Here's a Speech I'd Like Bernie Sanders to Give

I respect Hillary Clinton. If you, the voters decide that she is the Democratic nominee for president, I will give her my full support. She is a respectable and capable woman. But I want your support. I want your vote. I want to win because of what it will mean about you, the American people. I am running for president to offer you, the voters, a choice. If you are ready for a political revolution to usher in an era of substantial change, then I am your president. If you are ready to work tirelessly for that change, then I am your president. If you are ready to bring fairness to our financial system, I am your president. If you are ready to work for peace in the world, I am your president. If you are ready to provide opportunities for education for all, I am your president. If you're ready to provide affordable healthcare for all, I am your president. If you are ready to implement policies that promote an economy that creates and sustains a vibrant middle class, I am your president. If you are ready to demand campaign finance reform that removes the undue influence of wealth from elections, I am your president. If you elect me president, it will mean you are ready to work for real change. It will mean you understand that electing me president, is the first, and the easiest step. With me in the White House, you will have a powerful ally in your work for change. If you elect me president, it means you are ready for a political revolution. It means that you understand that real change will come from you, the people. I will be your president, working alongside you as you implement the change that you, the people, demand in your political revolution. It means you understand that a political revolution means you will have to revolt. You will have to attend long meetings, march for the cause, donate your money, house the revolutionaries, weather the backlash from those who don't change. You will have to sustain the revolution for years, giving your time, your money, your presence to the cause. Because if you think that you can elect me, Bernie Sanders, president, then you get to go back to your ordinary life and change will happen without you, you are horribly mistaken. A political revolution requires the unwavering dedication of revolutionaries, and that would be you people. Are you really ready for a political revolution? Are you ready to put your life on the line for the cause? Really? Yes? Then Bernie Sanders is your president.
