20. Honestly, I may not have followed the 2016 primaries closely enough to know what you're referring to

There was no question that I would vote for the Democratic nominee in the general election, but saw good points in both Hillary & Bernie and to be honest, didn't vote in the Massachusetts primary. I thought of voting in the Republican primary (open primaries in state) maybe for Kasich to register opposition to the abomination of Trump, but I didn't because I thought someone more reasonable, like Kasich, would do better than Trump in the general election.

Can you point me to an article or summarize why my perception is wrong about Bernie? I liked what I saw of him in the debates and in televized speeches. Where is the negative that I missed?
