The symbolism of a Sanders presidency would have been huge, but no good crying tears over what might have been at this point, I guess...

Working 111 days this year making $223,00 a year and doing stop gap funding of the government--------------BS

From last year but still:

AMHERST — More Republicans view Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders as more honest than almost all of their own candidates, according to a poll released Sunday by the University of Massachusetts Amherst and WBZ-TV in Boston.

They even have a Facebook page "Republicans for Bernie"

https://www.facebook.com/republicansforbernie

I think a healthy percent of Republican voters would not be that opposed to the idea.
