The data breach issue proves two things: 1. Almost EVERYBODY trusts Bernie

2. Almost anybody with a brain realizes by taking this thing public BOTH candidates have been harmed



But to my first point, how many politicians would get 95% of the public IMMEDIATELY saying:

"I trust Bernie didnt know, he is an honest man"

Wow, think about that.

Now for all I know Hillary could make a better president BECAUSE she is a better manipulator and negotiator, time will tell.

One thing we ALL can agree on, Chris Christie is a lying asshole and KNEW if not planned Bridgegate and Bernie is an honest man.

1. Well, after the research and his history, I am not so sure. But... If he didnt know about THIS one

either, what does that say.

It seems like the issues in his campaign, attack ads, Super PAC, and others, it is always the same. Didn't know.

How come?

Why does he always get the out.

A vote?

Not significant.

Don't vote on ACA? Meh.

2. I trust him, but

this whole thing also pushed me towards Hillary. Bernie's campaign people do not inspire, and it makes me nervous about his chances in the general. Moreover, him suing the DNC instead of simply cooperating with the DNC, and the way his campaign is using their missteps to play politics against Hillary, does not sit well with me either.

So yes, I trust that he is probably an honest man. But I do not trust his campaign, and I do not trust that he would make an effective president.

I am seeing people with severe hatred of both, scary

It's not his fault some of his campaign folk have a problem with keeping it on the straight and narrow.

5. I trust Sanders as a man.

I don't necessarily trust him to be able to lead our country. To this point he hasn't sold me on that. His teams initial reaction to the most recent issue solidifies my thoughts on the matter.

6. I trust Bernie's high degree of integrity and I trust him as President, he won't back down to anyone

this is exhibited from his actions in immediately filing suit against Schultz's DNC.

Thanks for the thread, randys.

9. Yes, Sanders has good cred in the bank with most Democrats....

...just like Clinton. It's the non-Democrats that are the issue (and loudest) on this board.

11. I think Sanders was set up. After the first time, open door again? They look to see what they are

really looking at, and of course that's not allowed. You trust the DNC to tell you it's all fine, as in the first time. I think the Bernie's guys wanted proof, and wanted to know if things actually worked, that they where looking at, and not just screen shots. Again, I smell a RAT.
