Bernie Sanders enters the stage

Alot of political news has been about Hillary Clinton, Jeb Bush, and Ted Cruz; but recently independent Bernie Sanders announced his bid to run. Vermont sen. Bernie Sanders has made headlines for his stand on being openly against NSA spying. The National Journal article quotes him for saying: “Kids will grow up knowing that every damn thing that they do is going to be recorded some place in a file, and I think that will have a very Orwellian and very inhibiting impact on the way we live our lives,”. he has spent time uncovering. what the NSA has the power to do including that they probably have spied on Congress. The article does a great job in explaining his track record against the NSA, and I think that its a strong opening for the candidate. Being able to not only say you’re against something but show how much you’re against it really will help public opinion. quoting Orwell has strong political rhetoric value as well, nobody wants to compare society with 1984. all in all his bid has been officially announced for just over a week, and anyone who can steal the spotlight from the big names is worth keeping a eye on in my book.
