Incensed that Republicans want to abolish Obamacare and that the “billionaire class wants more and more for themselves and less for working families,”  socialist U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vermont barnstormed the Bay Area with a spate of speeches and interviews signaling a possible 2016 presidential run.

“If you go to almost any state in this country, including the most conservative, and you ask them if it makes sense to give tax breaks to billionaires while making cuts to Medicare and Medicaid and education, they will say ‘no,'” Sanders said on Monday in San Francisco.

Bernie would be a GREAT choice for the Demonrats.

Communist replaces Communist.

Fun was had by all....

[BigEdLB]

I disagree with Bernie 99.9% of the time, but I think he has personal integrity.

[navyguy]

I pray for a Sanders/Warren ticket. It will be enormously damaging to the Democratic Party because, for once, they will take off their mask.

[BigEdLB]

The thing about Bernie is that he actually believes what he says, like Kucinich. Delusional is thoroughly entertaining.

[Red Badger]

RUN, BERNIE, RUN!!!!!.........................

[bert]

I think so too

bernoe = bob dole

epic fail

“and you ask them if it makes sense to give tax breaks to billionaires while making cuts to Medicare and Medicaid and education, they will say ‘no,’” Sanders said”

being a rightwinger, I never head of this. Those billionaires are mostly liberals. Why don’t you ask your fellow libtard billionaires to fork over half their dough for the common good then?

If this happens, the Democrats will be officially called the National Socialist American Worker's Party.

Personal Integrity or Political Consistency? There can be a significant difference.

[grania]

FWIW, I prefer someone who actually believes what they say. You know where they’re at. Cruz/Sessions vs Sanders/Kucinich would be the dream matchup to give clarity to the issues the US faces.

[slumber1]

One socialist is as good as another. I think they will find that the country as a whole is not nearly as far left as they think it is.

[kevkrom]

At this point, Hillary only has two things working in her favor among Democrats: nostalgia for Bill and the fact that the alternatives are somehow worse.

[bigbob]

At least he is honest about his beliefs.

[Theoria]

Correct. He is one of the few who actually says whats he believes and has 'integrity'.

[GeronL]

He is consistent in his lying, is that really “integrity”?

[blueunicorn6]

Bernie is 73. Paleface Lizzy is 65.

The youthful faces of the Democrat Party.

Hey college kids! Vote for wrinkles!

Hahahahahahaha!

[TomGuy]

Sanders is no more an alternative to Hillary than Peter King is an alternative to Jeb.

At this point, Hillary only has two things working in her favor among Democrats: nostalgia for Bill and the fact that the alternatives are somehow worse.

I still think we will see a new face emerge on the Dems side by late summer or early fall. There has always been a sizeable faction that does not like the Clintons. That faction found Obama. Most likely, they are already grooming someone else -- and not necessarily one with a household name at present.

The “billionaire class” are overwhelmingly liberal Democrats.
