Bernie Sanders Open To 2016 Presidential Run
And I'd vote for him.

"Anyone who really, really wants to be president is slightly crazy because this is an unbelievably difficult job given the crises that this country faces today."
Nevertheless, Sanders said that there needs to be a 2016 candidate who will go after Wall Street, focus on poverty and the collapse of the middle class, address global warming and oppose cuts to Social Security and Medicare -- all issues that Sanders has taken on while in the Senate.
And according to the Free Press, "Sanders says he is willing to consider making a run if no one else with progressive views similar to his ends up taking the plunge."
"Under normal times, it's fine, you have a moderate Democrat running, a moderate Republican running," Sanders said. "These are not normal times. The United States right now is in the middle of a severe crisis and you have to call it what it is."
Sanders said he would probably run as an independent.
