and I'd get to see a President Sanders! And I'll support him as long as I can.

Sorry for being realistic. But the corporate world would NEVER allow that to happen. If Bernie ever did win the primary, billions upon billions of Superpac money would pour into smearing the "anti-American socialist". So much easier than the popular wife of one of the most popular Presidents. The corporate press would hound him day and night at the behest of their owners. He wouldn't stand a chance (IMO)

But I still applaud Bernie for running because it will force Hillary to at the very least address her stances on foreign policy, Wall Street oversight etc.. On social issues obviously her and Bernie are in agreement. She has been able to simply ignore Warren's concerns up until now. Now there is someone with similar concerns she will be forced to publicly debate and either defend her RW positions or change them.
