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.

Bernie’s a far-left politician from a deep-blue state that has avoided serious competition by regularly caucusing with the Democrats. Guy’s been in Congress for 19 years, but up until last year most people outside Vermont or the recesses of reddit had never heard of him. Not exactly the profile of a guy who’s prepared to be president.
