Bernie Sanders on 2016: We need ‘a political revolution’

… With (Bernie) Sanders’ Iowa visit coinciding with Hillary Clinton’s much-anticipated return to the state, some Democrats have wondered if the senator’s presidential ambitions are merely an elaborate display of effigy-burning—an attempt to move Clinton and the center of gravity of the entire party to the left.

Not so, the senator says. “If I run, I would like to win. That’s why I would run,” he told msnbc Thursday. He’s not interested in being a protest candidate, he insists.

Sanders realizes it’s a long shot. “For me to win, it would require a grassroots effort on the part of literally millions of people. Unprecedented,” he says. “What we need now is a political revolution.” …

We’re working on it.

[cripplecreek]

Because Obama just isn’t far enough left.

[Rome2000]

Bernie is gonna cry when the CPUSA is taken down.

Hope he lives to see it.

[tet68]

Hey Bernie, I got your “revolution” right here but
I don’t think you’ll like how it turns out.

[NoLibZone]

I agree, the ONLY solution is revolution.

[VeniVidiVici]

That communist Sanders can kiss my bonnie white ass.

[GraceG]

Didn’t we have a rather bad one in 2008 already???

[GraceG]

[ That communist Sanders can kiss my bonnie white ass. ]

At least Sanders is honest about WHO he is...unlike POTUS...

[CMailBag]

We need an ‘electoral’ revolution.

[tanknetter]

Triangulation; present a far left view in the primaries that makes Hillary look centrist and moderate.

The Clintons are masters at it.

[taildragger]

Humor him, Fund him. We need him like we needed Ralph Nader in 04’, let’s hope he goes Indy or Green Party. Run Bernie Run!!!!!

[MtnClimber]

We need a revolution where the irresponsible politicians that violated our rights and spent us into bankruptsy cet charged and have to pay back their debts to society.

[Drango]

Bring it Bernie. Bring it.

[griswold3]

A President has little to do with economic growth other than set the tone for the economy.
Ask Hillary if she would repeat the ‘era of Big Government is over’! That’s what set the tone during Bill’s term.
He is also responsible for the ‘Enronization’ of the nation’s business sector, though.

[GeronL]

“The Era of Big Government is Over” was a pure lie, and she would definitely tell lies.

[ought-six]

It’s a scam. He’ll run to try to make Hildabeast appear “moderate.” It’s called “triangulation,” and the Clintons play that like a violin.
