Wow. I'm agreeing with Chuck Todd and Tweety.

Bernie supporters have concrete, positive reasons why they support him. They have specifics, they have energy. Hillary supporters? Not so much. Nothing much past "she can win" Lack of enthusiasm. He's won the message war. You can disagree with his message but he has one and it's resonating- and that's missing on her side.

(Paraphrased but not far off, and both agreeing)

It's a confluence of two things: Her "inevitability" (which was once rock solid) is crumbling. Bernie's support is increasing as people get to know him and hear his message.

He is rising. She is falling. The more he rises, the more she falls. It feeds on itself.

The most difficult challenge is to begin to move those two dynamics. We're through the most difficult phase.

I think this is it. Some things cannot be denied, so the M$M has to constantly come-along
to catch up to reality.

I have felt the exact thing for weeks now. This is an avalanche that is going to storm right to the White House. We are living through an extraordinary time.

My post from Feb.9:

Chris Hayes: Hillary has no message, Bernie's campaign is stellar
He listed the things Bernie was running on, like 4-5 things, then said Hillary is running on "I will do a great job. I know what needs to be done and I will do a great job at it." But doesn't say anything about what she plans to do. He said she has no message. Not at all.

Then he said Bernie's campaign is the best run campaign out of all of them this year. Everything about it is top notch, ground game, message, everything.

They know the people have spoken and I think they don't want to end up on the wrong side of history and become completely irrelevant. http://www.democraticunderground.com/12511188629
