CNN veteran Bob Franken analyzes Bernie Sanders as a left leaning challenger to Hillary Clinton and Martin O’Malley. The Vermont senator, age 73, campaigns on ultraliberal reforms, a $1,000,000 tax hike for the rich, single payer health care, free public college, and anti establishment rhetoric. He trails Clinton in polls but seeks to redefine the Democratic race as a revolution against the top have protests from both major parties.
