Bernie Sanders Makes Rolling Stone's Top 25 Hottest Sex Symbols for 2015

That is adorable!!



Hip? Nope. Stylish? Not really. Overly concerned with either of those things? No way. And yet, despite all that – or perhaps because of it – America still swooned for Bernie Sanders in 2015. The lovable-yet-cantankerous political underdog has become a runaway sensation this election cycle, garnering support from musicians like David Crosby, Killer Mike and the Red Hot Chili Peppers, and snapping at the heels of the establishment with a Larry David-ian determination. So what if he doesn't comb his hair? Thanks to his rumpled appeal and no-nonsense attitude, Sanders has rallied massive grassroots support and touched off a political revolution. And there's nothing sexier than telling the One Percent to shove it. RKC

post a fluff piece or adoring article about Sanders with the comment that he gets no coverage, it makes me laugh.

integrity, honesty, principles. Bernie has all that and more. Women I know, find those attributes very, very sexy. So no surprise here.

They also like it when people are appropriately angry or passionate choose your favorite adjective. I think Bernie is kind more than anything though. Yes, I have seen him fired up and yes I do like that as well. He is honest and he works hard. I would love to see one of the top 25 sexiest people as President of the United States and Bernie is the only one running.
