Bernie Sanders may be the most unselfish guy on the planet. His world revolves around helping people.

He may not always get it right, but he wants to.
And when he doesn't, he listens, to the PEOPLE.
Not the CORPORATIONS.
And that is why the people are listening to him now.

(62,683 posts)He KNOWS how difficult it is to actually accomplish what one wants, so he knows what he would be in for.
I'm looking forward to his getting more exposure during the debates -- hope more than political junkies tune in.

(62,683 posts)I learned last election that we tend to think everybody knows what we do, and that couldn't be farther from the reality, sadly.
If they did, they'd never elect another Republican again.

(15,558 posts)It's an important distinction between the candidates. Hillary evolves for political expedience, Bernie evolves because it's the right thing to do.

And he will adjust his policies after listening to people who know more about a subject than he does.
And it's ALWAYS about the PEOPLE.

(10,497 posts)He listened to them and agreed that he needed to add the injustice faced by blacks in this country in the criminal justice system and with law enforcement. It wasn't just about economic inequality. He made changes because it was the right thing to do. I know that had he not agreed to what they said he would not have changed. He is about principle, fairness, and equality. It could not be more clear.
He is a national treasure and a true patriot. He deserves our full support and it is for us that he is doing this!

(36,392 posts)If she was to be honest, she'd probably admit that she's felt for thirty years that it was her destiny to be the first woman president. Beyond that, what would four years of her presidency look like? What does she want to get done? None of her supporters can answer these questions either.
