Bernie Sanders spoke to a crowd of over 20,000 people in Massachusetts Saturday night. It was the largest rally in the state in recent history, according to the Boston Globe, topping the crowd of 10,000 that came out eight years ago for Barack Obama.

He shouldn't be underestimated as an opponent. I even saw Reason Magazine speaking well of him. He is playing to more than just the greed crowd, but a victim populist narrative that has been seeded in the public a lot lately. You are a victim of the rich. You are a victim of the establishment. You are a victim of corporations. I'm actually more concerned about him right now (if Joe doesn't jump in) than Hillary. I think the greed/freebie mindset is very strong, especially among what is becoming one of the largest new voting blocks the Right is ignoring, Millennials.

It seems we're destined to have to go through a self-imposed socialist hell.

Former Federal Reserve Bank Chairman Ben Bernanke said recently, that some bank execs should have gone to prison.

I don't see Bernanke as some wild eyed class envy pusher, from the far left. I hear a lot of class envy on the right.

I listened to a discussion on Patriot Sirius XM radio today, and how the far right (the fringe of 40-60 House Reps.) want to oppose the Chamber of Commerce factions.

The American political/economic system has become fascism, and the arrogance of American corporations is so great that they believe they can buy and hold anyone.  One hilarity that would come from a Sanders presidency would be the horror that would play out in corporate boardrooms when he started attempting to nationalize industries.

From what I've read, that $26 million came from small donations.  Hillary's $28 million raised came from corporations and wealthy backers.

Which means that Sanders can come back and ask for more money from his donors, as they did not come anywhere near their donation caps.  But Hillary is running the risk of tapping out her contributors.
