I think that Sanders is the only politician that I actually like. He also seems to genuinely want to help the American people. He has been pushing the same messages for 50+ years, and has been arrested before for marching with the people, so I feel like he's legit. He's also not crazy wealthy like a lot of his colleagues, which tells me that he's more focused on his duties than he is on getting rich.
I think he truly does have a good heart, and I would absolutely vote for him over anyone else.
There was recently a story running around that he used some of his campaign funds to fund his step son through the Sanders Foundation, but it's hard to find non-right wing sources on it, besides maybe this one from the Atlantic. It's not a huge amount of money in the grand theme of things, but it's potentially a small tarnish on his otherwise fairly spotless record.
