Even Republican candidates have taken notice of Sanders’ rise.

He has a decades long solid liberal record. Hard to attack that. His message resonates across party lines. He's articulate, he talks issues instead of sniping at his competition and he has a sense of humor. He's not pretty but he's truthful. I think a lot of American's are sick of nice looking candidates that talk the talk, but don't walk the walk.

Can he win? I don't know but the fact that dem leadership & repubs both, are attacking him, makes me believe that TPTB have taken note of Bernie & the Bernie wave.
