With Bernie Sanders entering into the Democratic Primary, there's a lot of talk about how he won't make it through the primary. That's kind of the point. He's a self declared socialist, and I would agree, plus he has openly declared he will not accept funding from big money for his campaign. This is a breath of fresh air in the toxic, money filled world of Washington. His liberal ideology will also be critical in pulling Hillary away from the center, to a brand of liberalism needed in the 21st century.
Since Bill Clinton the Democratic Party has arguably lost its flame, running on being less crazy then their far right opponents. What the Democrats need is a solid platform that will really excite the base. Bernie Sanders might just be able to help solidify the Democrats in a more modern position that will get millenials and minorities excited to vote not just having them half heartedly choose to vote because its better than the republicans.
I really hope to see a few exciting debates between Bernie and Hillary, and I really hope to see a more Liberal Hillary coming out of the primary.
