•Bernie Sanders is entering the 2020 presidential race.
•Sanders has supported policies such as Medicare for all, breaking up big banks, a $15 per hour minimum wage and free public college, all of which have gained more traction in the Democratic Party in recent years.
•Out of all the 2020 candidates, Sanders would have perhaps the biggest effect on businesses and wealthy Americans.

At this point, unless Michelle Obama, Hillary or Oprah come out to run....I’d say Bernie can easily win the primary season.
So you come to a Bernie, Schultz, and Trump campaign in the fall. I think Bernie and Schultz should be able to cancel each other out, and lay down the same 2016 results.
Bernie is the unclaimed mildew smelling steamer trunk of politics.
22 Trillion in debt and growing
“and his policies would have a huge impact on business.”
Yep, there wouldn’t be any.
Bernie’s days and many of of those Dems running for POTUS as free people are rapidly running out.
Just sent this to a Berniebot in my inner circle (keep your friends close, etc.); it will be interesting to see the reaction.
What a surprise, that Bernie has thrown his hammer and sickle into the ring.
That was a great comment!
Our side should always be making this correction rather than thinking it's six of one, half dozen of the other:
•Sanders has supported policies such as Medicare for all, breaking up big banks, aThe left purposely uses the hourly figure because $15 sounds reasonable. We need to make them explain and keep explaining why a 16 year-old needs to make 30 grand to flip burgers or sweep up empty popcorn containers after a movie.$15 per hour$30,000 a year minimum wage and free public college, all of which have gained more traction in the Democratic Party in recent years.
Bernie wants $15 minimum wage, yet paid his campaign workers $12 an hour. Commie bastard.
Bernie so fits socialism.
He’s never had a real job in his life, failing in everything he tried until he found the one profession that didn’t require talent, creative ability, or intelligence.
Politics as a liberal democrat.
And in his mind, any non-government person making MORE than $15/hr is "wealthy". We'll all be equally poor. Good thing Mao fatigues are inexpensive so we'll still have clothes. And cats are plentiful, so we'll have food for a while.
Businesses need to know Bernie’s not f—king around. They need to close down NATIONWIDE for a day immediately after he’s nominated.
Bernie Sanders is an idiot. And those that support and follow him are idiots.
HEY! That’s the same platform as An Oblivious-Communist!
Can I ask about free public college?
Our community colleges and state colleges and universities, are run by states and localities across the country. They are not run by the federal government. How can the federal government say anything about this subject, considering that they have no jurisdiction over these institutions of higher education in the first place? How can the federal government say, college is now free, when they don’t run these places in the first place??
Would all states gladly yield authority over their universities to the federal government?
All in all, I wonder if anyone has really thought this idea through?
