Bernie Sanders

Bernie Sanders is quite the anomaly in Congress. He is an Independent and a self-avowed socialist. 

That word "socialist" has been so effectively demonized by demagogues that it would be hard for him to run for national office, but I do hope that he and Elizabeth Warren toss their hats into the ring for the Democratic nomination for President in 2016. 

They would both pull the conversation much closer to where it needs to be. I don't have much confidence in Hillary.

Here are a few quotes from Bernie.
