We speak with John Nichols, political writer for The Nation, about the presidential candidacy of Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders. Nichols introduced Sanders at a recent event in Madison, Wisconsin, where the senator drew a record crowd of more than 10,000 people. "The key thing here is this 2016 presidential race, at least on the Democratic side, and I would even suggest on the Republican side, is being profoundly influenced by movements that are demanding that income inequality, wage gaps, wage stagnation be addressed," Nichols says. "Something big is happening, and I think that's why people are turning out in these huge numbers."

1. Something big IS happening - it's the people of the world beginning to

repudiate neoliberal capitalism and neoconservative colonialism. The primacy of the shareholder at the expense of labor, customer and the environment simply has to stop. We cannot sustain it more than a few more years, max. People are beginning to realize that, I think. Look at all the new people on here, most of whom are supporting Bernie, the (gasp) socialist (shudder).
