Not Bernie----Nader was a nadir

“If it happens that I do not win that process, would I run outside of the system?" Sanders said in the interview broadcast by C-SPAN. "No, I made the promise that I would not and I will keep that promise. And the reason for that is I do not want to be responsible for electing some right-wing Republican to be president of the United States.”

and such, he strikes me as being a realist in the best sense of the word.

He knows the stakes in this election (which is why he's running) and he also knows the immense damage a President Trump or President Cruz would cause. And as far as I know, Bernie has always kept his word. So this is immensely reassuring for me to see, and makes me glad, yet again, that he got my vote in the primary.
