By supporting Trump or Bernie, the people are displaying their will which is scaring the media, corporations and the entrenched political system. Wouldn't it be really great if Bernie's candidacy is fully supported by individuals? I have.

So far, I think it is. I learned recently that Bernie has received more [i0individual[/i] donations than any other candidate. I think it must have been mine that put him over the top.

I don't know how credible this poll is, but Sanders and Trump came out on top in the Iowa State Fair Poll.

OK, it's a Faux News Poll.

However it's the newest one out, and according to it Bernie is steadily gaining on Clinton!

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2015...ns-on-clinton/

Quote:
On the Democratic side, Clinton drops below 50 percent for the first time, while Sanders keeps climbing. She leads among Democratic primary voters by 19 points (49-30 percent). Two weeks ago Clinton was up by 29 points (51-22 percent). A month ago she had a 40-point advantage (59-19 percent).

Vice President Joe Biden, who is undeclared, receives the backing of 10 percent.

The remaining Democratic candidates are at one percent or less.

I don't agree with Sanders' policies and I won't vote for him, but I think he would be an excellent next door neighbor - there aren't many people you can say that about.

I really doubt that's going to happen. Bernie and Hillary are close friends and allies.

Seems to me who ever is behind will have to go negative & Hillary could already be in 2nd.

Bernie may very well win the New Hampshire primary but the national polls all lean toward Hillary and she has the well oiled ground campaign up and running. She also campaigns better as an underdog.

Fwiw, I'm glad to see a true lefty sparking up the young troops. Most of us old feckers on the left are too gimpy and worn out to be marching and attending rallys. Unless Bernie gets the Eagles or Hot Tuna to perform at one of his shindigs, I'm stayin' home.
