claim integrity, then who was I to argue. I hadn't done any research and as I said, Sanders held no interest for me his three decades in office. He didn't do anything to get my attention.

Then when he stepped in 2015, I researched. It didn't take much before I saw the flaws in claiming the man had integrity. I was seeing chinks in that claim, thru out his history that in fact, he did not have integrity. And he has proven it to me every day since.

Donald Trump must be defeated,” Bernie Sanders insists, “and I will do everything in my power to make that happen.”

6. I ceased being disappointed when I permanently lowered my expectations.
Tue Apr 7, 2020, 05:05 PM
Apr 2020

PLEASE NOTE: Lowing my expectations is NOT the same thing as lowering-my-standards. But, by having low expectations, I always know (or have a good idea of) what will happen. Therefore, I'm not surprised OR disappointed.

History will NOT be kind to Bernie Sanders. The gig is up.

he wasn't talking about those he's urging to get out and Vote.. because ".. dead heat.. " or something?

“Let's be clear: holding this election amid the coronavirus outbreak is dangerous, disregards the guidance of public health experts, and may very well prove deadly.”

Since the GOP'ers on the court put citizens in the position of having to risk their life to vote we might as well make sure their votes are not in vain.

Voting in Wisconsin.. ".. may very well prove deadly.. " to .. ".. this race is a dead heat.. " which by all accounts I've seen is not even Close to a "dead heat".

From telling them how deadly it is to .. ".. it's a dead heat."

The contest has heated the emotions of many, and the chances of one contender have been dead a long time....





"From Bernie’s perspective, dropping out of a race once you have no chance of winning is peculiar behavior that can only be explained by the work of a hidden hand. For most politicians, though, it is actually standard operating procedure. Only Sanders seems to think the normal thing to do once voters have made clear they don’t want to nominate you is to continue campaigning anyway."





"When things are not called by their right names, what is said cannot make sense. When what is said does not make sense, what is planned cannot succeed. When plans do not succeed, people become uneasy. When people are uneasy, punishments do not fit crimes. When punishments do not fit crimes, people cannot know where to put hand or foot."
