Huge week for Bernie Sanders gets little coverage (VIDEO)

December 17, 2015 By Egberto Willies

Sorry, there was a YouTube error.

Anyone thinking Bernie Sanders’ quest is over better wake up

Many times reality is very different than what the mainstream media portrays. The new narrative is that the Sanders’ campaign is showing signs of burnout. Experienced politicos know a campaign cannot be in adoration mode ad infinitum. The unceremonious work of building a ground team and electoral dynamics is far different that incessant speeches in front of adoring crowds.

Bernie Sanders seem to be in that mode now. This week for Bernie Sanders is huge and will likely go unnoticed. Sanders has crossed a huge milestone. He now has over 2 million campaign contributions. USUncut reports the following:

At 8:11 Wednesday night, Bernie Sanders’ campaign announced it had reached its goal of 2 million total campaign contributions. The campaign also expects to surpass President Obama’s record 2.2 million donations, which he achieved during his 2012 re-election effort. Sanders has already attracted more individual donors than Obama did during his historic 2008 campaign, with an average donation amount of less than $30.

While Sanders hasn’t beaten Hillary Clinton’s campaign in the amount of dollars donated ($41.5 million to Clinton’s $77.5 million as of the September quarterly report), Sanders has more individual donors than Clinton, as well as any of the Republican candidates.

If that was not enough for the week, Sanders will get the endorsement of the Communications Workers of America labor union. The union is 700,000+ members strong. NBC reports the following:

Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders is set to pick up one of his biggest endorsements yet Thursday from the powerful Communications Workers of America union, sources told NBC News’ Andrea Mitchell.

The group represents about 700,000 workers nationally, making it by far the largest union to back Sanders yet. CWA’s endorsement, which will be announced at a news conference at 11 a.m. Thursday at the union’s headquarters in Washington, comes as Sanders has lost out on a string of major union endorsements to Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton, whose campaign now claims the support of unions representing 12 million workers. …

CWA boasts it has more than 300,000 active and retired members in the states that hold primaries and caucuses between now and April 1, who could be mobilized to support Sanders.

And shortly there after, Bernie Sanders received the endorsement of Democracy for America.

DEC. 17, 2015: With 271,527 votes cast — and all three presidential candidates campaigning directly for your vote — the results are in and they are extraordinary. Bernie Sanders has earned Democracy for America’s endorsement in the 2016 Democratic Party presidential primary with an astonishing, record-breaking 87.9% of the vote.

For those following politics closely this early, their minds are with Hillary but their hearts are with Bernie. If Bernie gets the revolution, the peaceful uprising of the masses in 2016 he has been trying to will, 2016 could be a very interesting year as Americans tire of the current modus operandi.
