| Sen. Bernie Sanders open to White House run in 2016: report |
| 2013-11-19 |
| [WASHINGTONTIMES] Sen. Bernard Sanders, Vermont independent, says anybody who really wants to be president is "slightly crazy" -- but that he would be open to a run in 2016 if a suitably progressive candidate does not emerge. "Under normal times, it's fine, you have a moderate Democrat running, a moderate Republican running," Mr. Sanders told the Burlington Free Press. "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." Mr. Sanders told the paper he probably would run as an independent -- he currently caucuses with Democrats -- but that he would be at an immediate disadvantage because he wouldn't be getting any money from Wall Street or corporate America. |

| #2 He's a bit too late, that Bernie. "The American people will never knowingly adopt Socialism. But under the name of 'liberalism' they will adopt every fragment of the Socialist program, until one day America will be a Socialist nation, without knowing how it happened." - Norman Mattoon Thomas |
