With (Bernie) Sanders Iowa visit coinciding with Hillary Clintons much-anticipated return to the state, some Democrats have wondered if the senators presidential ambitions are merely an elaborate display of effigy-burningan 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. Thats why I would run, he told msnbc Thursday. Hes not interested in being a protest candidate, he insists.
Sanders realizes its 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.

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

Triangulation; present a far left view in the primaries that makes Hillary look centrist and moderate.
The Clintons are masters at it.
To: Olog-hai
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!!!!!

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.

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

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.
