(10,820 posts)Okay. That made me laugh.
I think one of the problems Sanders has in his 2020 run is he sounds exactly the way he did in 2016--same vague answers and/or talking around the questions. It's not as if the Senator from Vermont hasn't had time to prepare for a second go-around. But really, not to be able to answer something as obvious as white nationalism after all the incidents we seen blasted in the press is frankly, unforgivable. I don't know whether he didn't hear the question fully or misinterpreted what was being asked. But answering with "I marched with MLK" made it sound as if he took the question personally and responded defensively. No one was suggesting he was a white terrorist/nationalist for God's sake. Or is he afraid of ticking off the white base that the Trumpster bamboozled?
Whatever. Just not a good look at an important forum.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
