... there's a flurry of chatter from his base and they love it! But then when other start to actually take a careful look at what was said (or proposed, or criticized, or attacked, or insulted, or demeaned, or marginalized, or ridiculed) then people aren't as impressed with the ideas or policy.

This can clearly be seen whenever Bernie is forced to talk about foreign policy. It's obviously uncomfortable with the topic and does his best to give a "bumper sticker" response ("ISIS BAD! GO USA!&quot that sounds okay ... until you compare it with what Hillary says.

By the way, I'm still hoping to hear or read a response from Bernie's campaign regarding the list of foreign policy advisors ... particularly the one who's never met him (shook hands with him once?) and actually supports Hillary.

#BernieSanders is wrong.
You can be whatever you want to be.
You can refuse to be a poster child for any one group.

The more facts I learned about Hillary.. the more I liked her and now I know what a great POTUS she'll be. Prez O wouldn't want just anybody anyway.

we'll get a reputation for not supporting murderous barbaric tyrants and supporting democracy and self-determination.

It's a work in 'progress.' Kind of new for us.
