    Electability: - Bernie turned a GOP U.S. House seat & a GOP U.S. Senate seat blue, and won 22 presidential primaries/caucuses. - Buttigieg didn't break 38% in his only statewide race. - Biden had to end two presidential races before ever getting to New Hampshire's primary.

    Bernie's been trying to make the debate once in a while mention the climate crisis that threatens all life on the planet, but so far, no dice. Keep trying, king.

    I'm thankful to have been a tiny part of this movement, starting in ' office 20 yrs ago. As a young person, I had a dream job: helping a leader fight for working people & get things done against all the odds. Thats exactly what we're gonna do when we win in 2020.

    My father, a lifelong Republican who worked @ IBM for 32 years, was in that room. Today when we chatted, he told me he is "eternally grateful that Bernie took up the spear and helped save his and so many other hard working employees' pension." He has voted for Bernie ever since.

    It's difficult to get anything done in Congress when you are in the minority. And yet, during his time in the U.S. House, passed more amendments than any legislator in the Congress -- because he knows how to actually get stuff done.

    Joe Biden's health care plan leaves 10 million people uninsured:
