Bernie Sanders

Bernie Sanders (who many feel is better than Hillary Clinton), is the Junior (only in title, he's actually the oldest presidential candidate in 2016) US senator from Vermont. He is a Liberal Progressive with the Democrats he describes himself as a Democratic socialist. He is also the founder of the Congressional Progressive Caucus which has grown from 5 members when Sanders founded it to 56 members today.

Support
Sanders has now dropped out of the Democratic Party, but he supports Hillary Clinton for President because he realizes a Trump presidency would be a bit more of a disaster for the United States of America and the World, than a Clinton presidency.

Another reason he decided to support Hillary instead of Jill Stein, is that he knows a that a 3rd party won't win, so he did an extremely grudgeful, KMN (Kill Me Now) endorsement of Hillary.

Keep in mind though, Sanders supporters, he DID say that Hillary should do something to EARN your vote.

Views
Sanders believes in:
 * Universal, single-payer health care.
 * Free college and graduate education.
 * Making sure the wealthy pay their fair share (or something like that)
 * Lessening the influence that large sums of cash have in politics
 * Restriction of the free market.
 * Legalizing cannabis and releasing kids from prison who were ONLY run in for da weeeeed!
 * Fighting Global warming.

2016 Presidential Election
Bernie officially joined the race for the 2016 presidency, as a member of the Democratic Party. While he was behind Hillary in most polls, he did beat her in 22 states. Sanders criticised Hillary Clinton for her 9/11 comments at a November 2015 debate. some Economists were advising People to buy environmentally friendly local stocks if Sanders became President of the United States. On March 23 2016 The awesome TV network called The Young Turks interviewed Sanders.

Quote from Bernie Sanders
As Vermont’s senator, as one of the most progressive members of Congress and as the longest serving Independent in American history, I am helping to lead the fight against the Big Money interests in Washington. At the same time, working with activists in Vermont and across the country, we are hard at work building a strong grass-roots movement which is attempting to change our national priorities. As someone who does not accept corporate PAC money, I very much appreciate the help that tens of thousands of Americans have given my campaign.
