the video HillaryMOJO posted so graciously and did not bring out any negatives on him.

It turns me off his candidacy. The video sounded direct and strong and that appeals to some. That's all some candidates have, faux strength, a 'masculine' aspect.

I'm disappointed he has gone negative on Obama and HRC many times. Why not promote is ideals in a singular fashion, if he's right? Is he running against Democrats, not the GOP?

His manager also called Bernie 'crazy.' Now the whole of the DNC is being asked to apologize for the words of one man who doesn't speak for all. That is not fair but it appeals to those who are anti-Hillary, as if they are for the anti-establishment candidate.

Hillary is an anti-establishment candidate, but some prefer CT to what the woman has done with her life, instead.

For that matter, Bernie is pretty much part of the establishment, having voted for the F-35 for jobs for his state (why no outcry about the MICC?), and voted for the first AUMF for Bush to go into Afghanistan (flogging the 'HRC voted for the Iraq War, that's the ultimate offense to ME!' doesn't hold water) and he voted for paying for every Iraq War funding bill:



I have nothing against that, the world isn't perfect and most of us know that. Bernie doesn't go negative, especially vs Hillary.

Ignorance gone to seed is going to destroy this nation. And there are those who are promoting it and have a lot of money invested in destroying us. It is pure profit from their POV, as chaos gives them the opportunity to loot.
