quote [ Sanders’s movement is becoming the Democratic Party ]
I'm betting he could get nominated. Should he run again or is he too old?
Even though Sanders has come to the aid of the ACA in its time of need it seems he is drawing the line in the sand for 2018
Sanders 'litmus test' alarms Democrats Bernie Sanders' single-payer plan sparks fears of primary election challenges. It really feels like the power has shifted inside the party. The organization, the drive is all on Sanders side. I think the elders felt the shift too but they have not fully came to terms with it. I just watched MTP Daily where they asked several Democratic elected official who was the head of the party they squirmed and humhawed and said... "many people are" because they know its Sanders and they can't bring themselves to say it. Nobody in the party has the organization he does...our revolution is still growing and he has The most coveted things in Democratic politics ...His donor list from 2016... hell he is even writing a book "Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders (I) is writing a book for teens interested in progressive politics, called "Bernie Sanders Guide to Political Revolution." The book, designed as a how-to guide for students eager to begin work as political activists, is out on August 29th" Bernie Sanders writing teen guide to political revolution If he runs I vote for him, but I don't know if I want him to or not...he has earned the right either way.

So did Obama and occupy wall street make it mainstream? Bernie may have been making speeches at church groups in VT, but he wasn't recognized on a national stage until he started repeating his schtick on the coat tails of Obama? Hope? Yes we can? Grass roots level support, and trying to collar wall street and corporate greed?
