Despite recent reports Sen. Sanders was cooling to the idea, he hasn't Ruled Out A Presidential Run

Despite recent reports that Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vermont) was cooling to the idea of a 2016 presidential run, the progressive lawmaker said this week that the possibility is still on the table.

"Don’t believe everything you read," he told the New Hampshire Union Leader when asked about reports that he may not be considering running after all.

"When you have my politics and you're taking on the entire establishment, you have to make sure that if you do it you do it well," the self-described democratic socialist continued. "That's what we’re trying to figure out now."

"We are ... trying to determine whether or not we can raise the very substantial sums of money one needs in this day and age to run a campaign against people who have unlimited sums of money," he told New Hampshire Public Radio.

Is necessary to define the difference between us & them.
I want the Gop to be soundly attacked by as many candidates as possible on every rotten thing the GOP stands for.
I want enough candidates to out shine & out shout every nasty snake from the GOP every time they open their lying mouths.

I want this to become a unified movement to call out the sleazy Right Wing.
