re: #42 Barefoot Grin

Absolutely, totally agree. I was for Bernie originally but will likely go for HRC on Tuesday*. But there is an undercurrent here of “Bernie’s supporters are crazy, wild-eyed and he’s leading them over a cliff” and I think it’s mostly wrong. Bernie’s supporters range a spectrum. I know. My wife volunteers for Bernie in NH. I’ve been to a few events. Bernie himself doesn’t speak in such absolutes. Cornell West, who sometimes introduces him, does. I’m not a CW fan..

It’d be a lot more boring here if we all agreed. I just have to call them as I see them, and I’m really not convinced that Sanders is honest or would be good for the country. I’ll admit that I’m probably letting my distaste for the media coverage and his supporters color my opinion of him… but this is how he’s conducting his campaign and he seems to be okay with that.
