“Absolutely, no doubt about it”, the academic and campaigner told the Guardian.

Sanders’ plan is to create a tax on financial transactions in the stock market, fifty cents on every 100 dollars of shares traded, which he hopes would raise the $75 billion a year he needs to pay for this plan. If one uses the margin of error to plus Sanders and minus Clinton, nothing has changed. The former New York US Senator’s favorable/unfavorable split was 46-51.

“We – the undersigned artists, musicians, and cultural leaders of America – are excited to endorse a new vision for our country“, the letter reads. “In other words, her drop was probably inevitable once she made the transition from Secretary of State to candidate for President”.

Bernie Sanders, I-Vermont is unelectable. “And I agree, I think politicians ought to be accountable”. “Muslims feel that their religion is very much a part of your public life and what you do as a public official, and that’s inconsistent with our principles and our Constitution”.

Sanders doesn’t give rousing speeches like Jackson, a lauded orator and formidable challenger to Walter Mondale in 1984 and Michael Dukakis in 1988 and defiant voice of opposition in the era dominated by Ronald Reagan. His staff said that was mostly because of a tight schedule.
