Sanders = Trump

I can’t believe I’m saying this but Bernie Sanders seems to be in the same position as Trump was just over 3 years ago.  I was watching MSNBC this morning and I couldn’t believe the outright disdain for Sanders and the expressed fear of him becoming the nominee.  This is the left-leaning news outlet, right?  The Iowa Caucus (for what it’s worth) proved that he is loved by many people and appeals to the liberal base.  The talking heads don’t believe he has a chance, ultimately, but just the thought of him becoming the nominee makes them shudder.  We don’t even need to talk about how the conservative-minded feel about Sanders.  Does this sound familiar?  Trump in 2016?  These types of candidates could be just what the people want; the type of candidate that appeals to the majority of their base and has ideas that resonate with the American people.  Why you hate Trump is exactly why you love Sanders but one thing you should love about Trump (if you are a Bernie supporter) is the headwinds he overcame to become president…the same headwinds that Bernie will face for the entirety of his campaign to gain the nomination.
