Who would be the coolest POTUS? (It's a good time for some Bernie-lovin')

Remember when John Heilmann on Morning Joe talked about how it's surprising that Bernie did better than Obama in terms of online fundraising because Bernie's not "cool"? (And of course, my immediate thought at the moment was, "He's way more cool than all of you bozos combined&quot

Obama's definitely cool for sure. He's probably the coolest POTUS in modern history. I like his sense of humor, too.
Bernie's also cool, but in a very different way; Obama's more sleek and sophisticated, and Bernie's more raw and completely bullshit-free. Bernie's delivery of joke tends to be dry, blunt, and on-point.

One of my favorite is when he dissed Trump in this instance:





And, can you imagine any other presidential candidate talking to Killer Mike and Residente and match their coolness?
I mean, really.





I was watching this, and Residente is like the coolest dude ever. Killer Mike as well. And Bernie matches their coolness.


For those of you who have a finely-tuned bullshit detector -like I do-, Bernie would be the coolest POTUS ever.
So what do you think makes Bernie cool? It's a good time for some Bernie-loving.

And that's why millennials love him. Authenticity, integrity and compassion.

He is pushing for the kind of America that children are taught to believe exists. The America that has been torn down and sold out since Nixon's time.
