5. I'd rather he spend his time in important swing states with lots of electoral votes.

But I guess NH is more convenient.

11. I have to agree with you. The swing states are really important. But everything will help.

We all need to get out and help her. Holding a small fundraiser next week with family who haven't voted for the past in the past three elections. They will now and they may not know it yet, but they are about to ante up pocket change to contribute. (Family is not really well off but if they can buy beer and cigarettes they can contribute $50 to helping save their own selves from a coming storm if Trump gets elected.)

Because he is from next door and he trounced Hillary there.

15. He did very well, especially with white men, in lots of states that are more important.

"Some" of his supporters still hold animosity towards Hillary. Would hate to see booing going on every time he mentions her name. Optics going into the fall would be bad. Its already been proven he has no control over his revolution.

8. You would have him have "control" over "his revolution?"

If that's how your understand it, you don't get the concept.

9. Well It seems like many I are angry he can't lead it- and with the screw ups so far....

Leading to more scandals than accomplishment, it is A dissapointment for many. I think a lot of people didn't realize he could not do that and remain senator. Same people who were obsessed with the appearance of conflict of interests welcomed them if it would only be Bernie.

10. There are "Bernie" groups meeting in my little town and all over this country.

I use quotation marks because the groups are not about Sen. Sanders so much as they are about taking some of the energy of his recent campaign and applying it to the transformative politics that we so keenly need but are not getting from our corporate Democrats. Other action groups concerned with environment, income inequality, health care, race, strong communities and many other issues are starting to coalesce around this energy and these gatherings.

Whatever "scandals" and "conflicts of interest" you're gaining from the media are not important. DU is worthless now. Turn off the TV. Work face-to-face with people who are ready to create the future.

12. Ive been working on various campaigns for years but thanks for the advice!

I'm probably helping with 2-3 out of state campaigns where we can pick up voters, since my state is reliably blue that's what I do every two years. Was just commenting on the one "Revolution"group but it seems like Brand New Congress might be the one to watch.
I prefer not to go to local meetings- you'd be surprised how the men dominate the conversations and expect women to take notes and do the scut work. Can't imagine how much worse GOP women have it. No thanks with the meetings.
