Let's Show Bernie Some Love [View all]

Its been too long since we really showed him some admiration. Towards the end of the primaries, I made a few accusations against Sanders. I said he was only in it for his ego and that I didn't trust him. I have admitted many times since then that I was 100% wrong. He could have sat on his hands and destroy Clinton by refusing to support her after the primaries but he has gone all in for Hillary. Sanders is working his ass off and doing a lot of heavy lifting, even though it probably isn't always easy for him He is a class act and an all around great guy.
