Bernie's flying habits showed me that not only did he have good ideas he also understood how must people live he "does not just talk the talk he walks the walk" seeing those photos was the tipping point. As I pointed out in post 24 "After I listen to Hillary being grilled for over 9 hrs. by Republicans in congress she had me on board I started to look into Bernie after being locked out of the Hillary group when I suggested that an attack on Bernie's family would not be helpful to Hillary" my investigation of Bernie's proposals after the lock out lead me to see that I should give him equal weight in my choice of candidates. It was seeing his "airplane flying habits" that tipped me to his side. As I said it is the amount of Bernie hate, lies and attacks by Hillary supporters that has made it harder for me to get behind her now. I had been a supporter of Hillary before but I am sure that I am not alone in feeling it harder to get behind her mostly because of the tactics which her campaign and supporters are employing. One of the best things about Bernie that I like is his continually taking the high road. I feel it would help Hillary a lot if she would do the same and insist that her people do as well.
