If Socialist Senator Barry Sanders Runs, He'll Run Against Wall Street, Not Clinton

If Sanders runs, he'll be running against Wall Street, not Clinton. "If Sanders does run, of course, he won't win. A poll from CNN this month put his support at 5 percent, less than it is for Hillary Clinton (by far), Vice President Biden (by a large amount) and Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.). He's one of the few elected officials in American history to embrace the word 'socialist' to describe his policies. But even though his campaign is clearly an attempt to draw attention to the issues he cares about — wealth inequality, the Citizens United decision — he wasn't willing to strongly criticize either Clinton or President Obama in doing so." Philip Bump in The Washington Post.
