Democratic Trump equivalent?

[Progressive]

Who conceivably could be a Trump equivalent for the Democrats? I.e., someone who holds highly controversial positions and, if nominated, could fail to secure endorsements from key members of the party i.e. past presidents?

Dennis Kucinich? Al Sharpton?

It would have to be a blue-dog and theres almost none left to nominate.

Would it though? I feel like it would have to be someone who was able to get a palpable part of the base?

[Progressive]

Somebody who gets support from the extremist end of their party? Somebody who is an outsider, and attacks his opponents for not being pure enough? Somebody not very popular with minorities? Somebody who promises the moon to his supporters, without any real plan to achieve his goals? Someone who is very anti-trade?

You already know his name. It's Bernie Sanders.

I've been for Hillary since before she even announced but I mean someone so implausible like Trump...I just don't know if we have people like that

Alan Grayson
Barbara Lee
Ernie Chambers
Charles Barron

I could see Charles Barron fitting this mold. I think Bill Maher or Michael Moore would be a good example of someone---maybe Grayson or Jackson
