If I had to decide what president would be best it would definitely be between Hilary Clinton, and Bernie Sanders. Now if you really think about it Bernie Sanders is more of a better option. I can honestly name a thousand reasons why. First, Bernie Sanders is all about non-racism. It’s been million of pictures surfacing the web where he’s been spotted marching with Martin Luther King Jr. I believe by him being against racism, a lot of things going on right now would stop. When I speak on racism

First and foremost, I really enjoy the fact that Sanders does not hide behind his words. He speaks with a purpose, and uses clear language that will be understood by many in order to get his points across. Additionally, Sanders is not afraid to talk about the racial injustices that are occurring within our walls of society. One of his largest campaigns, is to confront the dilemmas within

Bernie Sanders truly is a candidate for the American people. He supports reducing income inequality, green energy, and making immigrating to America easier. In short, on every level he is down-to-earth and has the same interests as the common citizen. Bernie Sanders takes a very forthright approach on income inequality.

After having two terms with President Obama, you would think that we would have more qualified candidates this year. The most qualified candidate in my opinion is US Senator; Bernie Sanders.

From his youth Sanders seems to have been involved in a lot of political events and as a 20 year old he was an officer for Congress of Racial Equality (CORE).

That the state of Vermont voted to decriminalize small possession amount of marijuana and he supported that. He supported the medical use of marijuana when he was mayor.

In the episode I chose to watch, Evan Smith did an interview with Bernie Sanders. This episode was originally aired on April 16, 2015, so the topic of discussion was if Bernie Sanders would be running for president and what were the issues he would focus on if so. Sanders made some very good points when he talked about our economy and the top one percent. He stated that the Koch Brothers are the second wealthiest family in America and they spend at least $900 million in campaigns so they basically

Bernie Sanders should be elected president of 2016 for his political views on certain issues that will help America. The background of Bernie Sanders makes him an advantageous president. He started as an Independent politician. I haven’t chosen if I’m a Democrat or Republican because I don’t want to get in a party and believe everything they do. Sanders was independent and he could see other ideologies without being biased of his own politics. He later decided to be a democrat so he can be in a

Bernie Sanders: The Hero America Deserves, But Not the One It Needs If you ask any college student who they would vote for in the upcoming election, an overwhelming response would be for Senator Bernie Sanders. The self-proclaimed candidate of the working class has rallied support among the democratic youth by promising what every college student wants to hear: free tuition at public colleges and universities. The egalitarian crusader of equal education has made this one of his main platforms in
