Bernie is going to win.

You can feel it.

People you never thought would consider a socialist as President say "have you heard about Bernie Sanders?"

'Just had to say it.

- Hillary supporters post fluff pieces all the time so here's a Bernie fluff piece.

However, mark my word, Bernie's going to win. It's happening and it's great to be part of it.

Something happened in December. He gained momentum. He's crowds grew in Iowa during mid- and late-December. When his campaign was frozen out of the VAN, Democrats in my state went wild. I think that incident galvanized the Bernie campaign and all of his supporters.

His January crowds have grown since December, btw. 2,500 for his last rally in Sioux City. Clinton's crowds are about 5 times smaller, averaging around 500.

The momentum is growing and growing.

I felt it when the Sanders event I RSVPed to attend in Minneapolis that expected maybe 400, drew 5000.

The first time I KNEW I wasn't alone Feeling the Bern.

The Revolution is on.

Instead of the same 'ol same 'ol we're going to get a revolution. A new era.

America takes a hard left turn, just in the nick of time.

supporting him on his presidential run, although his entry into the race has raised awareness on critical issues. For that, he deserves heaps of admiration and respect.

Lol, what? Every pro-Bernie thread in the DU, some with barely a paragraph of rah-rah cheerleading, gets 100-200 upvotes every day.
