Oh, my. The Wall Street Journal says, "It’s time to take Bernie Sanders seriously." [View all]

It’s time to take Bernie Sanders seriously. The Vermont Senator is leading in Iowa and New Hampshire and in Sunday’s debate he sounded for the first time like a candidate who thinks he can win. He still isn’t the favorite against the Clinton machine, but it’s no longer impossible to imagine the 74-year-old socialist as the Democratic nominee.

Note to WSJ: He's a DEMOCRATIC socialist.
