I want to know though, if you agree with me that Bernie Sanders forms the EXCEPTION to the rule, rather than the standard, as far as model Senators are concerned?

Elitist? Yes. Again, I want the very best people I can find running the American Government. And I accept that there will be legitimate criticisms of how -I- define who is sufficiently qualified for that job. But the idea that these kinds of disagreements and the debates that arise from them are important to have is why we have a Democratic system, and I am all right with the implications of losing the argument and winding up in the political minority. I have to be, right?

Thank you for your opinion, Cali, it is welcome, as always=)
