(11,996 posts)4. Will they accept any Dems policy? They are basically all the same...
The Democratic Platform's.
Biden's seems more comprehensive, as does Warren's & Pete's.
Sanders appears to leave off some bullet points the others have.

(15,377 posts)7. Sanders has a D- rating with the NRA.
There are other candidates with lower ratings, but D- is not in the supports the NRA category.
But lets, for discussion purposes, assume he is perceived by Texas voters as pro NRA, doesnt that make him somewhat more electable than other Democratic candidates that are not perceived as pro NRA?
