... all this stuff 40 years ago... abortion, homosexuality, income inequality, wealth inequality, opposition to immoral and aggressive wars, etc etc. etc.


BUT.... and this is a biiiiiiiiiiig "but"...... this ( consistently good judgement, moral and political, demonstrated indisputably across the last four decades) ) is actually a *weakness*.

Yes, it's a FAULT.


Why? I'll tell ya "why"!

What has he done *LATELY*?? THAT's WHY !!!


No, I don't get it either. But I ran across a variation of this argument at least twice this am.

From at least two different posters.

I think it may be code for "he's too old."

Listen..... they don't have a lot of ammo if he forces them into an actual public debate on actual issues.

So we're likely to see more of this, not less. The trick for Sanders et al is to make the media cover him. Ensuring the aforementioned public debate.

If it does.... he stands a better than even shot at the nomination. Way too early to speculate about the general election.
