All these people in the media saying he hasn't been vetted. Then vet him! If he has terrible skeletons in his closet, we all need to hear it.

We know some stuff, certain questionable votes and statements he has made, his involvement in socialist parties back in the day, some fucked up writings from his college years, etc. But most of that is public record, and all of that has been known for years and doesn't seem to be deal breakers for most Dems or he wouldn't be polling so well.

So, out with it, media and Bernie opponents! Lol.

I've heard some people imply that the repubs have some giant dossier they're waiting to unveil, but I'll believe it when I see it.

See how corporate media is handling this. Once VP Biden carries his weight, see how Graham, Grassley, Johnson regurgitate the need for further investigation into Hunter.

Right now it's Bloomberg for the so called vetting. Corporate media as well as polls are trying to herd voters to their choices.

The press is constantly attacking Bernie. Did he miss Chris Matthews "central park executions" tirade.

At some point it will dawn on these people that the reason Bernie is ahead is because Bernie is offering policies that people want.

GE is waiting. So many of the people voting will know nothing about Sanders background and have quite a surprise but it will be too late.
