I know him well, he's one of the only senators who takes his lunch break to speak on the radio to the people every Friday for an hour & he takes any question. It is amazing to witness someone that in tune w/ the public. Im hearing venues are being moved this week because so many people.

AND this is important to people saying Bernie is just a politician. This was discussed on the radio one time by the host "Thom Hartmann" he said BERNIE after a week in Washington he FLIES BACK to Vermont and books town halls to speak the message to the people. That hall can be filled w/ 30 people 100 people or 10, it doesn't matter BERNIE is there. HE DOES THIS EVERY WEEK.

Thats the indication right there why he deserves a spot at the whitehouse. That's what sold me when I heard that, I was like "let this man fly, I don't care about the detractors,critics or bashers"
