He is one of the most polarizing politicians in the entire nation--love him or hate him.

He's the longest-standing Independent senator ever--meaning he belongs to neither the Republican or Democratic party--and truly lives up to that, having favorable fans on both sides of the isle.

He loves to throw his hands around when he talks and Donald Trump in particular, seems to drive the guy crazy.

Bernie Sanders has launched a national tour, since Donald Trump returned to the White House, which he has called 'Fighting Oligarchy: Where We Go From Here'. He has drawn massive crowds to cheer on his message that is, widely, very anti-Trump.

It seems that Bernie has a unique draw and following--even Donald Trump himself has said that Bernie Sanders was robbed of a Democratic nomination. While in many ways, the two differ--some conservatives see in Bernie a unique character for freedom and anti-establishment.

Same is the case for Idaho--a 'Red State' that so far, seems to be excited that Bernie is on the way!

Interested? He'll be at the Ford Idaho Center on Monday, April 14th-- doors open at 3:30 p.m. and the event will start around 5:00 p.m.
