Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) said Saturday morning that voters will see stark differences between himself and Hillary Clinton if the two both decide to run for the White House in 2016.
Trust me, there will be a real clash of ideas, Sanders said on MSNBCs Up with Steve Kornacki.
I happen to like and respect Hillary Clinton, but I suspect on issues like massive investments in infrastructure, on real tax reform, on the need to deal in a very bold way with the planetary crisis of climate change, with the transpacific partnership, I suspect we will have some real differences.
Sanders is flirting with entering the 2016 Democratic presidential primary, but Clinton is a prohibitive favorite. Despite her huge lead for the nomination in opinion polls, however, there are signs of discontent among progressives, especially when it comes to Clintons economic worldview.

(99,710 posts)He would have to become a dem to debate her. It doesn't help the dem nominee at all to go into the GE without a lively primary season. I plan to vote for Hillary but someone could change mind.

Part of Hillary's statement made on August 8, 2007
It's time to stop asking how we can afford to fix our infrastructure †and start asking how we can afford not to. It's time to ask ourselves, what if we could shave minutes †even hours †off our commutes? What if we could shave hours †even days †off our shipping times? What if our ports could send and receive tons of additional goods each week, safely? What if we had public transit system and a rail system that dramatically reduced our reliance on foreign oil, and our carbon dioxide emissions, and our smog and air pollution.
