Sanders packed the Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Madison, filling its 10,000 seats to show his bid to snatch the Democratic nomination from front-runner Hillary Rodham Clinton isn’t a longshot.

His Achilles heel is that he takes on the label of Socialist, which in low-information America is a word identified with Communism, Evil, and People Who Kick Dogs. So he should address that early and often, because if he got the Democratic nomination that chink in his armor would give the Presidency to the repressive Republican candidate.

I have high hopes for Bernie. I do know that Hillary is very popular with Democrats, though, and she's got the monetary backing... It would be fantastic to show that the PEOPLE have the power, instead of the MONEY. We, the people, could really upset the applecart if we came together to prove that money in politics isn't necessarily the deciding factor...
Go, Bernie!!!
