I meant everything I said.

and I wrote it with trepidation. This is truly how I feel.

I am going to work this week and knock on doors and make phone calls to help get my choice for delegate to the Virginia house elected.

This is the kind of infrastructure I am talking about. I do not know the kind of campaigns that Bernie Sanders has run, but I feel very strongly that it was not based upon the democratic platform. HE was elected as an independent. He does causes with the Dems, and I appreciate that — but, he has always run as an independent. That is a fact.
