Okay but can I just say

Bernie Sanders is being REALLY smart about his campaigning.

If you look at who’s funding his campaign, versus who’s funding Hillary Clinton’s, he gets most of the actual workers (labor unions, education unions, etc), while she’s mostly supported by big money (banks, huge companies, etc). Bernie doesn’t have the cash to out advertise or buy votes or really compete with her economically, he has to be backed by the average person if he wants to get somewhere. 

And the people that agree with him the most are millenials, and the millenials are the ones who don’t vote as much, so what does he do? He promotes and starts bills to cut the cost of college and university, and lower the interest of student loans. 

He’s raising the minimum wage, and funding education. He’s getting the interest and the favor of those who would have otherwise not voted. If he gets our votes, he gets a HUGE leg up in the election. 

He really does believe in the things he’s doing, and would probably have tried to do them anyways, but he’s definitely timing these things VERY thoughtfully.
