Rick Santorum Thinks Bernie Sanders’ Surge is Because He’s Gonna Legalize Drugs

Sanders ran through his goals to aid the struggling and not, in his words, the powerful and greedy, including a higher minimum wage, family leave, fairer incarceration, and more affordable education and health care.

Mr. Sanders said the pope was “reaching out to people all over the world with an incredibly strong message of social justice, talking about the grotesque levels of wealth and income inequality”. The only candidate out there today who says he is willing to make that happen is Bernie Sanders. Sanders pointed out that he was one of the 81 senators (Iowa’s Chuck Grassley and Joni Ernst were both among them) to pass the Every Child Achieves Act in the Senate in July. In its report on the email, HuffPost concluded it was unclear whether the message would be disseminated to anyone else.

What Sanders would like is to expand existing programs that fit the democratic socialism model.

The next step came In Iowa Saturday, when the pope became a kind of Sanders campaign mascot.

Sanders also told the crowd, “If we do not allow our opponents to divide us up, white against black, straight against gay, man against woman, people born in the United States against people who were not born in the United States, if we stand together and are united there is nothing, nothing, nothing that we cannot accomplish”.

Within two days, the Sanders campaign had raised $1.2 million in grassroots contributions. The way he approaches politics would have found a home in mainstream Democratic politics of the past, such as the New Deal era under Franklin D. Roosevelt and the Great Society of Lyndon B. Johnson. “Bernie’s made me a convert”. “That’s what I want this campaign to be about, and I hope people who support me respect that”. In addition, his name is not Donald Trump.

In fact, this was one of the first times since his announcement that Sanders was explicitly mentioned by Clinton. Bernie Sanders nodded to Newton’s recent history coping with the loss of a Fortune 500 company.

Clinton has been a friend to Latinos for many years. It will remind politicians that we are not a monolithic voting group to be taken for granted. That’s Pope Francis, “Sanders said.

Sanders has managed to pull Clinton to the left on yet another issue.

By the end of the primaries, regardless of who wins, the candidate will either be a true progressive dedicated to combatting inequality, fighting systemic racism, and running a clean campaign, or someone forced to champion a number of progressive causes that she likely would have barely considered otherwise. That’s a shame. His campaign is centered on issues that should resonate with the Latino community. Additionally, Sanders did oppose the War on Drugs four decades ago and he has seen his poll numbers climb at the same time that he has continued to speak out for sensible Drug War reforms. “But if you’re going for a young Latino vote, I think what Sanders did was really big“.
