Profoundly presidential and human


We have a presidential candidate who effectively put his campaign in neutral in order to address the massive issue of racism in the U.S. without using it as campaign leverage. Instead, he has encouraged the re-channeling of funds that may have been coming to him in order to help a historic black church rebuild as they have too many times before.
How presidential of him and so very profoundly human.

America will do good when we elect him as our President. I'm convinced we will.

He hasn't a prayer of being elected president. Not slimy or corrupt enough. Not Washington enough

even with being marginalized by the press he is coming on like gangbusters. Bernie Sanders will be our next POTUS
See how easy that was for me to type that and you know why? Because it is my conviction. I believe this from the bottom of my heart. The majority of the American people are ready for a change and this man is offering us just that. A change that is coming I might add

My dino neighbor has had some good things to say about Bernie too. If he doesn't like someone he won't say a word so when he's saying things like he seems like a good man, I like what I hear him saying and things like that its encouraging. Bernie has the younger crowd excited. Everyone likes their grand dad and I think that Bernie comes across as a kind of fatherly figure to them. all of this gives me hope.
We can do this and we must do this.
Hillary is too much of an opportunist for me to fully trust her. I'll vote for her if she's the last one standing but only if. At any rate this is not about Hillary rather this is all about Bernie Sanders and us going forward.

He's not offering us that, he's organizing that.

I'm ready to help!
