Bernie Sanders

I dont know what Bernie Sanders is going to do from here on, and Im not going to presume to advise him on his next steps. Hes earned the right to figure out for himself whats next for his campaign and the movement he has launched.
But let me tell you this: Hes already succeeded beyond anyones imagining.
I remember when he launched his campaign in April 2015. The media labeled him a fringe candidate. Comedians made fun of his hair and his frumpled look.
Political junkies smirked. How could a 74-year-old, political Independent, Jewish, self-described democratic socialist take on the most powerful political machine in modern history? How dare he rail against the establishment, the mainstream media, and the moneyed interests? They said he had a zero chance of getting anywhere.
Then he won 22 states.
