Maybe Sanders should shake up his campaign, get rid of the nit-wit tweeters and try to get some experienced staffers who know what they're doing.

For all the cash he's hauling in, his consistency in remaining tied for second/third place should be clarion call for his serious supporters, but instead it's just another bumper sticker they're throwing at the wall.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden

He has since then moderated (to the left) his positions, but he started from a center right "new democrat" deficit hawk position. He still favors means testing, and perhaps until recently, raising the retirement age.

If you want honesty, start with being honest about where your candidate is on the issues.

No COLA is a cut in purchasing power. It of course hurts low income people the most. It is heartless.
