Bernie puts the uselessness and cowardice of BOTH parties' politicians in clear perspective.

He seems more real and genuine than ever, going back to videos taken back in the early 90s.

Other pols look slimier and slimier, by the day, in comparison.

All he has to do is BE HEARD, and folks will flock to him, as they more clearly begin to see
the shallowness of the gang of phony-balonies he is competing against.
