19. Bernie a good guy

Feb 2016

he's been in politics for 30 years he IS the very definition of establishment...."establishment" means career politician....the GOP love him...he's got great name recognition...but if you are going to be a sore loser and cry when HRC wins can I watch? because it's impossible to discuss the political issues...without BS supporters jumping all over people if they question him on his campaign promises for more information about how he would accomplish his ideas...all I get from bs supporters is "how dare you question bernie on anything." I know that is because he has a lot of young supporters...it's so ironic because although I am much younger than Bernie we were both raise in an age where the mantra was "question everything"....if the man can't hold up to questioning after 30yrs in politics...he has no business being president.
