Unless 'giving the people real hope for the first time in many many years'
is a reason to vote against him, I got... nuthin.'

(2,900 posts)surrounding Sec. Clinton, by ignoring them. And for the same reasons! They aren't real. I've heard Sen. Sanders say so. But you apparently haven't.
Bubzer
(4,211 posts)Just because Bernie is focusing on his message rather than focusing on pointing out her flaws, doesn't mean they don't exist. And, you're mistaken about Bernie thinking they aren't real... for example, Bernie said he's tired about hearing about Hillary's e-mails... he also clarified that the investigation needs to continue... not really supportive of your claim he thinks they're not real.
But, hey, I'm a charitable sort... you go ahead and find where Bernie says he believes all those issues, many of which are confirmed by the way, are not real, and I'll say unequivocally that you're right!
The usual reasonable requirements apply;
No fly-by-night websites,
no blogs (especially independent ones),
nothing you wouldn't accept from a Bernie supporter (so no drudge or fox, etc.),
and no opinion pieces... regardless of where they come from.
Last but not least, this is a non-transferable, exclusive to you, offer.
Meet those requirements and I'll say it loud and proud that you're right!
Heck, I might even make a whole separate OP for it.
So, how about it? Up to the challenge?

(2,900 posts)What are you trying to say? Don't be afraid of plainly speaking what you see as the truth. Don't hide it in cryptic sarcasm such as the OP. Say it. It will then be out there for other people to see and value. Or not.
Under no circumstances will I vote for Sen. Sanders in the primary. I don't like his politics, I don't like his platform (such as it is), I don't like his supporters, I don't like his manner of speaking, I don't like what he has to say, nor the way he says it. He's never been a team player, he's a college grad, slightly nutty gadfly who is in way over his head. He's never worked for the democratic party and his pretending to be a team player is huge phoniness.
If he gets the nomination, which is certainly possible, then I'll vote for him. But this loser wasn't even a registered Democrat until recently. And enough phoniness about Vermont not allowing it. Sen. Leahy, the senior senator from Vermont has been a proud Democrat his whole career.
Why has Sanders only recently joined the Democratic Party. Why not a proud Democrat like Leahy? I'll tell you why. He is not a Democrat. He is a socialist and was a member of the Socialist Workers Party. Read up. He's a Trotskyite. A commie. He is less electable in the general election than any other candidate that either party could put forward. He is the least electable candidate of all those running. Ben Carson would beat the snot out of him. He would carry only Vermont in the general election, and maybe not that.
