Well, the Sanders supporters sure have come up with a catchy slogan. Not catchy enough for him to get much attention in the mainstream media though. The media are too busy having fun with the Republican party show right now, and with Hillary Clinton's letters to notice the large crowds that Sanders is drawing right now. My theory is that they are only paying attention to the folks who are supported by the folks who own them. They may turn around and find out that there is a large crowd of Sanders supporters standing on their doorsteps with large signs.
Meanwhile, people are paying ten times more attention to Trump's comments about women than they are to his economic plan. Correction, more like a hundred times. Dear Mister Trump, cutting taxes for the super rich has not created jobs or prevented offshoring so far. How will cutting them more change this trend? Did any of those idiots at Fox think to ask questions that really matter to people? Ugh.

I don't understand how Trump can have sooooo many people following him. If he gets like that in a debate, how will he act when sitting across from some foreign leader? If he acts that way to a woman who is on the very station that backs the republicans, how can women think he will be for the rights of women? As for his economics.... look at his own track record. He doesn't have the country's best interests at heart. I could go on but I know you get my concerns.
Ignoring Bernie won't make him go away this time. The people that are just starting to be voting age and up through their twenties have found out about him and are talking about him in place that they hang out.... Tumblr, Twitter, and other social media has shown him in a very bright light compared to the other candidates on either side. If they get out and vote in the primary, he will have a good shot at getting in.
