Bernie Sanders Officially Announces 2016 Presidential RunPublished on Apr 30, 2015
He hits the issues that Average Americans are Dealing with..and I've not heard anyone Do this Better!
Senator Bernie Sanders held a press conference this afternoon to officially announce his 2016 run for the White House. Sanders spent a great deal of his announcement taking questions from reporters and laying out his agenda for the country, focusing on the wealth gap and the billionaire class that is literally able to buy elections.
Wonderful Q&A with Corporate Press....
Give them hell Bernie!
I've was fortunate enough to meet Bernie at a DSA meeting in San Diego years and years ago and I can tell you he's stayed on message the whole time, a true peoples advocate.

(84,711 posts)It was like the "Wash Over" of "TRUTH TO POWER!"
He has the BACKGROUND of life of Experience to Back Up his CREDENTIALS!
Loved watching it.
I can't wait for Progressive Dems to rally around him...like Warren, Sherrod Brown and others who've not had a Leader to coalesce their Message!
It isn't going to be easy for him with the Opposition...but if YOUNG PEOPLE could listen to him and Hear his Message!
Wouldn't that be Great!

This guy is absolutely brilliant. I have seen the metaphor around, and I don't know of an alternate one: pinch me, I must be dreaming.

His being in the race will have a significantly positive effect on this country. And I think we may be pleasantly surprised by his popularity, once people hear him speak.
America may just be ready for a courageous straight talker from Vermont with a Brooklyn accent. I'm serious.
