1. Those who favor the TPP probably don't like his comments on that topic in general

2. Well, not me anyway.

I've no complaints.

And what I like, the more I hear is that he is authentic...my gut tells me that. I don't feel that I have to worry about him launching a hate campaign against Americans (Pukes and Baggers) nor that he will let the Wall Street Banksters steal every shilling I have...the list of concerns about having Bernie in charge, doesn't exist for me.

Other candidates on both sides...well many terrify me and others it seems that they will be the same-old-same-old.

We're running out of time for True Change.

Are you taking a poll?
As far as Bernie, no he has never said anything I disagreed with.

4. When he says"my republican friends"

Misleading because in truth, he has no republican friends. That's why I like him.

Go Bernie!

5. interesting that you used "like" in the Bernie thread, and "agree with" in the Hillary thread.

Intentional? Just curious.

I find far too much use of the word "like" in politics - it is kind of like "trust" - overused. Few of us actually know the politicians we discuss, so I can't say if I like them or not. All I can do is agree or disagree with their policies - or how they state them (because, of course, presidents can suggest lots, but can't get everything they wish to get done, done).

6. Only one subject on which I disagree

But he is the only candidate that has walked the walk, voted the vote, never had to back track on support for women, people of color, minorities, the LGBT community, immigration, war and peace, spying, equality, torture, war crimes, privatization of so many things, unequal and ridiculous incarceration rates, education, taxes, etc etc etc etc etc etc

#Bernie2016!

9. I can't think of anything that Bernie has said that I disagree with so far.

But I don't expect to agree with him on each and every issue 100% of the time. And for that matter there is probably no perfect candidate with whom I will agree 100% of the time. I am supporting Bernie because he is a candidate with honesty and character and he cannot be bought. And yes I will probably agree with him at least most of the time.
