If Sanders can educate enough voters and get them to turn out then he can win and get a Democratic Congress. If voter apathy prevails or the Republicans do a better job of getting their voters to the polls then we continue down the road to serfdom. If Hillary is the Democratic nominee I see eight more years of gridlock. The best she is likely to be able to do is improve the Supreme Court.

FDR hit the right tone. Yep. But he did it in very different and much more calamitous economic times. And, as a member of the patrician class, he milked that stuff for public support. I've read several places that those around him were never impressed with his policy smarts but stunned by his political smarts.
