17. Years of wishing for it and believing it would never happen...

I'm right with you, azmom! I have done the same thing. Watching him on CSPAN, hearing him on Thom Hartmann, wishing he was my rep, my senator. Never thinking he would run for POTUS. Wishing he would, and dismissing the idea. He didn't seem to entertain the idea himself, he just did his job, focused on the work of governance and representing his constituents with reason , common sense and critical thinking. I'm so glad he's running and forcing a discussion of real issues. It's so much fun to watch him circumvent the media games and get his message out. He has passion and fire, and he's so genuine. And he's the same Bernie he's always been. I love it!

agreed, positive interview - But not because of Wolf demwing Sep 2015 #24

It was a great interview DESPITE Wolf. His every question was about attacking other candidates... arcane1 Sep 2015 #26

Exactly. Left Coast2020 Sep 2015 #32

Bernie did a great job of staying on message and all Wolf could do was try to personalize the race. Uncle Joe Sep 2015 #22
