Bernie Sanders
'The Vermont senator shares Warren’s drive to improve prospects for working-class families. His two presidential campaigns have benefited the nation by focusing attention on an economy increasingly rigged to benefit the wealthy at the expense of the worker.
Reservations: While Elizabeth Warren and Sanders are in lockstep on many positions, concerns about Warren’s potential for divisiveness are magnified with Sanders. As a self-identified democratic socialist, someone who has set himself apart from the Democratic Party during his congressional career, let alone breaking bread with Republicans, could he build the consensus needed to govern?
He has routinely opposed trade agreements supported by Iowa’s farmers and manufacturers. His rhetoric is so anti-interventionist that one wonders whether he would recognize times when military action is justified as a deterrent. '
