This is My Candidate, Bernie Sanders - Consistent and Real for 30 years

This is from an August show of Rachel Maddow's. It was probably posted back then - but now, on the eve of the Iowa caucus - I found it inspiring to watch again. It's over 10 minutes - but worth it to see Bernie back in the 1980s talking with the same passionate honesty about the greatness we could achieve. There's some great clips from national media (young Tom Brokow) about Bernie's success as Mayor of Burlington and the many times he was reelected as Mayor, Congressman and Senator with large margins against Republicans.

Enjoy!
