JUSTIN BAMBERG, SOUTH CAROLINA STATE REPRESENTATIVE (D) SUPPORTS *BERNIE, DROPS CLINTON

South Carolina Legislator Justin Bamberg explains why he switched support to Bernie Sanders from Clinton. He likes that Bernie is bold, passionate and not status quo. Also that he's honest, trustworthy and because of his healthcare plan which is important for all, particularly in rural areas where services are more limited and require longer distances to locate.
Bamberg also represented the family of police-shooting victim Walter Scott.

Bravo Palmetto State!

He seemed awkward and uncomfortable on morning trying to explain why Clinton is better choice for low-income Americans.
Whatever you make of the Clintons, they are not progressive. Bill de Blasio hurt his brand. And it might be too late for him to switch sides now.

the crying woman, just wanted to talk about H's experience, she can get things done, her healthcare attempts of the 90s (?), etc., and the same when they asked him about her a second time. Maybe he wasn't expecting the video piece, but even so he seemed very cold. A couple of his constituents here really blasted him about this. What little I've seen of him, in manner he seems fairly gruff, during press conferences, on PBS. And I dislike slick, fako politicians and he has a big job but..
