"Bernie Sanders talks about...the possibility of a presidential run...." [View all]


Social Democracy in the South

Bernie Sanders talks about economic justice—and the possibility of a presidential run—on a three-day road trip.

http://inthesetimes.com/article/15784/social_democracy_in_the_south/

One couldn’t help but notice the vaguely presidential tinge of the whole affair—the wide-reaching stump speeches delivered in unfamiliar territory coupled with the fact that Sanders was greeted with a rock star reception that few other senators are capable of generating—let alone in the immediate aftermath of a government shutdown that left an already deeply unpopular Congress with its lowest approval ratings in the history of polling.

I asked the Senator if he was contemplating a presidential run in 2016. Some left-wing Democrats urged him to challenge Obama in the primary last election, and there’s once again talk of him mounting a campaign—like last time, all of it speculative. He says he doesn’t want to.

“I suppose if you’re running for president, probably going to Mississippi and Alabama is not the place most candidates would go. You go to Iowa and New Hampshire or something like that,” Sanders says with a laugh. “But what I do think is there needs to be a progressive voice in the presidential process. I hope very much there will be a voice coming up to do that.”

But when pressed to say if he’s completely decided against running, he acknowledges he hasn’t. “I haven’t ruled it out.”


Wow. If Bernie ran...DU would go crazy ! I was amazed to read this.

[Zathras]

Bernie = snowball....Winning the Presidency of the US = Hell

[Skul]

The DUmp would sound like a dark alley with dozens of randy tom-cats.
I just have to read that now.

155. Pretty please with a cherry on top?

God, I can't imagine how exciting it would be to vote for an actual progressive and not someone who wants to be seen as bi-partisan and far too often cares more about that than principals.

3. I would love to see a President Sanders

Unfortunately his age may prevent this from happening, he is currently 72 and will be 75 by the time the election takes place. He would be a great candidate in so many ways, I would love to see him run but I would have concerns for his health.

19. If Bernie ran for president

I would quit my job, and go broke campaigning for him!

You wouldn't see me around here during that time either, as I would spend each and every waking hour working to see that WE THE PEOPLE finally get a president!

35. Shut up and take my money!

I would devote my very life to getting every vote for him humanly possible. He is a true Liberal's liberal.

Did somebody already say that?

Something good would come of a Sanders campaign, I'm sure of it.

I saw this earlier and so many saying it would be a landslide victory.

Okay all you molers

Start pushing Sanders 2016 for the primaries.

Make him a contender. Make him get so close he has an incentive to savage Hillary and the rest and they in turn have to disavow everything he stands for.

Put the commies and the triangulators in the same room with a box full of broken bottles and dirty razor blades and let them savage each other.




SANDERS 2016: We're not really going back to white people in charge...he's actually kinda translucent...like a cave fish.



SANDERS 2016: The Tea Party is wrong. The government can't steal from you if you're already broke, now can it?



SANDERS 2016: Somebody that old and wrinkly has to know something.



SANDERS 2016: Sure he looks like a basset hound but everybody likes basset hounds.

It would be, neighbor--just not the way they think.

[Ptarmigan]

They are really for Bernie Sanders, but not Ralph Nader???????????? 

[franksolich]

Isn't Bernie a little old for this nonsense?

I'm sure he's about ready for the complete-care nursing home.

[GOBUCKS]

Start pushing Sanders 2016 for the primaries.

If they run Sanders, and the repukes run Cruz, Ross Perot's day may have finally arrived.

[Dori]

Commie Sanders taking on Commie Clinton.  What a match-up.

[miskie]

The only reason they are pushing for Sanders is they figure that a genuine commie would make the road to socialism that much shorter.

I don't get it either - but the DUmmies think Obama is a centrist and isn't left enough..

I dunno if hearing people notice this, because they're too busy hearing what he's saying.

I've always noticed something else about when Bernie speaks, probably because I can't hear what he's saying.

Old Bernie spits a lot, liquid saliva flying all directions, its velocity dependent upon his level of righteous indignation about this thing or another thing.

I kid you not; if you have a chance to see a close-up on television of him, watch closely.

I once had a dream where I was called to testify to a Senate committee where Bernie was a member, and I insisted that if he couldn't be placed at least twenty feet away from me, I wanted a sheet of 3/4" plexiglass in between him and me, so I wouldn't get involuntarily showered.

Sorry but in today's America I would say he has a very good chance at winning.  Sad but true.

OH, Old Bernie and Bonnie Fwank have spitting in common......is Bernie also queer?

I dunno, but while Old Bernie alleges himself to be a "share the wealth" socialist, he sure isn't sharing his own stash with those who have less.  Sharing's for other people, not Old Bernie, to do.

Oh my.....he's a real liberal then.....not a fake one like some.....but for the life of me right now I can't think of a single liberal that shares their wealth.....voluntarily..
