Bernie Sanders I can beat the Donald because 'love trumps hatred'

Bernard "Bernie" Sanders (born September 8, 1941) is an American politician, serving as the junior United States Senator from Vermont since 2007. Sanders is the longest-serving independent in U.S. congressional history. He has always caucused with the Democratic Party, which has entitled him to committee assignments and at times given Democrats a majority. Sanders became the ranking minority member on the Senate Budget Committee in January 2015; he had previously served for two years as chair of the Senate Veterans' Affairs Committee. He publicly identified as a Democrat during his campaign for the party's 2016 Presidential nomination, but has announced he will return to the Senate as an independent.[3] A self-described democratic socialist, Sanders is pro-labor and emphasizes reversing economic inequality.[4][5] Many scholars consider his views to be more in line with social democracy and New Deal-style American progressivism than democratic socialism.
