I like Bernie Sanders because he is progressive. [View all]

His ideas aren't newly created fringe lefty ideas. The truth is, the current party warped the word by still using it after it adopted ideas from traditional conservatism. I'm old school. I will never assimilate into the present reconstructed party after Reagan and the '80s. Look forward to the debates tonight.
