For me, Bernie would be a revolutionary President not because of gender or ethnicity, but because he would be the first to actually care about citizens.
I would be honored to address this man as "Mr. President." I've followed Mr. Sanders career for years and I'm completely confident that he is the best man to lead this country to a bright future. In fact, he is the only man to lead.
Elizabeth could be Vice President. We need a real leader who will move this country to be the best it can be. Bernie is that person. We need a real choice for a change. AND, we need to work hard to make it happen
I would love to see Sanders-Warren on the ballot, however I am hesitant to believe that our nation is ready for such a progressive duo. A man can dream, though!
Zachary Braun That hesitance, however slight, adds up to create the sort of doubt that keeps people like Bernie Sanders from becoming the president. We've got to get past that; if you believe in Sen. Sanders, have some conviction. I live in one of the deepest red states in the country, but I'm going to be advocating for a serious candidate like Bernie Sanders all the same. The current situation is, to say the least, completely unsustainable.
All true. If Sen. Sanders does ever decide to run, I would support him with my entire being, no doubt. The hesitation is on whether the country as a whole would elect him. I'd vote for, campaign, and volunteer for him; but would our nation as a whole do the same? America is a deeply conservative place.
+Christopher “Chris” Martin I think that was his point...a non practicing Jew is a better christian than 90% of the Christians in this country who fall right into line with the greed and exploitation and hypocrisy that goes on in America.
Candide Thirtythree where did you get that from?dont you think you are generalizing a bit much?jews are people like anyone, some are good people and some , not so much.
Christopher Martin I have been a fan of his for years, I have read everything about him that I could find. He is culturally Jewish, not an overly religious one like some.
Candide Thirtythree I don't think he has any affiliation at all. He might even be an atheist/agnostic...but he is a great candidate, yes. I agree. I just worry that he will alienate the moderates in this country. You can NOT win without them.
Your interpretation of The Pope is correct. Please run for President, Bernie, no matter what ! Most people agree with you and the Pope. It is what it is, so do the right thing and run for President. Make the world a better place, it is your duty and obligation.
My friend who's a macroeconomist with an MBA said that almost every time the stock market drops it's "bc they brought it on themselves being irresponsible and spending money as if they're going to die within the next 5 minutes." He has almost zero tolerance for their whining. He tells them to "set it to f'n music next time you tell me." He's from NYC. He almost always says what he feels. It's kind of startling when you first hear him talk and you're NOT from NYC.
Mulla Nasrudin true to the first comment, but I'm not impressed that a leader of a religion is deciding to face the truth (but he still doesn't manage to do so, he still carries whacky views- condescending views towards atheists). It's like an overweight person trying to lose weight and getting attention for trying to become something he was supposed to be. We should not reward people for doing what they were supposed to be doing; we should reward people if they go beyond what they are supposed to be doing. Otherwise, you are just bringing everything down to their level.
Sage Mantis Nonetheless, there is nothing wrong with comparing him to former Popes and recognizing that he has been very different, very inclusive and has certainly spoken in a different manner on homosexuality, and to a degree, on birth control, saying "don't breed like rabbits" After visiting the Philippines.
Half-Nerd Half-Something Else You got it! Conservatives will never come to this channel even to troll because Fix News has convinced them that they would catch the socialism if they even listen to Bernie Sanders.
Half-Nerd Half-Something Else Probably that theft is not a moral answer to suffering. Then again I'm Agnostic, but politics thrives on generalizations.
Candide Thirtythree Taxation is theft. Theres no way around that fact. Also the government steals the value of our dollar via a de facto inflation tax. I think people need to take a long hard look at policies that influence wealth inequality, in which people wrongly blame the economic system, and not the political system.
All right, I love to hear your solutions dear Bernie. Its great to expose the hard-working people to the truth. At the same time need to hear WHO IS GOING TO BE IN YOUR TEAM and HOW ARE YOU GOING TO CHANGE? Concrete steps, how we can make the world a better place? Solutions please.
I LOVE BERNIE SANDERS!!! This is by far one of his best speeches, not to mention his filibuster or "the struggle continues" in Santa Monica on June 7, 2016. BERNIE, I'm with you all the way to the convention in Philly and wherever you go in life! BERNIE 2016! BERNIE 2020! Still Sanders! Proud to be in your revolution! :)
Who VOTED for BOEHNER to be the Speaker? I used to be fully Republican and I would have picked Steve Chabot, but I guess he's too quiet to do the work? He's not a bully anyway. Still...I would have chosen the one before him, the one my doctor husband hated (Newt Gingrich), before I picked BOEHNER to act as Speaker of the House. Who PICKED Boehner?
I don't care if the Vatican's corrupt, so is Boehner. He's going to need paramedics one of these days, and I hope he finds out certain things that he won't know now but will after he does. The only reason I would save his life is called 'The Duty to Act' tenet. He looks down his crooked nose at first responders, thinking the way Mitt Romney put into words during his campaign speech of 2012 - that lost my vote forever bc I'm a first responder.
Economic break down is a result of knowledge of the derivation of commodities.....We bank off the poor....That is not a sustainable survival mechanism. The blue-collar has never caught up to the elite.....because of the poverty level. Poverty in the U.S. is sad.
Sir Bernie Sanders, I cannot believe you are so happy about Pope francis speaking to join section of congress!! You study history Sir!!John Wyclif, John Huss, Tyndale, Martin Luther and another great defendant of religious liberty Roger Williams!!!! it is true, you may disagree with John Boehner in many things But after your speech, it is obvious you both agree in one thing , the papacy desire to destroy the legacy of protestanism!!
The pope is allowed to speak in congress because he says some things you like? Its totally inappropriate to have a foreign religious leader preach to our congress.
That's what I was wondering too. Technology and progress yet we work more and can afford less. EFFIN EFFIN &$&?!? 😡😡. They better get ready for a revolution.
i come from the Netherlands i was right about this pope he disappointed the cathoholic church really the truth is that christ is rising and the heart for Israël

Bernie Sanders is such an INCREDIBLE human being! What a rarity that is in the world of politics. He's got my vote! Latinas for Bernie 2016
Go Bernie Go!
Catholics for Bernie Sanders 2016!
Bernie Sanders is a non practicing jew, what'syour point?

I'm an atheist, but I'd be glad if the pope comes and talks, it will sway many religious republicans to really think about their choices
For all those who love Bernie PLEASE remember to VOTE.
sanders 2016!
Dylan Hart Sen. Sanders wins my vote.
WE have to VOTE for BERNIE in the PRIMARIES!!!!
Your interpretation of The Pope is correct. Please run for President, Bernie, no matter what ! Most people agree with you and the Pope. It is what it is, so do the right thing and run for President. Make the world a better place, it is your duty and obligation.
Excellent Speech
Thank You
BERNIE SANDERS IN 2016. GOD BLESS - WORKING PEOPLE.
8 billionaires were not impressed with this speech
I'd like to see this plan in action in the world throughout!

Bernie Sanders for president 2016!!!!
Republicans have no shame, I just pray the pope lays into John Boehner when he addresses the congress.
Ask Unions to endorse Bernie Sanders!
I'm really starting to like this guy!
The timing seems right to say what I have said so often before. Francis is to a Pope, what Bernie Sanders is to a politician.
true
I almost wanna be a Catholic again...well, not really.But Francis is alright in my books.

Can a conservative please tell me what Jesus would say if he really existed about the economic disparity that exist in our world today.

the only theft is the rich stealing from the poor, stealing their labor and their taxes and their lives.

Bernie... You are the man. When 85 people have the same wealth as 3.5 billion, we've got to ask ourselves "Are we doing it right?"
Great that Bernie Sanders is invited by Vatican.
All right, I love to hear your solutions dear Bernie. Its great to expose the hard-working people to the truth. At the same time need to hear WHO IS GOING TO BE IN YOUR TEAM and HOW ARE YOU GOING TO CHANGE? Concrete steps, how we can make the world a better place? Solutions please.
Im not american but thank you Bernie for fighting for justice
im not american but if i was i'd vote for sanders!

I feel like I am hearing the words of a modern Prophet. This is a warning.
I hope he tells them what heathens they are.
"No pressure." What other politician can say such? #RunBernieRun
I don't care if the Vatican's corrupt, so is Boehner. He's going to need paramedics one of these days, and I hope he finds out certain things that he won't know now but will after he does.

Trickle down economics are a reasonable concept to go by.... when you disregard the last 200 years.
Damn Pope Francis is a bad ass

He would make an amazing President. His ideas are profound, but his method of delivery is below par.
Wow! One almost feel like there should be a French style revolution and let the heads roll.
How come the congress seems empty...where is everyone?
wow

I respect Sen. Sanders, but this man is terrible at metaphors. "In other words..." No, you literally just restated the exact same words.
Ask Bernie how mouch he earned ? He is some what right but he should have done this ages ago.
