This is Bernie Sander's biggest strength and his biggest advantage.
He is not addicted to either.

(33,688 posts)purely for its own sake out of nothing but naked personal ambition, and the ruthlessness/ethically challenged nature of the tactics she and her supporters are using, calls to mind only one other American politician: Richard Milhous Nixon.

(5,909 posts)for supporting Bernie Sanders, I'm not.
I just don't believe we will see the changes this country desperately needs with her as President.
Can Bernie do it all by himself?

cui bono
(19,926 posts)As if he's running for president for selfish reasons. They just keep trying these Rovian projection attacks and don't realize how silly they sound.
RiffRandell
(5,909 posts)He cares about the welfare of the country too much, and would never risk having a Republican as President.
I'm sure I'll be mocked for saying that by a certain group but you know what?
I don't give a flying fuck.

Thank goodness there is an exceptionally smart and principled kid willing to stand up against her.
