(96,043 posts)The fact is, 'Bernie' is kind of a trimmer when it comes to high-price military equipment manufactured in part in Vermont.
Sort of like his views on firearms. The NRA was his chief supporter in his early Congressional career, and on matters like the Brady bill, he has remained true. His more recent stances can be seen as trimming to Democratic electorate beyond his rural state. Look closely at the man, he does not really seem quite so possessed of principles as he likes to make out....
"From Bernies perspective, dropping out of a race once you have no chance of winning is peculiar behavior that can only be explained by the work of a hidden hand. For most politicians, though, it is actually standard operating procedure. Only Sanders seems to think the normal thing to do once voters have made clear they dont want to nominate you is to continue campaigning anyway."
"When things are not called by their right names, what is said cannot make sense. When what is said does not make sense, what is planned cannot succeed. When plans do not succeed, people become uneasy. When people are uneasy, punishments do not fit crimes. When punishments do not fit crimes, people cannot know where to put hand or foot."
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
