(24,853 posts)108. "Instinctual politicians" PANDER. Bernie Sanders does not. "Instinctual politicians" say what they
THINK most people want to hear in an attempt to get their vote. Bernie Sanders does not. "Instinctual politicians" will even lie in order to get elected, because "instinctual politicians" can convince themselves if a lie is necessary in order to GET the chance to lead, then the end justifies the means.
My gut feeling is MANY lies will be told by "instinctual politicians" between today and the GE. I'm fucking glad you don't think Bernie Sanders is an "instinctual politician". Are you glad Hillary Clinton IS an "instinctual politician"?
