I'd love to see his visions come to fruition, but I have my doubts about the big money interests ever letting his message see the light of day in the mass media especially the dumbfuck pundit driven horseshit garbage we're spoon feed daily. :think:

He looks about 90.   Will he live to see the next election?

Bernie is erternal, but just has white hair. I'd have white hair too if I had to deal with congress every day.

Bernie is 73. I'd vote for him, but he has been labeled a Socialist, among other things. I kind of doubt he'd get the nomination.

This is often a way of saying "I'd be Veep if asked."

Read the article. Bernie self identifies as a democratic socialist, but I wonder if he can transcend the stigma. People like Rand Paul are trying to steal the independent dems with his phony populism.
