In reply to the discussion: Steve Leser for VP! [View all]MineralMan
(146,317 posts)27. Steven Leser is a pundit, of sorts.
Like all pundits, his view of things is what it is, but may well not reflect actual reality very well. He's one person, looking at politics from a particular, individual viewpoint.
I'm not a fan of punditry, in general. It's far too often conflated with actual information. It's not. It's opinion. One person's opinion. I prefer to arrive at my own opinion, which is often different from any of the various pundits who inhabit traditional and new media venues.

Sorry Nance, but in my opinion it's about principles, not party. You apparently disagree.

So Bernie's principles are a moving target but Hillary has been consistent. Got it.

Oh, after all this time being wrong I guess that she's used to the pain, it's just a mild annoyance.
