Yet, Bernie is probably the guy that wants to help them out the most out of all the other candidates.

This goes against nearly everything I have ever said about people running for President, but I get the feeling he isn't looking for the title.

When he started out, I had the impression that he just wanted to use the campaign as a platform for his views, rather than seriously expecting to become President. But I think he's been more successful than he expected to be and now sees victory as a possibly attainable goal.

I think the country is sick of politics as usual. I don't think Trump or Bernie would have a chance in normal years. I think the country as a whole is making a big statement that Washington should be hearing by now. I doubt that they have really gotten the message yet but, are starting to. A Trump or Sanders President I think would make the message a lot clearer. Even then I don't think Washington would get the message because they are politicians bought and paid for.

I think Washington would reject either of those candidates and try to block everything they try to accomplish as Republicans did for Obama. I think both candidates would paint Congress as obstructionists and appeal to America for help. Where that goes is anybody's guess.

I myself am very sick of politics as usual and have lost faith in the system. I am enjoying the Republican Party being at war with itself and I am also enjoying watching Hillary squirm form Bernie's assault. I am proud that America is fighting back against the system they do not trust anymore. I do not want a violent revolution by any means but, welcome America standing up and voting against the establishment politicians. Washington should be getting the message but, they are stubborn.
