Hopefully he can get some traction. It might be our best hope. If he can get 6%, then 47% will be enough to win.

Since when has Bernie ever been "independent"?
Great,
Hillary has someone who’s there to make her NOT look like a extremist.
Thank you Glass Joe.
where’s all the “Weekend at Bernie’s” photoshopping..
Assuming Sen. Chief Spreading Bull D-MA does not toss her headdress into the ring, Sen. Bernie Sanders S-VT is extremely popular as well among the radical OWS types. Also assuming the Clinton scandals and corruption reports continue to mount, Sanders could actually make some headway in the Dem primaries.
Well, at least he’ll let you know he is actually a socialist. How’s that suspicious deal with his wife and the university in Burlington (not the clothing store either) coming along anyway? Not sure if she’s been cleared of anything illegal or not.
Not an official democrat (don’t know why he won’t join, ego? He’s not even the most left-wing member of Congress) but running for their nomination, unusual.
Bernie, you can’t win the nomination. You have to take it to November, I urge you to run as an independent! The American people need your help, Bernie! LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
This could get interesting.
This guy is a full blown socialist. With him in the race, we may actually have some sharp clear discussions of how Democrats want to push more and more socialism on us, if we elect a Democrat president in 2016 .
Of course, him being there could actually make Hillary look more moderate by comparison.
If he runs the same type of campaign as Obama and Deval Patric, he could win.
Say little and let the voters fill in the blanks, hope and change, si se pueda, yes we can, transform America.
I thought he's not a Democrat. Not officially. Well, he's even worse than a Democrat, but he claims to be an "Independent".
How can someone who isn't a Democrat run for the Democrat nomination? (If so, is he paving the way for Chris Christie to run as a Democrat?)
He’s only six years older than Hillary and can drop this independent crap now.
I await the announcements from Moonbeam and the Corvair Killer (is he even still alive?).
Didn’t he take his wife to Moscow for their honeymoon? I wonder if he ever paid Alexander Solzhenitsyn a visit while the celebrated author lived in Vermont? Probably not, as the senator most likely would have received a real education concerning the form of government he probably still greatly admires.
Go Bernie!
When can I get a bumper sticker?
Money quote, "Sanders will bring fresh, innovative ideas to the table, like: Corporations are bad and have too much influence on our giant, ineffective, unaccountable government, so let’s make government bigger to fix the problem and also take a lot more money from the rich."
Here is hoping that after he loses to Hillary in the primaries, he continues to run as an independent, sucking off the die-hard socialist vote (white Democrats), effectively taking 10% of the general election vote from Hillary, and also creating mega fratricide among the Leftist base.
Younger than dirt. Younger than The Universe. Maybe the idea is to make Hillary look youthful in comparison.
The one man honest enough to admit he’s a Socialist.
Bernie running for the nomination will keep the Democrat voters out of the Republican primaries.
