It’ll take an army to change Washington, says the insurgent senator—and with the crowds he’s been drawing, he just might be building one.

Bernie Sanders is mad as hell and he’s not going to take it anymore. That’s why he's running for president. He’s filled with righteous anger about a lot of things, and lots of people agree with him. Close to a thousand people turned out to see him in New Hampshire; 750 in Iowa, one of the largest crowds for any of the candidates. He’s “bulking up” now in terms of his campaign staff and he’s doing pretty well fundraising, too: With 200,000 contributors at 40 bucks a piece, that's $8 million dollars.

It has come to this: Hillary the Shillary, Elizabeth “Feathers, not dots” Warren, and Bernie “Lubyanka Red” Sanders. A specter is haunting America.

Well, we won’t do that, and yet I think under a GOP president we’ll start to recover nicely. Boehner and McConnell are light years better than Pelosi and Reid, regardless how detested they are by many in the GOP.

Give it a rest—I’m 8 years older that she is and am nervy enough to actually think I might have something to say.

“Boehner and McConnell are light years better than Pelosi and Reid, regardless how detested they are by many in the GOP.”

Sorry, but I don’t share your optimism. With Reid and Pelosi, you know they’re the enemy. With Boner and Mc Scrotumneck, you should have a very different expectation as regards their behavior. They are, at the very minimum, self-serving; at the maximum they are traitors to those who entrusted them with their seats.
