Vermont Independent Senator Bernie Sanders has lined up veteran Democratic campaign strategist Tad Devine for a prospective 2016 presidential campaign, theWashington Post reported on Tuesday morning. “I believe he could deliver an enormously powerful message the country is waiting to hear right now and do it in a way that succeeds,” Devine, a former senior adviser to the Kerry-Edwards and Gore-Lieberman campaigns, told the Post’s Robert Costa.Tapping Devine is the latest sign that Sanders is serious about exploring a run, and not averse to the attention that comes with being seen as a presidential contender. Over the past year, Sanders—the Senate’s only self-described socialist, who caucuses with Democrats—has been speaking in increasingly strong terms about his willingness to run, and about presumed frontrunner Hillary Clinton’s potential vulnerabilities. “The Clinton Administration worked arm in arm with Alan Greenspan—who is, on economic matters, obviously, an extreme right-wing libertarian—on deregulating Wall Street, and that was a total disaster,” Sanders toldthe New Yorker’s Ryan Lizza. “And then you had the welfare issue, trade policies. You had the Defense of Marriage Act.”

Run Bernie! Run! I know you have little chance to get pass the primary, but you'll do a hell of a job bringing up important issues!
 
Just what this country needs: Another Socialist ****stain occupying the Oval Office.
 
Run Bernie! And win your primary! So much for another dem POTUS.
 
Social democrats are boring
 
I want to see Sanders vs Bachmann is the general election. :cool:

Russian Roulette, except done with a double-barrel shotgun.

With two shells.

I disagree with Sanders probably on most political issues, but I do have respect for him. He is honest and a man of integrity. Being a politician, that in itself is unique. I probably would never vote for him, our political ideals are too far apart. But I wish him luck.
 
The debates between Sanders, Warren (assuming she runs) and Hillary will be interesting. Hillary will come out of them looking like Ronald Reagan reincarnated.

NOT a good thing for a democrat seeking the white house

Worked for Reagan.

But what I meant was she would end up being as far ahead of them as Reagan was of Mondale in 1984 after making Mondale look like a populist loon.

Mondale announced outright that he was going to raise everybody's taxes. He could have walked on water at that point and he still would have lost.

Yup, he thought it was clever...and it blew up in his face.
 
He doesn't stand a chance but it would be good to see him in the primary debates just like I enjoyed seeing Ron Paul in the Republican primary debates. It is always good to throw people into the mix who don't give a damn about the party line.
 
I'm an active Green, but I would vote for Bernie Sanders. I think he would do the "right" thing instead of PR, commercial, political, or financial things for self interest. I realize Big Money, machine politics, MSM, slander, libel, and political treachery will likely prevent his candidacy from having even a small chance of success.

Wait......maybe the dems think it's the socialists turn to run for the POTUS.

Well, that and the fact that we're not a socialist nation......yet.
