(3,515 posts)What a lot of people don't understand about Bernie is that he is more interested in talking about the issues, getting information and discussion on the issues out in the public than he really is about winning some office -- even the presidency.
Bernie cares about people.
So do a lot of other politicians, and they are all good.
But Bernie likes to ask questions, discuss and talk about issues.
That is why I like Bernie.
He has his roll to play. And it is an important one. I don't think he cares all that much about who is or is not the president. I think he feels a moral calling to talk to the people about the issues that matter to our country.
That is why he campaigned for Hillary. That is why he is an Independent -- so that he is free to go his own way and talk about the issues without implicating the Democratic Party.
Richard Painter is right. It takes all kinds to make a world. It takes all kinds to make a democracy. There is room for everyone -- almost. Maybe Trump is an exception. In my view, he should have stuck to his tasteless hotels and scamming gamblers. That's where he belongs. Takes all kinds.
