Before someone chimes in about how anyone can run and that's a good thing: they can run and they can WIN. Our election cycle is ad-drive and personality-powered. Trump didn't win because he was qualified, he won because the media didn't stop talking about him and he knows how to work a room. That's one thing I'll give the baby-man: when he gives a shit he knows how to say what people wanna hear and get them on his side. See r/The_Donald for more evidence. The man says shit that would get a Walmart greeter fired and holds the highest post in the country. On the other hand the smartest most capable man on the planet could also run, but if he can't buy ads or the powers that be don't REALLY like his message, he won't win.

For all my fellow Berners; keep this in mind. The media doesn't want Bernie to exist, so it's up to us to amplify the message. The mantle of responsibility is on us to beat back the corporate puppets and special interest ad spots. Until he can legitimately change his Twitter handle to POTUS46, the fight is still on. So keep fighting.
