I don't watch mainstream media, so maybe he is being ridiculed there, but at this point his candidacy isn't that unusual. In fact, as far as "fringe" candidates go, he's pretty un-fringey.

We live in a fucked up world, where unfortunately the cream doesn't always rise to the top. Ideally, there would be a candidate that had the convictions of Sanders but could also go toe-to-toe with the bad guys of the world and stare them down. Is Bernie this guy? This is a genuine question of mine. Do you think he could elicit fear from our foreign foes? Could he command respect from our allies?

It doesn't do much good to have the greatest military on earth if nobody thinks you'll ever use it. I hate war. I wish it didn't exit, but that's just not the world we live in. What is Bernie's take on utilizing our military force? What is his take on the very real threats that face our nation? I ask this because I genuinely want to know. galen -you seem pretty up on him as a candidate. He seems to have clearly defined domestic policy. What about foreign? Could he be the leader of the free world?
