English Summary/英文概要： Bernie Sanders puzzles the establishment. A self-identified socialist, long affiliated with neither the Democratic no Republican parties, from the tiny state of Vermont, Sanders has been relentlessly marginalized and ridiculed by the national political power brokers and the media that supports them.
And yet here he is, barely a month into his campaign against the inevitable Hillary Rodham Clinton, and he is already posting a credible threat to her in Iowa and New Hampshire, the two first, very important, primary contests. Not to mention he s doing it on a shoestring budget.
Who is Bernie Sanders? What accounts for his seemingly overnight rise from marginal figure to national player?
The Sanders story is about the credibility that, ironically, derives from years of marginalization. As progressives and liberals who once formed the base of the Democratic Party look for an alternative to Clinton s corporate-friendly, war-mongering policies, Sanders is perfectly positioned to step into the vacuum.
Ted Rall s BERNIE explores the personal and political development of a man who threatens to shake up the 2016 presidential campaign, redefine the left wing of the Democratic Party, and, win or lose, set a new benchmark for a revived progressivism within a party that has rejected it for half a century.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： Bernie Sanders让各界权威看不懂。他是个自封的社会主义者，长期既不参与民主党，也不和共和党合作。他来自一个小地方Vermont，一直被国家政权的掌握者们以及支持他们的媒体无情地边缘化。
但是他还是站起来了。还有不到一个月，他将和希拉里对决，而且他已经依靠相当有限的经费在爱荷华州和新罕布什尔州成功地成为了希拉里的劲敌。
Bernie Sanders究竟是何许人也？是什么使他一夜之间从边缘人物崛起成为追逐国家大权的候选人？
有关Sanders的故事中，读者能看到的是可靠，而这份可靠，非常讽刺地来源于多年被边缘化的待遇。曾经由激进派和自由派组成的民主党如今正在找一个能够取代执行拉拢企业、战争贩子政策的克林顿的候选人，Sanders恰巧就是他们要找的人。
Ted Rall的这本书探讨了这个即将震动2016年总统大选的人的个人生活以及政治发展，重新定义了民主党的左翼。而且无论最终结果如何，他都为这个已经抗拒了复兴半个世纪的党派树立了新的标杆。（LYR）
