It is enlightening to ponder that no member of the US house or Senate has endorsed Senator Sanders [View all]

Not a single one.

All of his colleagues like him, even the ones on the other side of the isle , so it is not a matter of him being personably unlikeable, as

is the case with the Senator from Canada.


Since it is not his personality that is objectionable, one is drawn to the conclusion that it must be his politics that scare them.

Which is fascinating because poll after poll show that the vast majority of the American people agree with his positions on the issues.

With millions and millions joining Bernie's Movement for Social, Racial and Economic justice, not one of those cowards is willing to

stand with us and him. This shows how out of touch the beltway gang has become and how necessary it is for us to clean house, on

both sides of the isle.
