re: #202 Testy Toad T

The President is the de facto leader of their party. Quelle surprise that somebody who has eschewed parties for essentially his entire career has no grasp of how important this is.

That alone is why one should seriously hesitate at the thought of making him President. I admit it was something I overlooked when I supported him earlier last year. Honestly, I think Bernie’s what I call sheltered. I hope I don’t sound like I’m knocking Vermont. It’s a beautiful state and reliably Democrat at that but in Vermont, Bernie hasn’t had to deal with I’d call real political adversity. And I think strong candidates are ones who have overcome that in some way. I guess they can point to what is happening now as a form of it.
