They would demand single-payer and accept nothing less than a public option. Bernie Sanders also hates free trade. For him it would be fair trade or no trade and the minimum wage would be raised substantially. With Democrats controlling both Houses and Bernie Sanders/Alan Grayson, the US economy would be better than it has been in years.

He's from the all important I-4 corridor in Florida, he is an attack dog extraordinaire. The Republicans would be hating life with him hitting them several times daily from all angles.

As long as he keeps it in the ballpark. There are certain things he says that I agree with but don't play well in the mainstream and he found that out the hard way a few years back when he lost his seat. Doesn't mean he is wrong, but some folks just aren't at the point where they can take in certain truths.

That the sitting Vice President might run for President? That he might choose a Senator from Ohio as a running mate? That neither of them is named Hilary?

But what do I know? I thought that sitting in the WH in a sweater, turning the heat down, and not campaigning was a bad idea in 1980, everyone disagreed with me, and President Carter easily won a second term.

What...you mean...you're kidding...really?
