Nearly 100,000 independents switched to Democrat to vote for Bernie!

I brought some champagne to the party at Sanders headquarters last night. The shouts of joy and the shouts of approval at Sander's speech projected from Southern California were deafening. The crowd was mixed and everyone was wild with the joy of feeling their political power. There was a sense that this election marked a watershed event and would point the way for California to go! It was the best night of my life in fifty years of voting. It gave me so much hope to see all these young people so very involved and passionate about building a better country!

I live in Illinois. I voted for Sanders with two reservations: 1) He didn't substantiate in detail how much his plans would cost, and 2) I was afraid that if he won, he would be pulverized as an extremist.

Be it as it may, one of the main reason I voted for Sanders is his idealism.

Some of his supporters acted like hooligans and criminals. This needed to be addressed. He should have apologized for their behavior and stated that they did not at all represent his campaign. He should have clearly asked these people to stop.

Also, as it is clear that he's not going to win the nomination, he should 1) campaign on his ideals, and 2) go after Trump.

NV was a crime scene perpetuated by rigging the primary to anoint Hillary to be the poodle for Wall St. There is also no video of any Bernie supporters acting in a criminal behavior. With all the brown shirt policemen on hand, not a single arrest was made.

So stop with the lies.

'Our campaign of course believes in non-violent change and it goes without saying that I condemn any and all forms of violence, including the personal harassment of individuals.'
