More: Bernie Sanders 2016: I’m running - POLITICO (29. April 2015)Sanders, a self-described democratic socialist and the longest-serving independent in congressional history, is expected to have a larger campaign kickoff event in Vermont in a few weeks.
“People should not underestimate me,” Sanders, 73, said in an Associated Press interview announcing his decision Wednesday. “I’ve run outside of the two-party system, defeating Democrats and Republicans, taking on big-money candidates and, you know, I think the message that has resonated in Vermont is a message that can resonate all over this country.”
Sounds like the first half-decent candidate in this race.
