He'll need the powers of the Beyonder to get Congress to pass his legislation.
It will be quite the revolution to witness if it happens -- despite all the comments about hating Sanders, I enjoy a good underdog story.

Soledad is the frikkin worst. So many of these black reporters and pundits, and politicians like Meeks falling in line for Trump are disgusting and not even disappointing.
These #resistance types will "resist" so much, they'll take a Rich white right Wing Authoritarian, buying an election over the person who gets more votes.
If Democrats run Bloomberg. The party is done.
Have to wonder if they even acknowledge that Republicans are the ones who won't let "progressive" Democratic legislature go up for a vote.
They keep admitting that Republicans are gonna Republican, but have yet to offer any real solution to the same problem "moderate" Democrats face in Republican opposition -- namely that nothing "progressive" is going to get past a Republican Senate.
Failure to plan is planning to fail.

"'GRIM REAPER' MITCH MCCONNELL ADMITS THERE ARE 395 HOUSE BILLS SITTING IN THE SENATE: 'WE'RE NOT GOING TO PASS THOSE'"
"During a television interview, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said that 395 bills sitting in the Senate are not going to be passed.
On Fox News Friday, anchor Bret Baier asked McConnell if Democrats' statements about those bills were true and whether they could move forward. McConnell confirmed that it was the case, but also said that proposed legislation would be rejected.
"It is true," the senator said. "They've been on full left-wing parade over there, trotting out all of their left-wing solutions that are going to be issues in the fall campaign. They're right. We're not going to pass those."
McConnell's failure to pass many of the bills that are currently in the Senate has been a frequent target for Democrats, earning him the nickname the "Grim Reaper," from House Speaker Nancy Pelosi last December. She has said that bills are sitting in a "legislative graveyard," during this cycle.
Discussing issues such as gun control and raising wages, former South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg said the "trouble is, none of it can get past Mitch McConnell's Senate."
"We have a second thing we better be working hard on and thinking about, and that is: take back the Senate and put Mitch McConnell out of a job," Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren said on the campaign trail Sunday."

The last time I had to involve the police in a situation I called for an ambulance. Because they are trained to calm and de-escalate the situation.
Ambulance and firetruck showed up, fireman called the police to check in on the situation and the situation was handled peacefully.
Politics is not like putting a child to sleep, which is why people are asking how Sanders is going to fulfill his promises.
I know those questions tend to anger you, but they are completely legitimate questions.
That's up there with getting a white friend to drive so you won't get pulled over by the cops for being in the "wrong" neighborhood.
I remember we did that before and they still pulled us over and made us get out while they searched the car for drugs, despite having no probable cause.
Same thing happened when I got pulled over for a tail light infraction -- cop said he smelled weed (he didn't because none existed) and searched the car before writing me a ticket for a tail light that was still working when he drove off.
