Independent Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders is warning Americans that two ultra-conservative billionaire brothers will soon hold more political power than both the Democratic and Republican Parties.
While speaking to a group of supporters in Iowa last week, Sanders explained why he was considering a run for the president of the United States in 2016.
"It is likely in a very short period of time that the Koch brothers themselves will have a stronger political presence than either the Democratic or the Republican Party," the lawmaker noted. "I am prepared to take on the billionaire class."
Sanders said that a lot of his supporters have pleaded with him to "stay out of the damn Democratic Party" if he decides to run for president.
"I don't want to tilt at windmills," he told ABC News in an interview that aired on Sunday. "But I just think that out there, there are so many people who are hurting, so many people who are disillusioned, so many people are really viscerally upset that they're working longer hours for low wages and the billionaires are getting richer, and they need a voice."
Woo hoo!! Go, Tea Party!!
if this fruit loop runs as a third party candidate, 2016 becomes much less of a problem
I guess Bernie didn't get his check from Georgie this month or is that week?
Somebody pass Bernie the bong. He's having delusions of adequacy again.
This guy says this even though he is a senator from a state that has hardly any population, yet has the same number of senators as California or Texas.
Impossible, the demorat party is a criminal enterprise w unlimited assets. PUBLIC treasury if needed
Hope it becomes true.
The Koch bros should then purchase a used F-15 and find Soros.
I’ll pilot it and promise to do multiple passes until Soros turns into melted Obamalallow.
Methinks Bernie has a latent crush on the Koch brothers.
LOL!
What a great idea!
I'll be his chairman for Texas!
Bernie, have a Koch and a smile, and STFU.
One can only hope
Do the Koch Bros have even 1% of Soros’ net worth?
Hey Bernie! Ya old bastard! Warren Buffet could buy anything the Koch bros have with his credit card! And Warren is a good Democrat. But of course he cares about the poor...
Bernie used to think that people didn’t need to earn more than $50,000 per year...
I love it that these libs keep going after the Koch brothers. Nobody has ever heard of them except for some hardcore leftists. But like the elitists they are they believe everyone has to have heard about them. They end up sounding like loons.
and in twenty years, dead as well.. hopefully the parties will meet the same fate as they are constituted today.
The millenials love Bernie and they love Liz Warren. Look for the Dems to dump Hill and go with one of the above. Probably Liz.
