Yugoslavia, Kosovo, Libya

He even voted for the 98 Iraq liberation act , apparently was OK to unseat dictators just a few years earlier)

1997, Bernie voted for HR 2159 - Foreign Operations FY98 Appropriations bill

I can probably think of more but that's enough right now

I have never run across a candidate that I liked at first and then just liked less and less every day. This is what his colleagues understand and we should pay attention to that.

Can you even imagine how abysmal his numbers would be if he had been the nominee and subject - finally - to any real scrutiny?

It's a campaign. You get whacked around, and it takes it's toll.

Hillary has been doing this for awhile now.

Looks like the more people get to know him, the less they like him.

I'm so glad people are finally learning who this guy really is.

It was horrendously expensive, and no one wants a President who can't get face time with a world leader except by ambushing him/her in a hallway at four in the morning..

most expensive, world wide, political stunts of all time.

All because he wanted to change the subject from the horrendous NYDN interview he gave to get their endorsement.

That's my take on it, anyway.

The image of the woman in the wheelchair having to run the gauntlet of screaming and swearing was just wrong. A staunch Bernie supporter I know was really troubled by it.

At one point, I thought BS should address the incivility of his followers, but if his rising negatives are a result of the Bros, Susan Sarandon, Tim Robbins & Nina Turner, then I hope he never addresses it. Let the world see the kind of people they are. The problem with basing your candidacy on "revolution", it brings out the crazies who really want to do harm to other people, if they can't get their way.

Just imagine how well he'd hold up with an onslaught of attack ads from a well-funded GOP smear machine.
