Can North Korea hit the U.S. with a nuclear bomb? It’s not at all clear — partly because of the “isolated” nature of the country’s regime that Sanders cited. It certainly could target U.S. interests in Asia.

Of the 29 Democratic senators to vote for the Iraq War resolution in 2002, six or seven subsequently ran for president: Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton, Chris Dodd, John Edwards, John Kerry, Joe Lieberman, and arguably Evan Bayh (who formed an exploratory committee before the 2008 race). Just one of the 21 Democrats who voted against the resolution would later run for president — Sen. Bob Graham, of Florida, who briefly ran in 2004. (Sanders was in the House in 2002, and did vote against the Iraq War resolution, while Barack Obama was still an Illinois state senator.)
