Sen. Bernie Sanders in need of sage advice!

I watched Senator Sanders' campaign speech last night, really closely; and I discerned he's in need of sound advice!  He's made plenty of mistakes, but he's got a lot of good points he's making against the political system; and that's good and very needed.  Let me point out his egregious mistakes I noted from listening to his speech.

Mistake #1:  Socialism isn't the answer!
By advocating socialism, Senator Sanders would be granting to the very wealthy and the middle class, etc. governmental benefits for which they already have the financial ability to pay.   I think the LA County Hospitals have it right:  if a patient has the ability to meet the financial obligations to pay for his care, then he should be charged; but the very poor are not charged.  (At least, that was what I experienced when living in LA some years ago.)  Currently, Sweden can't afford its socialized medicine program, nor can Denmark; but really all of Europe suffers from paying for medical costs incurred by those who can afford to pay their own medical bills or for insurance to cover.  Government can merely provide a safety net for the poverty-stricken and those who would otherwise become poverty-stricken.  The right for which Sanders argues is that of receiving medical care as needed, not for covering all the medical costs for the care received.

Mistake #2:  Senator Sanders is in with the crowd of politicians he wants to reform; and is part of the system he wants to radically correct.  He is appealing to these by mistake.
Of course, he's right to present his case to the American people.  But his appeal is in the field of 'meta-politics.'   There are institutes all around Washington, DC involved in meta-politics.  For one, I've always admired the Cato Institute.  It oversees and monitors those politicians in the Conservative Movement and champions its cause by keeping politicians of that persuasion focused on conservative principles whenever it detects deviance on the part of some political members.
The point is, Senator Sanders needs some advocacy group on his side, some universities and philanthropic organizations to back his organization.  It is not just that he is running for President, but that the views he espouses must become part and parcel of the fabric of the country through Congressional legislation and constant oversight of the political system.  His "revolution" goes far beyond the 2016 election cycle.

Mistake #3:  Senator Sanders may be deluded into thinking the US political system is taking his candidacy for President seriously.  It's not just his age; it's his ideas. To try reform from within, may be mistake #3.

Anyway, don't shut up, Senator Sanders and don't yield!   Hooray for you!
