To declare non-belief in Gawd would be a death knell for any American running for office. At least Bernie is the only one I've heard talking reality on jobs, the economy, the war game, and the wealth gap. Of course, he may well be playing the usual game of telling voters what they want to hear, and, once elected, it's business as usual. Obama made nice speeches....

Agreed with you totally on unelectability of an atheist in the U.S. Unless it's for city council in Berkeley or something.
I don't see someone who admits they're a socialist getting elected president tho, either. That dog don't hunt with the vast majority of American voters, no matter how much sense it makes to American socialists. It's even too extreme for the MSM, which is why they bury coverage of mr. Sanders. If he were to somehow win the nomination, he would be marginalized by both the dem party and the media lapdogs.
Don't get me wrong. I hope he wins his party's nomination. I completely disagree ideologically with practically everything he says, but I think he's a good man and fairly apolitical. He has the courage of his convictions and is strong on the second amendment.
If America wants him, then I'd be cool with having an actual decent human being as president for once. There are so many worse options.
I still predict it will be the Donald.
