I think that being president gives you more levers.

But along these lines, even a moderate like Obama can't get anything done with these Republicans. I don't think HRC will have any more luck than O. So on this measure, I don't see much of a difference between Sanders and Clinton.

Sanders has a tough time turning his socialist visions into reality

Sen. Bernard Sanders‘ promises of a democratic socialist revolution have enthralled liberal voters this campaign season, but the Vermont independent’s legislative record shows he has had a tough time turning his progressive vision into reality.

During his quarter-century in Congress, Mr. Sanders has been the chief sponsor of just three bills that were signed into law: two renaming U.S. Postal Service offices in his home state of Vermont and one that increased the annual cost-of-living raise for veterans’ benefits, which he secured as chairman of the Senate Veterans’ Affairs Committee in 2013.
