to make it seem like she and Bernie are ideologically close.

But "co-opting" is not the same as "adopting".

And I believe everyone knows that, including her supporters.

Just watched Bernie's meeting with a huge number of people who live on the Pine Ridge reservation tonight. The way he brought in so many different people of all ages into the conversation - encouraging young people to join in - giving them the mike and listening carefully. When do you EVER see that in a political campaign in this country? It really threw into relief how corruption and selfishness have been so thoroughly normalized in this country.

Anyone with 1/1000th of a brain and without their head in the sand and without money coming to them from a HLR win can very easliy figure that out.

hold a candle to him. She is dishonest, Bernie is honest. She is untrustworthy, Bernie is trustworthy. She has zero integrity, Bernie is the definition of integrity. She lacks morality and Bernie is the embodiment of moral. She's not authentic and Bernie is the most authentic politician to EVER serve the people (except for Paul Wellstone) and she wouldn't know the meaning of the word ETHICAL...Bernie is the most ethical politician in Washington D.C....evidenced by the lack of support he has received from almost ALL of his Congressional colleagues! CORRUPT TO THE CORE!

So, yeah...I agree with you wholeheartedly!

PEACE
LOVE
BERNIE

Bernie and Paul were two peas in a pod. Bernie has said that Paul was a personal friend.

Imagine this: If Paul were still with us, a ticket this year of Sanders/Wellstone. Or even Wellstone/Sanders. How electrifying it would have been!

I can believe they were friends. They're so much alike. I love them both. Two truly GREAT men.

and frankly that is not enough for me anymore, as the line blurs between the 3rd way and republicans. We old fashioned labor supporters are not very popular anymore.
