Bernie Sanders is reshaping the Democratic Party in his image
Sanders’s ideology aside, it would be remarkable for the country to elect its third consecutive octogenarian president after never having previously voted for a commander-in-chief of that age. “I know I look like I’m 30; I am not. And that’s that,” he said.
