Richard C. Cook thinks that Bernie Sanders could become the next president: http://www.globalresearch.ca/presidential-campaign-clintons-may-not-win-the-prize-bernie-sanders-could-become-the-next-president/5519809
But could Sanders make any difference?
Obama’s regime was totally different than his campaign messages, just as George W. Bush’s regime was different from his campaign messages. The neoconservatives created the specter of terrorism and successfully used it to create a warfare/police state. The One Percent rakes in the billions of dollars from US financial and military hegemony. These formidable private powers also own Congress. Any president who tried to redress the power imbalance would likely find himself outgunned.
