POTUS 2016: Can a man that doesn't comb his hair win the US Presidency?

But if the democrats put a white man forth as their nominee, he'll have to stand on his merits. They won't be able to play the race or gender card.

I believe if Sanders was their choice, his socialist viewpoint would play quite well with the left.

Yeah, but what about a man with cotton candy spun hair?

The arbiter of all that is good and American HAS SPOKEN! That is all.

"...A Suffolk University poll of likely Democratic primary voters in New Hampshire finds the former secretary of state Clinton garnering 41% of the vote. Fellow Democratic presidential candidate and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vermont) is surprisingly close in second place, grabbing 31%...."

It's a backyard poll. He is bound to get favorable ratings from locals.

He's made the smarter connection between the falling rate of union participation and the shrinking middle class.

but not smart enough to understand the correlation between the rise of the Federal gov't work force and the declining middle class?

Mark My Words - Bernie Sanders is the Democratic Candidate for 2016. He will choose Elizabeth Warren as Vice President.

Elizabeth Warren would easily win the USPresidency, but she is not of the mindset at the current time. Easing into it as VP may be the way to get her there.

Bernie is the equivalent of a penny stock. Remotely possible, but highly unlikely.

not only that, he'll have to down play that he is Jewish to the anti Israel left

otherwise, Obama never combed his hair (and Trump doesn't either)

Sanders seems like a nice enough guy, but I very much doubt that he will get nominated. It will probably be Clinton. But I'd be just as happy with Warren -- in any major government capacity; I really like that woman.

Now if only Trump gets the Republican nomination...can you imagine? The interviews, the debates -- all prime time reality TV at its finest. Even Jon Stewart might decide to stick around a bit longer. And the fact that Trump would never win makes it all the more win-win: it would showcase the intellectual bankruptcy of the political Right in its current form.
