when talks to us, he isn't all polished and scripted. He doesn't have his head nod's timed for just the right second to get maximum impact.
He doesn't look all choreographed. I think he doesn't do the well practiced body language thing to sell his message. All he needs, is to tell the truth, tell us what he thinks, what he can do to make life better for all of us. And if we listen and help him we can get back to being a great country again. And that is why he is running and for no other reason.

and they both were just working it to hard. They both just came off to slick for me. I don't feel good about either of them.
This is just my opinion, not meant to offend.

I like him because he is so real. There is no bull with Bernie Sanders

I like Bernie because I agree with him on almost if not all issues. He feels my pain, he knows what makes me feel better. He knows me even though we've never met. Thats the kind of President I want and will work to get.

person like Bernie Sanders. If my parents and grandparents were alive they too would be all in for him.
Before he decided to run I wondered just like Bernie, not sure he could get the people behind him, even though I knew
a lot about him from XM radio days and so on, I just didn't give people enough credit to rise up and push him into
the national spotlight. I am glad to say I underestimated my countrymen. I have high hope that we as a country
can climb out oligarchical dungeon we've been trapped in. That all of us can share equally in the promise this
nation has to offer.

He's not flamboyant nor is he a braggart, he simply loves this country and is worried about our future just like the most of us are.
