` Presidential candidate Bernie Sanders addressed an estimated 100,000 supporters at more than 3,500 house parties in all 50 states on Wednesday night, at what is being called the largest campaign event of the 2016 election cycle thus far. The organizing kick-off, which Sen. Sanders (I-Vt.) said was aimed at building a political movement from the ground up, saw the democratic socialist beamed into bars, libraries, and living rooms from Alaska to Florida. There was a "custom cocktail" featuring Vermont maple syrup at a bar in Washington, D.C., while a Texas event served up "brisket and biscuits for Bernie."

The man himself spoke from what the Burlington Free Press described as "a modest, steamy apartment" in the nation's capitol. His remarks were delivered "off a yellow legal pad balanced precariously on a wobbly music stand," added Salon. "Tonight is a historical night and all of us are making history," Sanders said. "Why are we seeing spontaneous uprisings if you like and meetings in cities and town all over this country? My answer is the American people are saying loudly and clearly, enough is enough." - Source (http://www.commondreams.org/news/2015/07/30/sanders-makes-history-2016-cycles-biggest-campaign-event-yet)

` Aside from the fact that I like Bernie, both he and Trump, however dissimilar as they look, are actually running against their own Republicrat parties. Both parties have become whores and puppets to the corporations and the tens of millions of dollars they have stuffed into the pockets. Both candidates are running against an entrenched system that is dictating to the voters what they should be concerned about as opposed to what the voters themselves think is important. Call it a rebellion of sorts.

People are waking up to the reality that the Establishment is (D) and (R).

Even outside of the Establishment we see the tension between placing faith in man or government.

Who knows? Maybe 2016 will be the year of the third party. We can hope.

I see Sanders as a "do'er" more than a "talker", but even in the unlikely event of him becoming President, the "ONLY" thing the Republican Party wants to do is, cut every program that help people, give more money to the Rich, send everyone else family to their Wars. Thus, unless he has the power behind the Presidency, it will only be more BLOCKING of any Progress.

For this reason I'm kind of excited about Sanders.

I would never vote for the commie bastard but I like the direction he's pushing the establishment.
