The number of declared candidates for the Democrat nomination for president in 2016 is now 2. Vermont senator Bernie Sanders announced his candidacy tonight. Given that Sanders' opponent is Hillary Clinton, I have to say something that I never thought I would ever say: Bernie Sanders is the best choice for president (at least among the Democrats.) Sanders starts out with the handicap that no one knows who he is. In fact, most people probably think he is related to Colonel Sanders of Kentucky Fried Chicken fame. Sanders ran for the senate in Vermont as a self proclaimed "socialist independent". The last thing that America needs is a socialist in office after president Obama. Still, perhaps the most important quality that a president needs is the ability to speak to the people and have them believe what the president says. With Hillary, any chance for trust has been destroyed. No one with any common sense could ever believe her.
