    I told the NY Times that “my principles don’t change with the job I’m in” and I think that’s proven to be true over the last 20 yrs. It hasn’t been a perfect career — but I’ve tried hard to live my values. Thanks to everyone for the support. Onward.

    As the establishment now freaks out and intensifies its effort to vilify everyone supporting Bernie Sanders, let me make it easier for their oppo researchers by voluntarily offering up this oppo on me for them to use to demonize me 👇
    to the real class-clown, !

    New York Times reporter would like you to believe that every story other than Bernie actually winning the New Hampshire primary is the most important story of the New Hampshire primary

    . in his NH victory speech makes a veiled reference to Bloomberg, Buttigieg (and possibly Steyer): "In this point in the campaign we are taking on billionaires and we are taking on campaigns funded by billionaires," he says about the path forward.

    Update: we won an incredible against-the-odds victory, despite all the elites trying to stop us, despite all the corporate power trying to destroy us, and despite all the naysayers on this website trying as hard as they can to demoralize us. Onward.
    I'm not sure if we are going to win, but let's be very clear: if we win - it truly would be an amazing, unprecedented, against-the-odds victory while being demonized 24-7 by cable TV, and while being outspent by billionaire-backed candidates and super PACs. Fingers crossed.

    A reminder: if Bernie Sanders pulls off even the slimmest win, it is still an incredible against-the-odds feat because New Hampshire Republicans went out of their way to try to suppress the youth vote -- which is a key part of Bernie's coalition.

    In New Hampshire, Bernie Sanders was outspent 7-to-1 on television by his opponents in aggregate
    We've seen a lot of money this cycle, but money doesn't always = support. Here's a look at total candidate (and associated PAC) spending in New Hampshire vs. NH polling averages. …

    I mean, really think about it: you have a candidate being entirely funded by an average of $18 donations, sustaining 24-7 attacks by cable TV news, facing millions of dollars of negative attacks - and he is still in contention to win. Really understand how unprecedented that is.
    I want you to step back, take a deep breath & realize how unprecedented it is for a candidate 100% funded by the grassroots with zero billionaire donors even being in contention to win against the entire corporate establishment & billionaire class thats trying to buy the election

    It's sort of impossible to accurately describe the way cable news is covering this campaign without sounding like the most hopeless Sanders diehard
