Oh My - Have You All Seen John Cole's - "Sanders surge" Toon?



A few days ago I opined that certain GOP presidential candidates like Donald Trump, Ben Carson and Ted Cruz had exactly zero chance of securing their party’s nomination in 2016. The same hold true on the other end of the political spectrum, where Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders is taking on the well-moneyed juggernaut otherwise known as Hillary Clinton. Sanders’ brand of populist socialism and excoriation of the one-percent is proving quite popular with the Democratic base, though. His recent two-month take of $15 million in contributions and standing-room-only campaign appearances suggest that Hillary’s fore-ordained road to the nomination might well be a bumpy one.
