Senator Sanders has never been a lightweight in his political message during any campaign. That message has always brought substantial brevity during his run for office.
His decision to run in 2016 for the presidency was based in the absence of a profound belief in the Middle Class. He started his campaign as a very distant ideological chance as far as most people were concerned. He was not considered a strong contender. As Senator Sanders predicted, his low cost campaign would reach heights of loyalty.

Bernie Sanders is down by just 8 points in New Hampshire (click here) and has gained tremendous momentum in Iowa. If the Vermont senator wins both the Iowa caucus and New Hampshire primary, the odds will favor him getting the Democratic nomination. What was once thought of as a long shot is becoming a reality, primarily because Bernie Sanders has energized his base while Hillary Clinton has been forced to defend against email and foreign donor scandals. However, this isn't the first time in recent history that a challenger to Clinton was once thought of as a long shot.
In 2008, Hillary Clinton finished third in Iowa behind Obama and John Edwards and eventually lost the Democratic nomination to the first African-American elected as president. This eventuality was once described as "the biggest fairy tale I've ever seen" by Bill Clinton, when the former president was asked about Obama's record and chances of winning the presidency. Even Hillary Clinton's "It's 3:00 am" advertisement, described by Harvard Professor of Sociology Orlando Patterson as having a "racist sub-message," couldn't prevent history from taking place and a more progressive electorate from deciding their own destiny at the ballot box....
