I want to elect the candidate that I feel has the best vision for the direction I want the country to go in.

I care little about party affiliation, past or present, nor who one supported in the past.

I am voting for Bernie Sanders.

elevating Party identity over policy and integrity.

I have nothing but disdain for such a mindset.

I honestly wouldn't care if he were called a Dem, a Repub, a Green or if he were from the Martian party. He's my candidate.

Nothing has come up about his votes against certain legislation protecting children and making stiffer sentences for child pornographers. Nothing about his vote against the
Amber Alert. No questions ever about the votes he actually did make or voted against. Nothing about his early personal life. But Hillary has been taken to task for her life since coming out of diapers.
