2. He's amazing...no Political Doublespeak or Vagueness

It's so refreshing.

But....he's got to get the airtime from MSM so that average Americans can see him. And, there lies the problem. They'd rather rave over the Repub "Clown Car" and who is leading than to show a challenger to Hillary. I think Wall Street and MSM would be just as happy with a Repub as a Democrat these days.

I'm hopeful that he has a following from those progressives on the internet who cut their cable or got sick of the MSM ravings on CNN/Faux and looked for alternatives like Thom Hartmann, Democracy Now and Podcasts of Progressive voices who KNOW who Bernie Sanders is and have heard him interviewed for years on the "Alternate Media."

But, then, I often get over optimistic about New Media vs. Old being able to make a big difference.
