Sanders Savages "Billionaire Class"

SOUTH CAROLINA - More so than any other candidate this election cycle, U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders has fashioned himself into a one man opponent to the billionaire class, a message that has resonated with millions nationwide.


Coupling his sudden popularity and national appeal with Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton's email scandal, Sanders has found himself rising in the polls steadily as he turns out record number crowds across the political landscape. 

USA Today had this to report from his latest stop:
Nearly 3,000 people answered Bernie Sanders' call for “political revolution” in Greenville on Friday, greeting the Democratic presidential candidate with repeated loud cheers and sign waving as he railed against “the billionaire class” at the TD Convention Center.
The senator from Vermont drew crowds ten times as big during appearances in major West Coast markets.
Still, his first stop in Greenville was one of the best attended presidential campaign events in the state this election cycle, Democrat or Republican.
The silver-haired populist pointed in the air and waved his hands as he belted out the message of class struggle that has made him the closest rival so far to Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton.
Although emerging as the heartthrob of millennials and progressives, many in the Democrat Party (which Sanders, an Independent, is not apart of) are looking for Vice-President Biden to enter the fray to offer a main stream alternative to the former Secretary of State.
