Am I mistaken or is Bernie finally getting more vetting? {HRC Group}

I'm seeing more and more clarification about him. Things about him hiding his taxes, his Communist past, his votes against gun control, and now, quotes with him praising bread lines.

It's about time!

There's an inevitable honeymoon period, particularly with a politician that's been under the radar for as long as Sanders and has the public perception of being relatively clean.

However, that honeymoon period comes to an end when they either look like they're a possible contender, or when they erode their public perception through their actions.

In Bernie's case, it's more the latter that caused Maddow to come out swinging as his campaign disavowed her earlier reporting on Sanders' involvement in Southern states. That seems to have lit the powderkeg.

Once lit, it's hard to get it unlit.

Vermont on the board, a little too cozy to me. It seems okay with Sanders dumping Vermont nuclear waste into another state.
