The problems were the same 26 years ago.

Mr. Sanders had the answers then, and he has the answers now.

He is constant to a fault.

His only deviation is running as a Democratic candidate.

If this country only has two political parties, I want Mr. Sanders at the helm

of the Democratic party.

His ideas and solutions should be those of the Democratic party, but alas, they are not.

We know you are a Socialist Progressive Mr. Sanders.

We are behind you.

Run on the Democratic ticket and Show the Democratic party how out of touch they are.

As the interview makes clear.

And what a breath of fresh air THAT is.

calling in were interesting (maybe confused would be more apt) to say the least.

Mr. Sanders never wavers from his principles.

He has never voted yes for a single Free Trade Deal.

He represents the needs of the majority.

He knows what needs to be done to start this country on the right path.

He doesn't change his positions for popularity.

He isn't a breath of fresh air, his is a cyclone of truth and solutions.

either explaining succinctly why and how they were so wrong or simply dismissing them altogether.

Bernie is saying the same things now he said then. What a refreshing thought
