for a photo!

Great photo and great story. Thanks for bringing our attention to it.

And why doesn't he have secret service people? I really thought presidential candidates had at least a couple. It's wonderful he takes time for the people but this is a little disconcerting to me

Thanks.

I am going to meet him! If it kills me. Met a bunch representatives, Senators, 2 governors, Mondale and Obama. Now I have to meet President Bernie Sanders. Would be the best one!

Definitely would be my highlight.

I flipped off dubya and he saw me. Does that count?

an elevator ride - with his bodyguards. I was so awed I forgot how to speak.

Don't have a clue what I said. Not a word

The contrast between Bernie and HRC couldn't be starker. Here's a reminder of the conditions HRC puts into her contracts for her lucrative speeches. This one refers to the $225,000 speech contract with the UNLV (University of Nevada, Las Vegas) Foundation

Bernie is definitely more fun. More in touch. And certainly more real.

Here in my neck of the woods - Pittsburgh/Allegheny County, we just had a really one-sided primary battle for the office of County Auditor. Pgh/Alleg. Cty. have been dominated by an old-boy Democratic party apparatus for many decades. In 2012, the voters elected an ethical, very intelligent and competent woman, Chelsa Wagner to be the Auditor. She saw herself as serving the citizens, not the old boy machine, and had the temerity to catch the good-ole-boy county executive (highest elective office in the county) with his ethical/legal pants down re using county property for personal use. He had to cough up $45,000 to settle that "oversight". Well, hell hath no fury like an old machine poll publicly humiliated, so he ordered his various administrative units to refuse to provide her the information required for her audits. Those battles are being fought out in the courts.

Comes the primary for the next 4 year term, and he brought in and supported a former enemy of his, but also a white male old-boy machine hack. The County Party also endorsed the hack. So here's what I mean by one-sided. They outspent Ms. Wagner at least 4 to 1; smeared her with outrageous, unsubstantiated claims and lies for months - but guess what! The voters elected her in the primary (no GOP even on the ballot next fall - so she's basically re-elected). The voters understood that when you have one party rule, you need an auditor who is a watch dog, not a lap dog. Not only did the county exec's lap dog lose, but so did nearly all of the others dems endorsed by said county exec but opposed by other dems in the primary. AND, while the county exec was unopposed on the primary ballot, he received 20,000 less votes than did other unopposed dems on the ballot. In other words, the voters said screw the old machine and all the money they threw into advertising; we'll decide for ourselves.

My point? HRC can throw her corporate billions into massive advertising and making deals with the establishment Democratic leaders, but she cannot shut up social media.

I predict the good Democrats of southwestern PA will choose Bernie over HRC, no matter how much the local Democratic party committee may be paid off to endorse her.

I am sure that you are correct.

Thanks for the hopeful information!

this needs it's own OP. What a great true story!

Very cool picture...one of those that I would want to hang onto forever.
