anything while in congress. You can't really say you've compromised when you didn't get anything.

Sanders and his people always say to look at Bidens record. I'm perfectly fine with what Biden has accomplished in his career. All Sanders has done for his entire life is talk.

Nice to see my old favourite from way back, Dennis Kucinich in there, too.

Thank you for posting, Donkees!

I love Bernie, voted for him in the primaries last time around. We really need to win, and Bernie certainly has shown that he can.

And I'm going to leave it at that. I'm not saying anything negative about any of the other candidates. Let's get through the process and when it is over and we have a nominee, we need to work to turn out a democratic base of votes like this country has never seen before and hand Trump and the GOP a beating they'll never be able to recover from. They deserve it, with the way they have demonstrated their inability to defend the constitution.

his record of personal achievement is almost nonexistent. And for the rest, he voted for DEMOCRATIC legislation for close to 30 years.

This is what the "battleground" where he casts his vote looks like almost all the time. Sanders is informed by a staffer those very inoccasional times when it's time to go vote. Since Democratic senators do almost all of the work of researching, writing, and fighting to get legislation passed, Sanders could golf as much as Trump to fill in his spare time if he wished.

Whoops, forgot the battlefield.
