It’s always been that way with Sanders. The issues. The issues. Stick to the issues. The rich are too rich. Those with power have too much. The middle class is withering. Inequality is a crisis, and the system is rigged. With Sanders, what you see is what you get, insist the people who know him best — and that’s almost all you get.

It is an effective strategy, because it does two important functions (probably more):

--repetition is key in persuasion.

--it prevents the questioner from deviating from his (Sanders') agenda

I've always said that spouses and children who stay out of the fray are off limits. Former President Clinton will become the fodder for many attacks from the lunatics. Since he can influence people, and always has a political motive, The Big Dog, could become a liability.

"How quaint, dahling."




Bernie Sanders: speaking truth to power longer than many of us have been alive.
