(95,247 posts)Do you imagine the reference is solely to some silly thing like 'macho' behavior or sexual potency? That is a nonesensical view of what makes a man. A politician's character is certainly part of a sensible voter's assessment of him. When electing a man to office, what a voter says is that he or she trusts his judgement and his character to meet whatever contingencies the future may place before us. My view of Sanders is that neither his judgement nor his character may be relied on, and that view is based on viewing him as a public figure for years, and looking into both his record, and his own evasive descriptions of his past. To say I think little of him as a man is a convenient and common short means of expressing this conclusion. Whether you like it or not does not concern me.

"When things are not called by their right names, what is said cannot make sense. When what is said does not make sense, what is planned cannot succeed. When plans do not succeed, people become uneasy. When people are uneasy, punishments do not fit crimes. When punishments do not fit crimes, people cannot know where to put hand or foot."
