SOCIALISM IS NOT THE ANSWER BERNIE! SOCIALISM IS NOT THE ANSWER

Okay, I guess you're against the fire department, the police, national parks, public libraries, etc.

Nonsense.

The question isn't whether or not America is socialist, it's how much socialism exists in our country. Everything I mentioned is an example of socialism, and only don't tend to be considered socialist because we're used to them.

Bernie is killing it. He may not be convincing any of his supporters in that room who aren't already for Hillary, but I would definitely bet that some of his more reluctant supporters are having second thoughts about her.

Well, for one thing, there were more dislikes than likes on Youtube before Bernie started speaking, and now there are more likes.

Apparently Bill's speech tonight might be longer than an hour. This'll be good. Hopefully he plays the sax.

I hope he devotes a section to explicitly battling the claims of Berners.

He's the worst person other than maybe DWS for that job.

Agreed. That would backfire so badly. He should focus primarily on Hillary.

The way things are going, it looks like SC will be the one that puts Hillary over the top, unless they defer to another state.

Looks like South Dakota will put Hillary over the top. It's meant to be. Happy South Dakota Farmers have never been happier.
