10%, 30%, 45%....Slowly but surely, Bernie is convincing everyone he's right. And that he's the one.

At first everyone said his candidacy was a lark, that he'd never get more than 10%. Then the pundits said he was just a protest candidate, and that he'd go no higher than 30%. Because protest candidates never get more than 30%.

But here we are 9-10 victories later, and Bernie's polling at 40-45% nationally. His numbers continue to increase (they've never gone down), and there's absolutely no reason to think his ceiling is at 45%. In fact, the Hillary Camp is scared to death that he has no ceiling, hence their calls for the race to be over. But just as Bernie said, he's not going away. And the more he campaigns, the more he chips away at Hillary's support, as they realize there's actually someone to vote FOR this election, not just a "firewall" against Trump and the Repugs. Brace yourselves, Bernie will soon be at 50%. And he won't stop there. Because he's not going away. You might even say he's inevitable.
