Sanders is going to end up like Ron Paul: he'll make a big splash on social media (well, he already did), but he'll crash and burn in the primaries.

There are actually a lot of similarities between Sanders and Paul: they made the splash they made for the same reason (they're honest politicians who put their values before the party line), and they'll crash and burn for the same reason (no support from party elites, most "supporters" are just people who share Facebook posts and don't vote).

Sanders won't get far because the only thing he has to offer is giving away other people's money and the USA is already $20 trillion down that path (more like $150 trillion if you consider the unfunded mandates).

How can we possibly do more when what we are doing now is unsustainable?!
