The fact Bernie hasn’t been able to enact more of his vision as a Senator doesn’t say so much about him as it says about the Senate. It’s why he needs the power of the presidency; it will give him the authority to actualize possibilities he and so many of us long for.

No, it won’t. The Congress makes law in the U.S. You know this.

Wait. Congress passes laws. As President he will be able to makes some changes via executive order, only to be revoked by the next President. We need 50 Bernie's in the Senate and 230 in the House to actualize possibilities he and so many of us long for.

Because Presidents totally do not have to contend with Congress at all.

Genuine question, not just being a smart ass: Is the fact that he couldn't get things through Senate an indication that it will be the same when he is President? I'm still looking at everything to decide who I'll support.
