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.

Hillary did say the other day that she thinks aliens from outer space have already visited us. She will declare that all Sanders votes are offspring from these aliens and therefore null.
Sorry y'all but the interviewee was not Hillary but her DNC enabler, Debbie Wasserman-Schultz. Not saying that the outcome would have been any different but facts is facts!
The farce is strong in this one!
Thanks for the clarification.
No, I saw a clip on TV of Chrissie interviewing Hillary. No doubt DWS is equally unable to explain the difference.
Chris Matthews asked her to explain the difference between a socialist and a liberal and she couldn’t.

Sorry, SES1066 but Special Report on Fox just had a segment on that and Hitlery mumbled and stumbled with Chris Matthews on the question.
Saw the same report and as of now, since that was an apparent very recent interview, you are correct. Hillary weaved, danced and deflected since she also had no answer - as there is none!
Still, I think that this was an interview just in the last couple of days and since I pay about as much attention to 'Tingles' as I do to dirt, I'm not too worried that I thought that the reference was to the earlier infamous interview of DWS. Now the infamity belongs too both!
Bernie Sanders, quite frankly, in addition to being magnitudes better than Hillary, would be far better than the vast majority of the GOP candidates as well, with the exception of Trump and Cruz.
Yes, I know Bernie is an avowed socialist. But, because of his populism, perhaps, he'd still be better than most of the other GOP candidates, IMHO. For instance, being from Vermont, I doubt he'd be an advocate for gun control, or corporate welfare, although I could be mistaken...
I agree. Good points.
Okay.
He is a Communist. Sure, he would!
On second thought, I think you’re right.
