I'm all for Bernie Saunders ... I like the guy and appreciate him and his message ... but if American progressives are relying on an 85 year old figurehead to lead their movement ... holy hell, America is deeper in the hole than I imagined.

He has a track record of lifting new talent up and getting them elected. I don't think he cares too much for self promoting at this point. He's smart enough to see the risk and also who the hell would want that job at 85 anyway...

A long history of doing the right thing shows truthfulness and conviction.

Some new guy might say all the right words, but with no history, how do you know if he'll turn on you as soon as he's in power?
