    Unfortunately, I don’t think that Bernie would have been able to make as much of an impact as he wanted. Congress is more responsible for long term changes than the president and Bernie’s ideals are left of most of the Democratic party, so I don’t think they would have been as cooperative as he/we would have liked.

    Also, if he was elected, we still would have elected the oldest president ever. I’d rather our government wasn’t a retirement home.
