64. Those are called goals -- all candidates give them

Amazing how when he acts in accordance with normal political principles 101, he's accused of being weird. Sanders - and those of us who support him -- are fully aware of how it works.

As for his "happy talk" no, he is stating goals that would make this a hell of a lot better and healthier country. People like Clinton make vague claims that are similar -- except she avoids mentioning the real underlying causes or the necessity for significant reforms to solve them.

Personally I think we should break up banks -- which have been allowed to grow to destructive scale -- or we should at least bring them down to more reasonable size, through anti trust and other regulation -- which can be done as history has proven.

Take down Wall St. -- Not "take it down" but regulate and control it again. (See first point.)

Get rid of money in campaigns. Seems to me he and Hillary and O'Malley say the same thing about that as a goal. Bernie has at least taken steps by promoting a large amount of grass roots donations, as a step in that direction for his main find raising strategy. He has also introduced legislation for public financing that Clinton could, if she chose, express support for.
