Sanders Backs Out of Interview After Failing to Dictate Conditions

52. Perhaps the people of Vermont think that the issues he and his wife were involved

at home in VT might have been important? He's working like hell to avoid discussing things that directly affect his constituents. Weird how when it's Bernie and Jane and using his status as Senator (allegedly), they're separate but other spouses are held accountable for the things their significant others did, despite not having any status to vote on anything. Sure Bernie should never be judged on what Jane did, or his own votes, or his own actions, or his failure to answer questions.

This continued deification of a career establishment politician sickens me. Democrats were being attacked for the past year, by this guy who did his level best to ensure they were in the minority by pushing propaganda that affected quite a few voters who took him at his word.

Um, there was a staged press photo and thus he's not required to do the minimum of what we want every elected official to do, answer simple questions honestly? His constituents are asking where he is, why he's busy on his book tour and not making appearances at home, why he keeps walking out of meetings, why he won't meet with them, because they know that a Senator's job isn't to "love them" but to represent them and explain the votes he makes on their behalf.

It's a shame that he doesn't have that magical integrity that he's credited with despite not living up to the very things he berates others for, it's almost as if he were to walk the walk that people wouldn't be "punching him" by asking why he votes with Trump, why he won't answer simple questions, why he's so dismissive of his local news outlets who report on local news of concern to those constituents who he's supposed to love so much, but whose questions he doesn't care very much about.

It's a shame he's not at all what his propaganda paints him to be, even more so that he takes after the Republicans he votes with. Paul Ryan et a. also refuse to talk to their local papers, almost like they're afraid of them or something.
