A 78 year old man with health issues whose served more than 30 yrs in Congress Win?!?!

I'm talking about Biden. It's a fact that both the front runner and the second place candidates have this in common Don't forget this if you are going to use it as an attack against Bernie.

And yes, Biden currently is 77; he'll turn 78 this year. And he's had serious health issues that are not going away.

It applies to both of them.

sign on to other people proposals.. He has individually accomplished a couple of PO namings.. I don't know.. I understand being passionate about someone.. but Elizabeth Warren has actually put things on the table.. why would a Democrat vote for Bernie Sanders over Elizabeth Warren who is a dyed in the wool Democrat and has taken on the party mantle..

I will stick with Biden.. He has accomplished many things.. has experience int the Oval Office..

One has had a heart attack, a fainting spell, osteoporosis, a hernia operation and won't release his full medical records as promised (a "doctor's note summary" just won't do based on what we DO know). This sudden reversal to go back on what was previously a very clear pledge of transparency... well, that just makes people wonder why, and it makes people suspicious that something MORE serious is being hidden.

I just think that the American voters deserve to know the truth... the FULL truth.

brain surgery. On blood thinners to prevent. Has prevented.

Bernie, on the other hand, had a heart attack, recently. We don’t know what the underlying condition is in full.

release the full medical records after promising earlier to do so.

There's no comparable problem re Biden's health.

It's silly to try to pretend there is.

I think it is a ridiculous argument comparing 30 yrs ago to sanders having an heart attack months ago. And where is Sanders records he promised. It is the right thing to do, before the first vote.
