Vermont's Bernie Sanders readies 2016 run, blasts 'Clinton type of politics'



BY PAUL BEDARD | MARCH 6, 2014 AT 4:08 PM

Progressive Sen. Bernie Sanders is readying a potential 2016 presidential primary challenge to Hillary Clinton, claiming that the “same old same old ... Clinton type of politics” won't solve the problems of the nation.

“I am prepared to run for president of the United States. I don't believe that I am the only person out there who can fight this fight, but I am certainly prepared to look seriously at that race,” he told The Nation's John Nichols.

Sanders, a Vermont independent who caucuses with the Democrats, has toyed with a presidential bid before, but this is the furthest he’s gone in announcing his bid. While he hasn’t begun fundraising, Sanders said he is discussing a run with key advisors.

“If the question is, am I actively right now organizing and raising money and so forth for a campaign for president, I am not doing that. On the other hand, am I talking to people around the country? Yes, I am,” said Sanders. “Will I be doing some traveling around the country? Yes, I will be. But I think it’s premature to be talking about [the specifics of] a campaign when we still have a 2014 congressional race in front of us.”

Progressives have been eager for somebody to challenge Clinton, seen as unwilling to call for big liberal programs.

If he runs as an Independent, he may not live past the primaries.

Exx-cellent! The avowed Socialist versus the closeted Socialist in a one-on-one death match for control of the bureaucratic organs created/expanded by Dear Leader.

Let the games begin... :fuelfire:

I noticed that any reference to socialist has been scrubbed so far in his campaign. He might as well run as a muzzie.

As a Vermonter I'm ashamed of this guy, but here's hoping he plays a real Ross Perot factor in 2016

There are actually a few at the DUmp who are on to Bernie's Socialist shtick.  He is a big Vermont Defense contractor supporter and any other corporate donor supporter (moo).  By letting folk think he is a Socialist / Indy he gets a free pass.  He is phony as a three dollar bill with a great no load job that pays well.  His posturing to run is just that.  The land of Larry, Daryl, and, Daryl may wake up to that fact too some day (actually it is the NewJerkers and college kids who elect him, not the Natives who are now out numbered).
