Bernie announces he is running again, what do you think?

I'm interested in what you Americans have to say about him. Do you want him to win the Democratic Primary and do you think he can? Are other candidates better? Is the age a factor?

I'm British so it's not my party to go to, though I do like what Sanders stands for and would definantely support him were I there. I think it's a shame that the rules prevent a 29-year-old from running as his VP though I hope AOC backs him and features in his campaign.

Sanders is a nice guy and some of his policy is good, but I really thing trying to do free college for all is going to blow up in our faces. Government loans are part of the reason why colleges are so damn bloated as it is; what would even happen if the government started funding higher education for [i]everyone?[/i] Having said that, I agree with him on most issues, and I'd rather have him over Trump any day.

This is really not true.

And we can do free (or at least, sensibly affordable) college. Other nations do.

@BlueVeins It works in Europe. All of his ideas actually and are not even that radical. In Britain he'd be centre left and in Sweden he'd be dead centre.
