‘Single-issue’ candidate Bernie Sanders touches on 20 issues during a Michigan campaign stop

[Nanjeanne]

From Washington Post:

YPSILANTI, Mich. -- In the Democratic presidential race, it’s become a familiar refrain: Bernie Sanders is a “single-issue candidate,” according to his rival, Hillary Clinton.

No doubt, the Vermont senator has more to say about economic policy than anything else. But as evidenced by a campaign stop here Monday, Sanders’s pitch is far broader than the caricature that’s been offered by the former secretary of state.

During an hour-long speech to a crowd of about 9,400 people at Eastern Michigan University, Sanders touched on issues including health care, immigration, criminal justice, climate change and marijuana policy, among others. All told, we tallied 20 issues -- give or take a few, depending on how one counts.

I must admit - this is one of the most puzzling attacks against Sanders. But when you don't have much to throw - I guess anything is worth a try.

1. Looks like Hillary is going to have to find some new mud to sling

Maybe instead of talking about Bernie's issues she address some of her own? There are plenty of issues that I could see her addressing, like her position on Keystone, Glass Steagall, her flip flop on gay marriage, her Iraq vote, her email investigation, her Wall Street payments, and the list goes on...

4. I've been saying this every day - why doesn't she talk about real policies and issues

It's Bernie this and my opponent that . . .

And her surrogates keep telling me that she's electable. That she's been at the forefront fighting for African Americans for her whole career - and not once has a "journalist" said . . . "Which policies?" "What has she actually done?"

It would be almost funny if it weren't so sad.

3. I swear soon she'll be reduced to blurting " He's Bald , I'm not " he is Perspicacity & Courage, why

talking about the harm of the CIA in the 80's as a Mayor, formulated in words to Alan Greenspan during his admonishment of him, as if anyone else in the government could, would or weren't part of the royal scam perpetrated on America , And his one issue bleeds in to every aspect of life on this planet .
