Sanders Sounds Serious About White House Bid

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) told Meet the Press that he is thinking about running for president in 2016 as either a Democrat or an independent.

Said Sanders: “I think anybody who speaks to the needs of the working class and the middle class of this country and shows the courage to take on the billionaire class, I think that candidate will do pretty well.”

First Read: “He seemed to be leaning toward running as a Democrat (instead of his current status as an independent), but it’s worth asking if that will fly with Democratic voters in a Democratic primary.”
