Sanders situation. He doesn't do his homework, or read beyond the Headline.

3. See, he does his homework and reads beyond the headlines.

So, thanks for the perfect example of swift boating. You took his strengths, lied and made them the opposite.

You do your candidate proud.

6. No. Simply because he responds very quickly

to lies and innuendo.

The only reason we even have the term "swiftboating" is that Kerry let the lies about his Vietnam service go unanswered for far too long. Weeks, I'm thinking. However long it was, by the time he responded it was too late. A lot of people believed the lie.

7. They will try though

8. Oh, yes. They will try. They've been trying.

But it doesn't work with him, because he responds immediately.
