?itok=luX6pwSurprised Bernie Sanders Is Leading the Polls? So Is He
Many political observers are surprised that Bernie Sanders is doing so well in the polls including Sanders himself.
"You want me to tell you the truth? Yes, I'm stunned, Sanders said during a Thursday afternoon interview on CNN's The Situation Room. Look, we have a message that I believed from day one was going to resonate with the American people. ... Did I think [the issues] would resonate as quickly as they have? The answer is no."
A Quinnipiac University polled unveiled Thursday morning found the Vermont lawmaker had wiped out former Secretary of State Hillary Clintons long-held lead among Iowa Democrats, edging her 41 percent to 40 percent.
These are indeed heady times for Sanders, the longest-serving independent lawmaker in congressional history. His entry into the race earlier this year sparked curiosity more than anything else among most political analysts, who were sure Clinton had the Democratic nomination locked up.

Most of us know there is no alternative to Bernie.
This nation is in crisis. The crisis is manifold. And the crisis isn't because taxes are too high and regulations too excessive. We are tired of the citizens being abused at every level.
