Bernie Sanders: Let’s primary Obama

snip//

"President Obama is under attack these days from all manner of nasty conservatives who don’t care for his liberal, big spending ways. They seem to have found an unlikely ally, though, in the person of the only officially declared socialist in Congress… Bernie Sanders."

snip//

"So I would say to Ryan [sic] discouragement is not an option. I think it would be a good idea if President Obama faced some primary opposition."

Sanders really had his finger on the pulse of the Nation.. so endearing to the Black Community and people like me.

And, now he's running against President Obama's legacy.. good luck with that Bernie..

Obama, Dean, McCarthy: What Presidential Candidate Does Bernie Sanders Most Resemble?

snip//

".. First, Sanders is running as much against Obama’s legacy as against anything pertaining specifically to Hillary Clinton. Second, all the revisionist history in the world won’t erase the fact that Obama, despite his strong appeal to liberal activists angry at HRC’s vote for the Iraq War, had a trans-ideological and even bipartisan appeal that Sanders is too consistently credentialed to rival."
