been discussing his exclusiveness of social issues. during that time media has asked him to come out with discussion of social issues. sanders adamently refused and dug in heals. and only recently touched it because of the second in your face, of blm.

that being said, watching and listening, i am think sanders still has not learned. i am thinking sanders might have an ego. that he might be that stubborn. seeing how he hired blacks to address black issues with his campaign, only to throw the black man under the bus the other day. refusing to acknowledge an apology for not getting together with blm sooner. such an insignificant thing to apologize for, an appropriate apology, and sanders couldnt handle it

the comment he made on meet the press asking about his campaign crowds, he stated

we reach out to working class and middle class

i am thinking he wont walk too far from his script.
