I've been phone banking since Iowa and as I talk to each state, I gain a sense of the people in those states.

I noticed that many (mostly men) wanted to talk and less women in KY. I feel that privacy is greater, but if you're friendly, and I know those of us doing this phone banking ARE, then you hear the soul of what you keep hearing here within the Bernie Sanders Group.

1) People do not have faith in their usual television run by corporate sponsors, and therefore, the news.

2) Some people do not have ANY form of communication outside their immediate community, yet they are listening to Trump. Not, necessarily because they think he's the answer, but because of the way he departs from the rest of the R's.

3) Just about everyone (and I did NOT ask this question) cannot bring themselves to trust, like and certainly vote for Hillary Clinton. Mostly because of her constant changing positions. They think she's a liar.
