Well, we shall see.

Bernie's co chair, Nina Turner, got into a big disagreement with Jason Johnson over his politics and she is black.

What is going on that is clouding reality, is the intense war between the establishment dems and the progressive dems. The progressive dems are almost all for Bernie and Warren. and the establishment dems see Bernie as a threat to their power.

If he wins he will be the head of the Dem party and will probably replace most of them.

The establishment like Jim Messina, Rahm, Steve Ratner, and Hillary folks, and a whole bunch of other's have been telling everyone Bernie can't win, etc.

But on the other hand, academia, teachers, college students and intellectuals like Noam Chomsky, Michael Moorre, and women under 50 are mostly for Bernie.

It would be ironic indeed, if our country's intellectuals were the dumb one's.

And CNN and MSNBC and NY times have been supporting everyone but Bernie.

We will know a lot after March 3rd. 538 expects Bernie to sweep super Tuesday except for south Carolina I think, which is before then, and Alabama as I remember.

I expect Bernie to win both New Hampshire and Nevada.

"Well, I will bet you a cyber beer that Jason Johnson knows more about the political sentiments, energies, et al, of the African American community than any one of us, including the two of us"

You might be onto something
