You Choose... Sanders or the Presidency

65. Did you ever think about the considerations before he decided to run?

There is no way he would have even spoke of the concept unless he saw the risks and benefits of taking on the challenge.
The first and primary negative was the marginalization and derision by the corporate media. That was a given for decades. Next was the derision based on his "socialist" identity. We have been subjected to decades of demonizing socialism as something antithetical to democracy.
He might not be able to win either the nomination or the general election but his whole campaign has been about everything but Bernie.
People of every political stripe have heard the message and can relate it to their own life experience and that justifies his position as a representative for their interests. Those who dig a little deeper know that he has been consistent over his entire career to fight for the best for everyone.
Bernie will win even if he loses when the nation learns they are being played and exploited and can organize and educate themselves and their neighbors to fight for their own interests.
