5. Truth-telling. He's in it to win it. He has ~45% of pledged delegates, not going anywhere.

And, of course, as the only not-corporate candidate, we need him in there.

Also, still the favorite over Trump et al to a far greater degree than Clinton.

Also doesn't have the FBI investigating him.

And his spouse doesn't mess around with interns.

And he's better looking.

You are really pushing it with this devotion. On no planet does Bernie Sanders look good.

They're both trying to sell a bill of goods to their supporters, that they can still win. The rest of us that can do the math, know they have no chance of winning at all.

Why do politicians like these two, think we are all idiots?

12. Bernie's real prize is the speakiing engagements and book deals he is looking to hoist him

and Jane into the 1%. Don't fool yourselves. Bernie's wealth envy is evident. Remember, he didn't work at a real job until he was 40 years old. His socialist ideas are more in keeping with entitlement for government to take care of everything.

He is 70+ now, not much in retirement from government salary that is much to depend on and he has a grandchildren and a son and family to provide for his family legacy. You will see Bernie accepting YUgee speaking fees, and signing huge book deals as soon as the convention is over...he doesn't have much time to waste.

It sounds crass, but you all know it is true. Running for President is Bernie's quickest way to the wealth he says he abhors for others. Book mark this and come back in a year. And, if Goldman will invite him, he will speak.

13. What an ugly post...

...displaying projection at its finest.

Remember: Bernie has been in Congress for over 24 years now, and unlike the great majority of his colleagues, has not used that to enrich himself. Unlike your preferred candidate and her husband, who have already cashed in, BIG TIME, to the tune of $150M or so -- so far. So for you to say that Bernie is in this to enrich himself -- well, all I can say is, that's rich!

17. That poster is emblematic of the right-wing filth that has infested this board and the Dem Party.

He could also just be a troll.
