In reply to the discussion: Why I want to see Senator Sanders run for the Democratic nomination for President [View all]democrank
(11,120 posts)That`s why we end up debating how much golf is too much for President Obama instead of how many homeless are too many. The word "leftist" gets thrown around when discussing someone supporting basic Democratic principles. That`s how off-kilter things are right now. Our party`s centrist knob has been whacked way right which makes those fighting for old Democratic causes look like crazed fanatics by today`s standards. Lefties. Unicorn lovers. Probably even dirty hippies.
Bernie Sanders is going to straighten out this foolishness with his straight-to-the-point honesty. He not only knows how the traps work, he knows who is operating them. He`s tough, he`s right and he`s fearless. Watch how he responds when an interviewer tries to drag him into the alternate universe mainstream media so adores. He`ll set a wonderful example for many of our feckless leaders. Go Bernie!
