DEM 2016 Sanders

FILE - In this Aug. 11, 1991 file photo, Rep. Bernard Sanders, I-Vt. is seen on Capitol Hill in Washington in the House Banking Committee room. Sanders is the first member of the House in more than 50 years not to be affiliated with either the Republican or Democratic caucuses. Once a democratic socialist, always a democratic socialist. Once a scold of big money in politics, still a scold. No one can accuse Sanders of flip-flopping over his four decades in public life. Rock steady, he’s inhabited the same ideological corner from which he now takes on Hillary Rodham Clinton in an improbable quest for the Democratic presidential nomination.
