I am glad Bernie Sanders is running

I will still vote for HRC. But I am glad somebody is making sure income inequality is on the front burner right now. Bernie is a great man. I have loved him for years. His presence also educates people about what a socialist really is - and that it isn't something scary.

I think that is the purpose of his running. He does not expect to win. But can get attention, as a Senator who says he is running.

out there if he weren't running. I think HRC is and has always been good on pocket book issues. Bernie forces her to prioritize that message. That is good for the country and democrats.
