''He's a shouty old man with a lot of good ideas.''

‘Shouty old man’ Bernie Sanders still stokes Missouri students’ passions
http://www.kansascity.com/opinion/opn-columns-blogs/melinda-henneberger/article174708581.html


Excerpts:

... some of the young people who were standing around outside the Champ Auditorium hoping to meet him said that they not only believe he does do what he promises, but that they feel they have something in common with Sanders that transcends age or any other outward difference.

“He’s a shouty old man with a lot of good ideas.”

“He realizes the position our generation is in,’’ said Danny Chicas, a junior business major from Dallas, “and talks about the human aspect” of every issue.

Best of all, “he doesn’t always say what people want to hear.”

“Bernie sees us as the future,” said Micahlynn Hollandsworth, a freshman at nearby William Woods University, and instead of just saying that, shows it in everything he focuses on.

And what makes him a tough act to follow is that this isn’t an act at all.
