I think you’ve nailed the reason he’s Bernie Sanders is now in the race. He could have run scores of times. He was the most far radical Left person in Congress until Barack Hussein Obama came of the scene. The political heirs of Bill Ayers, Frank Marshall Davis, Jeremiah Wright, Yassir Arafat, Communists, Socialists, Marxists, Anarchists, race-mongers, “global warming, fossil fuel, homosexual agenda agents,” higher taxes proponents would be thrilled with Bernie Sanders, should Hillary self-destruct sooner rather than later or be forced to step aside before the primary by the national Democratic leadership.
