Yet, I wanted him to answer Tweety directly when pressured to explain how he would get his proposals passed through Congress. Bernie's response that he is attempting to 'change' the political climate is not enough for me.
I want to hear my candidate explain directly how the 'Republican control' of legislative duty is the PROBLEM.
I want my candidate to truthfully tell his supporters that he will need a change in the Senate and House to accomplish his goals.
I want my candidate to lead a national movement to replace all the riff raff with progressive dedicated public servants who will serve the greater humanity.
My candidate of choice would be inspiring his supporters to understand how large a problem we have and encouraging them to fight at every level of government to make a change.
I think Tweety handed Bernie a soft ball that he barely took a swing at.
Bernie will have to be a bit tougher if he is to face off with Trump.
