Bernie should give Hillary her due on supporting children and minorities...

She has been an outstanding supporter of blacks and women in the political process. We give her that.

But, that is not where our concerns lie. Who is fighting the $15 per hour minimum wage? Who is supporting the big banks and Wall Street? Who is beholden to the special interests that run our Congress and our government?

That should be Bernie's argument tonight.

a mandate from socially conservative Indy voters could mean a shift in priorities- or shelving of issues. most of his supporters here have no problem with that.
