Something similar is what is leading the Sanders revolution Nope. the Sanders revolution is firmly rooted in the growing populist movement. For a while it looked like the Tea Party movement was there, but it quickly got co-opted by the very forces that populism rails against. It is a response to growing wealth concentration. Just look at the politics of the mid-1800s. The Republicans are drifting into the Know Nothing camp, Trump is appealing to this group, and the left is drifting towards some sort of socialism like Lincoln was. And no, this has nothing to do with Obama. It has been a growing factor for going on 3 decades. Where it ends, no one knows. But if Wallstreet crashes the economy again, it won't be pretty. Revolutionary change is in the offing.

You can argue that the radicalization of the GOP voter base is what led to the current roster of clowns competing for the nomination. Something similar is what is leading the Sanders revolution. And that's substantial given that at one time, Hillary's nomination was supposed to be "inevitable." Ok...I agree with this. I do have to add however that, while Sanders on the Dem side is talking pie in the sky, the intent and content are american realities...the republican equivalent side is talking downright bat shit crazy stuff. "I find the level of discourse and discussion distressingly banal and an outrage and an insult to the voters," Bloomberg told the Financial Times, adding that the public deserved "a lot better." The New York Times reported last month that he was considering a plan to run as an independent because he was troubled by Donald Trump's success on the Republican side, and Hillary Clinton's inability to stanch Bernie Sanders' growth on the Democratic side. And in a way, all of this is thanks to Obama. Ok...you're going to have to explain this to me. Al
