Bernie Sanders just doubled his support in less than 2 months

[rsexaminer]

They said he would have no chance, but Sen. Bernie Sanders is starting to prove all the doubters wrong.

1. Pre-emptive obligatory snark about

"If he keeps up at this rate, he'll be at 120% by Christmas!!1!"

and something about President Kucinich.

On edit: In all seriousness, he definitely has the advantage in enthusiasm. His opponents are repeating lies in a desperate attempt to smear him as racist, which is absurd.

2. Enthusiasm can carry him pretty far

Is Hillary going to inspire high primary turnout? Not sure at this point.

Just generally speaking, if Hillary is polling at 50% and 30% of her supporters turnout vs Sanders polling at 25% and 60% of his supporters turning out it could get interesting.

3. My concern is the high GOP turnout she'd inspire in the general election.

4. When they said 'he has no chance', they meant US, the people. That they had it all wrapped up,

that they would choose our candidates. Now the people are responding to that claim. Showing them that they people have a lot of power, once they figure out what was really going on.

The people have had a couple of decades now to see how rigged the system is and they know it will not be fixed unless they take charge of who gets into positions of power in this country.
