I am watching Bernie Sanders on CNN

[JDPriestly]

45. What if he was in the White House?

Imagine what a person with Sanders' values could do there?

Who doesn't want Sanders in the White House? The 1%. That's who.

Sanders, regardless of his labels, is a man of integrity. He is balanced in his views. Listen to him, and you recognize that.

Sanders does not mess with dirt-throwing and name-calling. He has good ideas. He is a solid man. The world would trust him. So would Americans. I believe he would listen to the American people.

And Sanders would not, as Bill Clinton did, reappoint Greenspan to the Fed. That was a colossal mistake. Repealing Glass-Steagall was also a colossal mistake. Millions and millions of ordinary Americans paid for those mistakes. And then, at the end of the Clinton presidency, we discovered that Clinton, instead of being a bridge to the 21st century as promised, was a bridge backward to the 19th century and a George W. Bush neanderthal-era presidency. Really!

Had Clinton put excellency, courage and focus on helping the American people first during his presidency, we would have had a strong Democratic president in 2000-2001. I know it was the fault of chicanery in Florida, but the margin would have been so great in Florida that we would have had a Democrat.

We need a Democratic candidate with the kind of moral courage that stands up to any scrutiny and the focus on helping the American people that inspires trust. We don't need any more corporate figureheads.,

Elizabeth Warren or Bernie Sanders will be the best candidates. At least so far they are the best to have appeared on the political scene.
