Can't we assume that from the fact that he can't raise the billion dollars needed to successfully run for President in the first place?
Actually, Hillary's currently goal is $2.5b.

I think nearly the same.

Bernie isn't wealthy, doesn't have wealthy backers and doesn't inspire nor terrify through his rhetoric. America will never vote for him.

For me, Bernie fits into the Jerry Brown and Ralph Nader category. I disagree with them on soooo much (not everything) but I have to respect them because they have balls and say what they believe and address criticism head on...

They ain't trying to pull a fast one on anyone. They stand tall, take the heat and don't change with popular opinion.

What you see is what you get and that is rarer than Hen's teeth these days.

I think 3 people share my views and none of them are politicians.

But I do trust Bernie even though I really really really disagree with him.

I trust that I know exactly who he is...and that's a batshit crazy ole coot, which upon review seems to have no bearing on whether you'll be successful as a president. Andrew Jackson was insane and a damn effective leader....Reagan was an emptyheaded empty suit with dementia....will probably end up on Rushmore.

I like my presidents Bat Shit Crazy.

The cold calculating ones are horrifying.

That being said, i would only vote for Bug House Bernie if Hill-dawg was/were the only alternative.

People say that but for some reason don't move to the countries that have presidents that are.

The funny thing about Bernie and Nader et al is that they have been left behind. I saw Nader speak in Law School and then again about 5 years ago (I think) and both times he lamented how it was impossible to get "the kids" to be interested in anything other than race and LGBT issues...

It was also funny how he was honest that he and the Left are totally emotion driven. Logic and argumentation are just tactics that are effective in winning over a segment of the populace and have no intrinsic value.

For him emotion = truth.

bernies has introduced legislation to provide free college education.

progressives will instruct reactionaries in the error of their ways, using sound reasoning, a novel approach to political discourse.

he was mayor of his home state's largest city, so he has substantial executive experience.

all he needs to be presidential material is a barber

So what separates him from the 30k or so others that meet that qualification?
