Bernie should make clear that some SuperPACs are better than others. DanTex Feb 2016 #5

He doesn't need to. Any 10 year old can see the difference. cali Feb 2016 #7

Common sense is common sense, it need not be argued and is usually axiomatic Dragonfli Feb 2016 #24

A little odd, then, that Bernie wouldn't just come out and say what he believes. If it's so obvious. DanTex Feb 2016 #25

Speaking the truth about what Union PAC's are or are not is "smearing"? KittyWampus Feb 2016 #69
