From the Dutch News site, nu.nl

Yes, it's small, but it is there: http://www.nu.nl/algemeen/4040562/democraat-bernie-sanders-kandidaat-amerikaans-presidentschap.html

I have been learning Dutch, so I'll try to translate.

Democrat and Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont has announced that he will participate in the US presidential election next year.
This was reported by news agency AP . Sanders travels for months across the country and talk to liberal groups in critical presidential states.

Sanders (73), who describes himself as a socialist, as Democrat challenger Hillary Clinton, who has already announced that she will make a bid for the presidency. The senator thinks he has a good chance.

He especially wants to battle against the rich. According to Sanders, there are plenty of Americans who support him in this. '' I am confident that they want a fundamental change, and that the government gets to work for ordinary Americans, not just for billionaires. "



And over in the Netherlands, "socialist" is not a dirty word!

Interesting that other countries are already paying attention to the campaigns.
