86 Year Old Grandmother Tells Why She Supports Bernie . . .

Last edited Mon Feb 8, 2016, 04:56 PM - Edit history (1)

and I just fell in love with her. She may be 86 but she knows honesty when she sees it. And her insight into Hillary is perfect!



FYI - this is not MY grandmother . . . but I think she may represent all of our grandmothers!

talk my 80+ mother into voting for bernie, like me and my brother do, but she is firmly in the hillary camp. no talking her into it at all! believe me, i've tried. she thinks bernie is an old man AND she wants to have a woman president before she dies. that's her reasoning, fwiw.

oh well, at least my bro is on the right side!

I remember her saying how he reminded her of a cross between FDR, JFK, and MLK jr.

She died in 2009, a New Deal Dem all her life. She would have loved Bernie.
