Sanders is not only drawing huge crowds, he is starting to rise in the polls and has established himself as a threat to win the Democratic nomination. A recent poll by Suffolk University in New Hampshire has Bernie Sanders within 10 points of Hillary Clinton in the granite state.

David Paleologos is the director of the Suffolk University Political Research Center, which conducted the poll. “Don’t underestimate the power of the progressive nerve network,” Paleologos said, adding: “It is alive, far reaching, and it is translating into political muscle in the New Hampshire Democratic primary.”

Could the same thing happen in other primary states? The Suffolk University poll found that Hillary Clinton leads Bernie by only three points among those who “know both” candidates, which suggests that the race could change significantly as more voters learn about Bernie and his platform.

Over the last week Sanders staff in Iowa has doubled. The campaign continues to welcome aboard former Run Warren Run staff members.

“Elizabeth Warren is a good friend. Like millions of her supporters around the country, I have great respect and admiration for her,” said Sanders. “That is why it is so gratifying that so many people who wanted Elizabeth to run for president are now getting behind our campaign to restore America’s middle class and take on Wall Street and the big banks.”

In Iowa, Sanders’ campaign hired Blair Lawton, who served as field director in Iowa for the Run Warren Run effort, to serve as political director. Sanders’ new Sioux City regional field director, Susana Cervantes, was the Western Iowa Field Director for Run Warren Run; the Iowa City regional field director, Beth Farvour, was a regional field director for Run Warren Run in Iowa’s 2nd Congressional District; and the Dubuque regional field director, Marrgaret Jarosz, also was a regional field director for Run Warren Run in Iowa. These hirings are significant since these organizers have been on the ground in their communities for months and have developed relationships with local Democrats and identified progressives that will give the campaign a boost. There will not be a learning curve like there would be for many new hires. The new Iowa state director, Robert Becker, said, “Run Warren Run has been on the ground in Iowa for six months now, organizing Iowans who share the progressive values that are the foundation of the Bernie Sanders movement. The staff assembled by Run Warren Run are extraordinarily talented and passionate, and their transition to our team is seamless.”

1. This just proves that what I have been saying is correct

That when people find out about Bernie, his story, and his consistency, they will support him, and vote for him.
This shall get him the Democratic Party nomination for president.
Then, once EVERYONE finds out about Bernie, his story, his consistency, and his 40+ year reputation for fighting for what he believes in, without taking corporate money, there shall be a landslide in the presidential election like never before seen in this country!

4. So far.

But there is a long way to go.

Step 1. Win the nomination.
Step 2. Win the election.
Step 3. March on Washington.
Step 4. Get his program through.
Step 5. Organize the world for a mega Marshall Plan on climate change.
Step 6. Get to zero net new carbon and negative population growth.
Step 7. Adapt to the coming climatic shit storm.
Step 8. Hope we acted soon enough.

I think that's our best shot. Between Bernie, the Pope and Naomi and millions of revolutionaries in this country, we just might make it.
