you miss the whole point, but why am I not surprised

Never try to teach a pig to sing. It's a waste of time and it annoys the pig.

I watched a live stream of Bernie's Birmingham Rally tonight and have a few thoughts to share:

No other candidate has the depth and breadth of wisdom that exists within the soul of Bernie. Bernie campaigns on a "future to believe in." You can FEEL the PASSION, feel the LOVE, and FEEL the CONCERN he has for his fellow Americans. That's not something that can be faked, at least for very long. When someone is speaking from their heart -- you know it -- you feel it because it resonates in your soul. Bernie has a powerful, unifying VISION for America -- for his fellow human beings. He's a TRUE VISIONARY -- a REAL LEADER. someone we can trust and believe in. What does Hillary preach? More of the same. I'm sorry to say that at times she seems nothing more than just another player in poorly acted political Kabuki theater.

Bernie Sanders is the real deal. Make no mistake about it. Bernie has no need to posture. He sees the truth and he speaks it. He asks us to "think BIG, not small." The status quo teaches to not expect much. Hillary relegates us to mediocrity by encouraging us to think small... to be "reasonable." There is NO reason why we can't achieve our important, lofty goals TOGETHER. Bernie urges us NOT to vote against our own interests!!! If we work together, there is NOTHING we cannot accomplish. WE CAN AND WILL DO IT!!!

In the words of the great Winston Churchill: "Never give in, never give in, never, never, never, never—in nothing, great or small, large or petty—never give in except to convictions of honor and good sense."

REMEMBER THIS: “Those that say it can’t be done should get out of the way of those doing it” GO BERNIE!!
