"First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win."

Looks like Bernie is heading into to the "they fight you" phase. Winning could be right around the corner.

Who knows? Maybe a win in NY isn't as far out of reach as some might think.

Indeed. Winning is not guaranteed, however. The trick is to keep your eyes on the prize. reformist2 Apr 2016 #1

I believe it isn't so far fetched that he could achieve his dreams with millions at his side. I believe the first thing he would do, is make sure money is not involved in politics again, that way it never interferes with America's economy and future again.

That way laws don't bend around men with money. I believe this. I get reminded of a simpler time that I could only see through a video. Where people were valued more than money. Now, I'll share this video but I'm not implying Bernie is just like Mr. Rogers.

I simply get reminded of this video for some reason. Regardless, it's always nice to be reminded of Mr. Rogers.
