Bernie Sanders has had no problem energizing young voters but now he\u2019s picked up an endorsement sure to earn favor with people closer to his own age: television legend Dick Van Dyke.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m Dick Van Dyke and I\u2019m a very enthusiastic supporter of Bernie Sanders,\u201d the \u201cDick Van Dyke Show\u201d star said in a new video released by the Sanders camp Friday. \u201cI don\u2019t think age \u2014 it really doesn\u2019t matter, except for his experience and the years he\u2019s put in.\u201d<\/p>\n
For the record, Sanders is 78 while Van Dyke is 94 and still has all his marbles, as he puts it.<\/p>\n

It just doesn\u2019t make sense to me that he\u2019s not getting my generation. And I want to urge my generation to get out and vote for him, please.\u201d<\/p>\n Van Dyke closed his video by joking, \u201cI think somebody younger, like Bernie, would be a perfect candidate.\u201d<\/p>\n Watch the endorsement video above.<\/p>\n Read original story Bernie Sanders Picks Up Key Endorsement From Dick Van Dyke: \u2018Age \u2026 It Really Doesn\u2019t Matter\u2019 At TheWrap<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
