It's the same problem everybody at the top faces (whatever that top may be). There are rules and limitations for everybody.

...I know a lot of them; I'm not sure they meet your exacting ideological requirements.

You aren't a supporter anyway and will gleefully being eating popcorn if that, indeed, happens.

But thank you for holding the vision of him winning the White House. We'll take it from here.

Sanders Presidency on day one. I don't have much time but do think I'm correct about this being a difference. I think Sanders would surround himself with and appoint much different people than we are use to seeing. But would that be effective? Either way I think it is a difference we would see and would make for a fun conversation.

And yes, he would be under the bus in very short order but only with a small group.
