Correct me if I'm wrong: In the Intro, Bernie Sanders said nary a word about himself. ISSUES.

Issues were all he spoke about, and everyone else talked their resume up as much as they could given what little time they had.

It was odd he wants to increase his name recognition and then didn't tell his own story, odd move IMO.

The question would have helped that, he didn't choose to take that opportunity.

To me, it is another example of this NOT being about him but what he can do for us!
