list of Bernie's acquaintances through the years, stuff like that. Nothing about the actual issues where Bernie and Hillary differ, of course, but I expect we will be seeing explanations of how war and cluster bombs are GOOD, and losing jobs and wages and local regulations is GOOD, and fracking is GOOD and so on.

Here's the thing - we are constantly reminded that Hillary has already been "vetted", that her dirty laundry is already out there. Yes, it is, especially for people who are not issue-driven, but personality driven. That vetting left a mark, and will leave a mark on newer voters. How that can be considered a plus is beyond me.

Bernie is a good and decent man. He does not parse language. He has consistent views which I find refreshing and he has integrity something I also find refreshing.
The Clintons are trying to throw all sorts of nonsense at him but it is so easily deconstructed and easier on so many of us if people could critically read and understand what is going on
