[Playinghardball]

hursday on “The Alan Colmes Show,” Alan spoke with Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) about the possibility of him running for President in 2016. They also discussed where Sen. Sanders stands on the airstrikes against ISIS, and Alan also got a response from the Senator regarding the folk album he recorded in the 1980s which recently went viral.

COLMES: National Journal says, Rebecca Nelson writes “Senator Bernie Sanders is almost certainly running for President in 2016.” How close is that to being accurate?

SEN. SANDERS: Well, she knows more than I do. All I can tell you is I’m giving serious thought to it. I’m going around the country talking to a whole lot of people. The issue for me is I’m going to run on a platform, if I do run, which is going to take on the billionaire class which is going to ask a whole lot of people at the grassroots level to get involved in a way they’ve never had before, to fight for the survival of the middle class, and that’s a tough task, so I’m not sure it’s there yet.

COLMES: What has to happen between now and whenever that moment comes for you to pull that trigger?

SEN. SANDERS: Well, I have to see what kind of support there is there, and for me, when you take on the Koch Brothers and the billionaire class, these guys will spend all kinds of money against you. And the only way that somebody like me can win is to put together a political revolution. Strong grassroots support all over the country for people who are saying enough is enough. The greed of the top 1% is now destroying this America, this country.

COLMES: Where do you stand on what we should be doing about these foreign threats and how much of a threat are they?

SEN. SANDERS: Look, ISIS is a threat. This a cruel and brutal and dangerous organization. Do I think that they may well be plotting against the United States and Europe, yeah I do. The question is, how do you effectively address them? I voted no on the issue of supporting the Syrian so-called moderates. Because I think at the end of the day, what I worry about is the United States getting dragged into another quagmire, another never ending war.
