Good for Bernie. :)

It pays to have been on the right side of history.

Sanders trails Clinton by 6 points in New Hampshire

This makes me happy but it's important to remember that NH is right next door to Sanders' home state of Vermont so they know him well and may evenb regard him as sort of a "favorite Step-son".

I think he's doing well in Iowa as well.....far from home and the left....

I don't agree with Sanders on many things, but I like him - you at least know where he stands.

Unfortunately, Congress (both parties) would chew him up if he made it to the WH.

I don't think the Democrats would give him all that much trouble but if, as is likely, Congress remains in Republican hands (I won't say Republican control), any Democratic president will get the Obama treatment.

Interesting to see the Dems going for the seniors this time. I always thought it was smart of them to put out young candidates. I've often wondered why the GOP never tried the same strategy.

Everyone always complains about gridlock - this is the way our system was designed - I marvel at the genius of it. I prefer an executive branch of one party and a Congress held by another.

It is contentious, argumentative, and infuriatingly slow - but it is exactly that nerve grinding, snail's pace process that allows all sides to be heard (ad nauseam at times) and no policies that will affect the lives of millions to be made with undue haste in an arbitrary fashion.

It demands intelligent, driven people to make it work well - Bill Clinton and a Republican Congress could barely stand the sight of each other, but put that aside and passed a great many bills and balanced the budget.

Ayup. Ye olde three legged milking stool. Pssssst, we're going to flip the Senate in '16. :)
