Bernie's health records [View all]

The one concern that seems to keeps coming up with voters and the media regarding Bernie is that he's 78 years old and had a heart attack last October.

Personally I think he could put this issue to rest by releasing his full medical records. Just like John McCain did in 2008. The fact that Bernie decided not to release them before the Iowa caucus after promising to makes it look like he has something to hide.

What do other people think? You know if he gets the nomination the Trump campaign is going to make up rumors about his health just like they did with Hillary.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

All you gotta do is look at Bernie's busy schedule &the energy he exudes, more than most 40 yr olds InAbLuEsTaTe Feb 2020 #22
