but have to leave the room as soon as possible! I wonder as each day goes by how they can SUCK up to TRUMP & HILLARY, but they find a way! It's sickening and makes me FEAR all over again and again how close we are to DUMBING DOWN this country even more!
UNBELIEVABLE!

(1,145 posts)can't get a single thing passed through a Republican-controlled Congress (and we're already being told that Congress is a lost cause, so why even try right?), at least I feel secure knowing that this man's values and integrity means he's going to defend our interests first, especially when it comes to wielding the veto pen.
Bernie has the respect of his colleagues because they know he's a man of principle, and that says a lot.

(1,508 posts)will not only be able to work with republicans, but also get a lot of democrats voted in down ballot if he wins. Who knows, that could change the leadership of the Senate, and maybe even the House.

(1,508 posts)that is elected to our government should have. This is why I will vote for, work for, and donate to the Sanders Campaign, and hope and pray that he wins the primary and the general election. Bernie is a Statesman, and does not appear to be owned by anyone. We don't have many representatives like this in our government these days.
