    Seems sound, but just watching his victory speech in New Hampshire I see he's made one major ****-up. Referred to the bankers and Wall Street destroying the economy in 2008: well the Mail and the Sun (and BBC Salford too, for that matter) said it was Gordon Brown and Alastair Darling.

    ****ing Commie.

    Does it matter? I don't know much about Sanders or how important New Hampshire primary is, but we'll still probably end up with americans voting between Trump or Hilary... which is a worrying choice for the rest of the world.

    I'm hoping Bill can still have an influence over the Mrs.

    Our equivalent of Trump, namely Alan Sugar, would make a better leader than that fckwit. And probably better than half our politicians too.

    The longer the GOP establishment candidates keep splitting the majority vote..the more momentum the mad wig will gain.

    Sanders describes himself as socialist...evil word in yank land so I predict Clinton to squeak it.

    The setup for the crisis was indirectly the repealing of Glass-Steagall by the Clinton administration, which lead to deregulation based on the promise of banks to "regulate themselves".

    I like Sanders, not because of his socialist leanings (which I like, but am suspicious of his sincerity) but because of the idea he represents. That Americans are FINALLY starting to wake up to the fact that year in year out their candidates are carefully selected to promote the status quo. Two sides of the same coin. I don't believe he will really be as effective as he promises, but he's shaken a sleeping populace into at the very least scratching their heads and going, hang on, Clinton or Cruz would be 4/8 years of the same ****.

    No at best he will be locked out of one house but..... it stops sabre rattling and hawkish behaviour and another 4 years or relative inaction on everything.
