This is going to be so awesome.

Trump was on the Jimmy Kimmel show and said he would agree to debate Bernie, if the proceeds went to charity.

Bernie Sanders response, via tweet, game on.

“Game on. I look forward to debating Donald Trump in California before the June 7 primary.”

I, for one, look forward to a Trump vs. Sanders debate.

And do you know what the average size of each individual donation was?

Me neither, but I have a sneaking suspicion that it rhymes with ‘Fun? We never bothered.”

Then again, the average may be trending a touch higher by now, possibly into the thirty dollar range. But we can’t let facts get in the way of a good campaign slogan can we? Is it now time to admit that the big money donors have finally crashed the Sanders’ party? Well, we’ll have to hold out until tomorrow to find out.

Politico:

As of 8 a.m. Thursday morning, the Sanders' campaign has raised a more than $39.7 million ahead of the midnight Federal Election Commission deadline, with average contributions coming in at $27 apiece. The campaign has in recent days sold "Birdie Sanders" stickers after a bird landed on the Vermont senator's lectern as he spoke in Portland, Oregon, last Friday. But the "birdie" is about to go bye-bye, Weaver warned in an email to supporters Wednesday evening.

The campaign, through Weaver, has ominously stated:

"We can't be clear enough: this is your last opportunity to get Birdie Sanders stickers," he wrote. "They'll disappear before tomorrow night's FEC fundraising deadline."

So be aware that you have until midnight to donate before this month’s FEC filing and pic up this nifty little bit of campaign memorabilia. You can donate at berniesanders.com. You know you want to.

Something pretty funny happened today at the Bernie Sanders rally today in Portland, Oregon.

YouTube Video

Clearly the bird is feeling the bern, and Bernie doesn’t miss the opportunity to speak on one of the many issues he has promoted throughout this campaign, and throughout his career, peace.

“I think there may be some symbolism here… I know it doesn’t look like it, but that bird is really a dove asking us for world peace! No more wars!”

I love seeing that Bernie is having the time of his life in this campaign.

I know this is a short diary, but thought you all would enjoy a little feel good moment for this Friday afternoon.

Slightly better quality:

Turns out Bernie said “This little bird doesn’t know it...” not “doesn’t vote”. Many apologies to the little bird for the misquote.

Edit 2: That this happened at a Portland rally is too perfect, considering the sketch the Portlandia show did.

Edit 3: This might have been a thing even before today, not sure of its origin.

Sorry diary so short, but hadn't seen this mentioned. I'm not even Canadian, but I find it fascinating that the Liberal party has taken the first 33 ridings, with 170 needed to govern (yes I learned that by watching the stream) with all remaining ridings yet to be declared.

First off, I support the election of Hillary Clinton. For Senate.

Like many people on this site, however, I'm not exactly ready to support her primary bid for the presidency should she choose to run.

This is not a definitive decision, just one I've arrived at given my own studies of politics, and it's a decision not likely to change unless she impresses me between now and 2008 with an approach that does not appear contrived to sew up the presidential primary, or ultimately, the election.

In other words, I need to see something genuine from this prospective nominee, a gesture or series of gestures that demonstrate the strength of her commitment to her constituents in NY, those potential constituents elsewhere in this nation, and ultimately to the ideals she claims to hold dear.
