He is serving his second term in the U.S. Senate after winning re-election in 2012 with 71 percent of the vote. Sanders previously served as mayor of Vermont’s largest city for eight years before defeating an incumbent Republican to be the sole congressperson for the state in the U.S. House of Representatives. He lives in Burlington, Vermont with his wife Jane and has four children and seven grandchildren. Bernard “Bernie” Sanders was born in Brooklyn, New York, to immigrant parents and grew up in a small, rent-controlled apartment. His father came to the United States from Poland at the age of 17 without much money or a formal education. While attending the University of Chicago, a 20-year-old Sanders led students in a multi-week sit-in to oppose segregation in off-campus housing owned by the university as a Congress of Racial Equality (CORE) officer. In August of 1963, Sanders took an overnight bus as an organizer for the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee to hear Martin Luther King Jr.’s historic “I Have a Dream” speech firsthand at the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom. After graduation, Bernie moved to Vermont where he worked as a carpenter and documentary filmmaker. In 1981, he was elected as mayor of Burlington as an Independent by a mere 10 votes, shocking the city’s political establishment by defeating a six-term, local machine mayor. In 1983, Bernie was re-elected by a 21 point margin with a record amount of voter turnout. Under his administration, the city made major strides in affordable housing, progressive taxation, environmental protection, child care, women’s rights, youth programs and the arts. In 1990, Sanders was elected to the House of Representatives as the first Independent in 40 years and joined the Democratic caucus. He was re-elected for eight terms, during which he voted against the deregulation of Wall Street, the Patriot Act, and the invasion of Iraq. In 2006, Sanders defeated the richest man in Vermont to win a seat in the U.S. Senate as an Independent. Known as a “practical and successful legislator,” Sanders served as chairman of the Committee on Veterans’ Affairs where he authored and passed the most significant veteran health care reform bill in recent history. While in the Senate, Sanders has fought tirelessly for working class Americans against the influence of big money in politics. In 2010, he gave an eight-and-a-half hour filibuster-like speech on the Senate floor in opposition to extending Bush-era tax breaks for the wealthy. In 2015, the Democratic leadership tapped Bernie to serve as the caucus’ ranking member of the Senate Budget Committee. Known for his consistency on the issues, Senator Sanders has supported the working class, women, communities of color, and the LGBT community throughout his career. He is an advocate for the environment, unions, and immigrants. He voted against Keystone XL, opposes the Trans-Pacific Partnership deal, wants to expand the Voting Rights Act, and pass the Equal Rights Amendment.

Bernie needs to stay in the race until the contested convention. Right now Im pretty sure that HILLARY and the establishment KNOW that she will be indicted and they want to implement Joe Biden. They will have hard time to do that with Bernie still in the race. DONT GET OUT OF THE RACE BERNIE!

Bernie needs to focus on evil wall street and ignore the buffoonery from black lives matter if he's a serious candidate
-
Sanders has no chance of winning because Americans won't elect a Socialist Jewish president who can't even explain what he'd do about Wall Street. When asked about fighting terrorism, he blubbered "I'd put them all in Gitmo." His ignorance abounds -- same as his followers.

Bernie... the gable was already slammed on those cases which the government agreed to with wall street. Ya see its not wall street it's the government. wall street is a necessary evil part of new world order. They would dismantle You in court. you would then be reaching into the Rothschild account ya see. I get it you believe in something. So do I. please die trying. Don't get me wrong. knock your self out. they are just going to have you chasing your tail.

"The business model of big banks is FRAUD" Do they pay the price for what they do? NO

Sanders is the only candidate that promises to stop the scheme of "To Big to Fail". He is the only who mentions campaign reform, the only who will stand up to the FED. He speaks for the majority of Americans who are fed up with power of banks to define our economy. Shadow banks will have to be accountable for the disaster they are causing, and Bernie will reenact the Glass Steagall Act, contrary to what Clinton would do. The reforms have to be big and bold to go against the banks, to separate risk takers from big bankers. " The reality is that Congress does not regulate Wall St. but Wall St. regulates Congress" Sanders words are TRUE!

Bernie Sanders...the crackpot's jackpot

Bernie Sanders is an embarrassment to any regular, decent civilization.
-
You say "Yes we can!" Hillary says "No we can't and we shouldn't even try!".

This guy is great but the American presidency is bought and paid for. I dont think this guy can get into office and I wouldn't put it past some interests in the industrial-military complex to ensure, one way or another, that he is prevented from taking office should it actually look like he has a chance.

Is there something he is not going to ban or make "for free"? Life told me, there is nothing "free" in life!
