Of all the political developments this year, including the rise of Trump amongst misguided conservatives, the most surprising of all to me has been the success of Bernie Sanders.

Six months ago, the idea of Bernie seriously challenging Hillary was laughable. It was her turn. She’s a woman. Bernie is old, crotchety and a self-proclaimed socialist. Who’s gonna go for that? Apparently, a lot of people.

While I disagree with Bernie Sanders on at least 50% of the issues, there is a big difference between Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton. Sanders is genuine, Clinton is not. Sanders want to do the right thing for the country, whether or not I think his solutions are misguided. Clinton worships money and power to such an extent she is willing to lie, cheat and steal to get it. At the end of the day, voters are picking up on this, and that’s a very good thing.

From the Wall Street Journal:

For the first time, Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders (I., Vt.) has jumped ahead of Hillary Clinton in a poll of New Hampshire voters. The new Franklin Pierce University/Boston Herald poll shows Mr. Sanders leading Mrs. Clinton 44% to 37% among likely Democratic primary voters. Vice President Joe Biden, who has not officially entered the 2016 race, got 9% support. Voters were asked who they would vote for if the Democratic presidential primary were held today. The Democratic primary is February 9, 2016. A poll released a week ago by Gravis Marketing/One America News showed Mrs. Clinton leading Mr. Sanders 43% to 39%.

Pretty incredible for a guy who had zero registered lobbyists fundraising on his behalf.
