Hillary Clinton is attempting to seem more liberal in recent speeches, and yet there’s still a thirst for someone from the progressive wing of the Democratic party to challenge her.

“Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders is expected to announce plans to seek the Democratic nomination for president on Thursday, presenting a liberal challenge to Hillary Clinton.
Sanders, an independent who describes himself as a “democratic socialist,” will follow a formal statement with a major campaign kickoff in his home state in several weeks. Two people familiar with his announcement spoke to The Associated Press under condition of anonymity to describe internal planning.
Sanders will become the second major figure to join the Democrat race, joining Clinton. He has urged the former secretary of state to speak out strongly about issues related to income inequality and climate change. The former first lady and New York senator is viewed as a heavy favorite in the Democratic primary and formally entered the race earlier this month.”*
Comments
Bernie Sanders supports all the issues I am interested in which makes him a sleeper. I like that someone finally stressed that Saudi Arabia, who have made our defense contractors wealthy, should be playing more of a military role in stabilizing the Middle East. He would be a better protector of the American Economy because of his knowledge about what banking regulations are needed and why. Not one Republican candidate could answer that question as fully as Sanders. The response from Republicans would be to reduce regulation and they need to be asked to give specifics why. You will get the most wishy washy answers indicating other people are putting the position in their heads.
I believe he has a chance if the actual election is held in the Fourth Dimension during a Leap Year
when a Black Man is elected Pope during a full Lunar eclipse.
