What struck me about the Sanders Baltimore speech wasn't that he refused to answer an ISIS question

...it was that he refused to answer -any- question.

I've watched the video that Sanders supporters keep posting. After he gave his speech he started to walk away. It appears he wasn't planning to engage with the press at all. Someone asked a question (about ISIS) as he was leaving, and he responded. But after his rejoinder, he continued to walk away. He could have stayed and answered more questions, he COULD have shown control and asked if anyone had questions about the Baltimore situation. He chose not to.

He did not dodge all questions as you implied and please do not blame a video posted by Sander's supporters. You need to find 'the google' for yourself before spouting accusations.

When you limit yourself to edited versions you tend to miss a lot. He answers a number of legitimate questions before the shill tried to interject a zinger into things. Nice try at obfuscation.

proven to be fictional bullshit crafted to smear a Democratic candidate? You have informed us all that you are a Hillary insider, repeatedly. I suggest that your own actions here might be seen as reflecting rather directly on the candidate you claim such direct connections to. When I speak for myself, I'm as I wish but when I dare to represent another I am on my best of the best.

I can't say this is something to be proud of, brook. And knowing that you house campaign staff and attend small gatherings with Hillary, which we know because you have told us this in your pursuit of influence and status here, that makes this sort of attack all the more unseemly. If you ask me.
