2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumI'm starting to feel that Bernie is going to be a natural as president, and could be a great one.
All the excitement aside, it's just so obvious he's the right person for the job right now. We all want someone who is going to lead the charge for reform, but more importantly we want someone who is REAL. Despite the party differences out there, his honesty will bring people together. His sincerity and earnestness may even inspire enough politicians to forget their careers and their paymasters for a moment and vote for real campaign finance reform. Despite all the hand-wringing from the 1% and their puppets in the MSM, I think everyone will breathe a collective sigh of relief once he wins. We're tired of the phoniness. We want someone to tell it like it is. Deep down, I think we all know he's the one we need right now.

(9,841 posts)Despite his politics, Bernie has got real crossover appeal.... it's quite a phenomenon!
If there really is a Zeitgeist, it's pushing everyone toward Bernie.

(1,642 posts)who I'd want to run for POTUS, I'd have said Bernie Sanders.
This would be based solely on the many time I heard him interviewed on radio and TV. For example, brunch with Bernie on Thom Hartmann.
I always saw him as presidential.
Peace.
