Matt Taibbi's article on Bernie Sanders is a must read

I will back any Democrat but I am so pleased that Bernie Sanders is in to keep the focus on the middle class and poor instead of doing what is wanted by the wealthiest.

In my opinion the entire article is a revelation, but this part stuck with me: 

Many of the battles he brought me along to witness, he lost. And no normal politician would be comfortable with the optics of bringing a Rolling Stone reporter to a Rules Committee hearing. 

But Sanders genuinely, sincerely, does not care about optics. He is the rarest of Washington animals, a completely honest person. If he's motivated by anything other than a desire to use his influence to protect people who can't protect themselves, I've never seen it. Bernie Sanders is the kind of person who goes to bed at night thinking about how to increase the heating-oil aid program for the poor. 

This is why his entrance into the 2016 presidential race is a great thing and not a mere footnote to the inevitable coronation of Hillary Clinton as the Democratic nominee. If the press is smart enough to grasp it, his entrance into the race makes for a profound storyline that could force all of us to ask some very uncomfortable questions. 

You know it is articles like this which makes me wish that Bernie Sanders could actually win the nomination over Hillary Clinton and defeat Jeb Bush in the general.

But the truth is he can't.

He is probably the perfect candidate, at the perfect time, but he is hampered by an incredibly imperfect election system.
