Even if the woman mentioned was someone like Kellyanne Conway, who is obnoxious, it is ridiculous and sexist for a man to decide that it is his job to evaluate the attractiveness of a woman and to inform the public of his view. Nothing makes this ok -- and given that he was hired by a campaign that has been trying to refute any Bernie Bro culture, this hire makes no sense.

I know nothing else about him -- and from this feel no need to look at what other qualities he has. Either Sanders is having trouble getting people to work for him -- even as we collapsed to 2 campaigns - or this shows the type of people he is willing to hire.

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