Ed Klein: Bernie Sanders Is 'Most Fun' Candidate

Bernie Sanders has emerged as the "most fun" presidential candidate to watch on the campaign trail — particularly when compared to Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton, Ed Klein, bestselling author of "Unlikeable: The Problem with Hillary," tells Newsmax TV.

"There's no comparison. In fact, if you even look at all the candidates, even the Republican candidates, who's the most fun? You could say Donald sometimes, but Bernie Sanders is clearly the most," Klein said Friday on "The Steve Malzberg Show."

"They love him, they love him! 'Bernie! Bernie! Bernie!' You know? I mean, I don't agree with a word that he says but I love watching him."

Klein believes that Clinton is likely jolted by the huge cheering crowds at Sanders' recent rallies — his campaign says he drew 27,000 supporters to Washington Square Park in New York City this week.

"What's going through her mind at that time? 'I'm not a very good political candidate, but, oh my God,'" Klein told Malzberg.

While Clinton is still tipped to win Tuesday's Democratic primary in the Empire State, if Sanders pulls an upset "that's an earthquake of 7.2 like they had in Japan yesterday," he said.

Klein's book is published by Regnery.
