13. Bernie makes pie in the sky promises he can never fulfill

Never. It's not just I think they can't be fulfilled, HE knows they can't. His rhetoric is designed to fire up his constituency, but they are fired up with empty promises.....are those types of falseties, honest? He misleads his constituency with lines like "Ill never accept PAC money", when the reality is that no candidate can. He just pretends at a more noble stand with financing.

Of course he answers, he makes it up as he goes along and promises the world. Hillary is trying to be honest in that she won't undermine her last boss until the Keystone thing is finally resolved and won't state a lie just to get a vote. Obama has already vetoed the pipeline once.

BTW I haven't used HuffPO as a source since they strung Obama out to dry, after only his 2nd year in office, and Arianna Huffington bad mouthed Obama over and over and over on MSNBC. Note: she hasn't been on for a while, I wonder why?. I don't know what their real agenda is.
