@LeChatNoire4 @Alasscan_ @NYDailyNews I do not doubt he has some ideas. Would not b appropriate for him 2 reveal details of his platform.

If he gave the real answer, people would fall asleep. Bernie's not the type to give shallow slogans for such serious matters as Israel.

But finally, someone who would be really good at the job!

Imagine, someone who's honest, full of integrity, got it right all along when you look at his record, ready to work for US!

It's mind boggling!

This is incredible!

Your excuse is laughable. Sure, no one expects him to recite a 500-page binder, but we should get a pretty good idea of how he intends to do these things. It is not enough to be honest and sincere. To get it right you need to know how to get it right.

Tricky Dick said he wasn't going to reveal anything until after the election. He had no plan. The war continued.

What has history taught us about ambitious politicians?

Perhaps I misread it, or you miswrote it.

I guess one of us either need some remedial reading or writing courses.

This is not OK. Presidential candidates should at least show an intellectual curiosity, and Sanders has demonstrated that he doesn't have that-- even when it comes to the ONE issue he is running on.

When did we start setting the bar so low?

Clinton is favored to win, but Sanders has been kicking the living fuck out of her lately. It's going to be an interesting couple of weeks.
