(5,610 posts)Bernie is investigating southern strategies, HE may be considering a WH run. I live in the South and I promise to do whatever possible to elect Bernie Sanders.
IMO, he is the FDR of our generation. If anyone can unite people nation-wide it is Bernie. He is an intelligent, people-first
politician, with a lot of experience and a Progressive vision for America.
I really believe that if Southerners get acquainted with his views, he can win the WH, "hands down."
Most Southerners (low information is the majority here) have no idea (which to me is tragic) what Bernie Sanders stands for or the "get 'er done", straight to the people, style that he uses (effectively).
IMO, being an independent would work for him and I can think of no one better suited to represent all Americans, unless you consider corporations as people.
