On Friday, January 20, 2017, Bernie Sanders will be sworn in as our nation's 45th president. I explain why Sanders wins the Democratic nomination and presidency in my recent appearance on The Thom Hartmann Program. If you've disagreed with my thought process in the past, just watch the segment and you'll understand why Bernie Sanders is the true Democratic front-runner. American politicians don't set records with 2.3 million contributions (breaking Obama's record), draw crowds of over 100,000 people several months after announcing, and raise more money than every GOP candidate without massive political momentum. Furthermore, nobody in American politics goes from 5.3% support in the Democratic Primary race on March 9, 2015 to over 30% support in December, without media attention (Sanders gets 1/23th the television coverage of Trump) and with pundits giving the candidate little chance of success. The underlying data (money raised, attendance at events, social media popularity) undermines the polling data showing Clinton leading by a wide margin. Remember, Clinton was up by a similar margin over Obama in 2007.
His ascent is genuine, and when Bernie wins Iowa and New Hampshire, the Clinton machine will run into a powerful force called the American people.
The likelihood of a Sanders presidency should increase exponentially in your mind when considering the following scenarios. If you can imagine Hillary Clinton becoming Commander in Chief, after labeling her Iraq War vote as merely a "mistake," and with tens of thousands of her emails the subject of an expanded FBI investigation, then you trust the former Secretary of State with the future of our nation.

Let’s all head out to Oak Island and bury our treasure. They have already dug up the place.
Bernie has had crowds of over 100,000???
>>Bernie has had crowds of over 100,000???
Maybe that inflation comes with any socialist.
Well, my scenario omits James Earl Ray and Sirhan Sirhan, as well.
The author seems totally unaware that the South's gimmedat voters far outnumber the pseudo intellectual millennial socialists and independents who will vote in the Democratic primaries.
This is what results from people who think they are educated and who believe they are wise beyond their years but who are profoundly ignorant of history.
However, lest we mock too much we must remind ourselves that should an unfortunate accident happen to She Who Must Not Be Named such as someone actually acting on her multitudinous and ongoing criminal activity, the Dems are going to have to nominate somebody. Dennis the K has, I am informed, returned to his home galaxy and so who is going to fill the need of the spotted weasels, the lovers of underage rubber boots, the bumper sticker sloganeers, and the wearers of Che t-shirts? Who will hold aloft the red banner? Bernie!
Or we could trade them Yeb for a cracked bat and a player to be named later...
Bernie—remember Paul Wellstone’s airplane?
Hillary does.
He IS feeding pigeons, just the Bernie voters don’t know it yet ...
Huffingglue.
Sanders is really just Ross Perot reskinned...
I certainly hope so.
We should hang on to this article, to use when Cruz or Trump win. Kind of a "DEWEY WINS" moment.
Bernie needs to go to Venezuela and then Cuba to straighten out those countries and then come back to the US.
“Sanders wouldn’t be any worse than Hitlery.”
I would like to see the country club GOPE work with Sanders “to get things done”. He would go after their money and if they (the country clubbers) actually nominated Yeb they would plainly deserve it.
I see what you’re saying.
He IS feeding pigeons, just the Bernie voters don’t know it yet ...
Good one!
Sanders is openly a socialist. Hillary calls herself a “progressive.†Chris Matthews asked her to explain the difference between a socialist and a liberal and she couldn’t.
That’s right. Bernie is mostly honest and Hitlery is always dishonest.
Libs don’t like to hear that.
Given the efficiency of the Rats’ voter fraud machine, his prediction may be accurate.
At least he is honest about his intentions and his economic ignorance.
