Bernie Sanders is NOT Rocky!

I understand Bernie Sanders is out of the running... But...

I refuse to believe I am the only one who thought about this.  We were in PHILADELPHIA for crying out loud. For over a year, stadiums were filled with the chants BERNIE, BERNIE, BERNIE...  Hey, maybe I'm older than most Bernie supporters, but it sure reminded me of those old movies... ROCKY, ROCKY, ROCKY... 

And damn it... in EVERY one, Rocky was down... no chance... no hope... And then... Somebody always snapped him out of it... and we ALL heard that bell... and the fanfare... and we knew ROCKY was back in the game.  And there was no doubt in anybody's mind that Rocky was going to kick some ass... Russian ass if necessary.

Sure, Bernie was down... the fight was rigged... they wanted him to take a dive... and still... we never gave up... BERNIE, BERNIE, BERNIE... 

Any minute now, we were SURE Jane was going to whisper into Bernie's ear and tell him it was OK for him to WIN!  

And then the DNC happened... Day after day... we waited for Jane... we waited, and waited... we wanted to hear that damned bell and the fanfare that would let us know we were still in this to WIN. 

The bell never came... white noise machines made sure nobody heard any fanfare.  Still we rallied... BERNIE, BERNIE, BERNIE.  

"They cheer for HIM" somebody at the DNC was overheard snarling...
