40. No I have not listened yet

but today I do plan on listening. I know I can speak with a degree of certainty, as mentioned in another post here, Sen. Sanders does "walk the walk". There is no doubt in my mind. And while I expect no candidate to make racial issues a major policy stump speech( has never been really addressed by any presumptive candidate, ever) I expect strong and forceful words spoken about and to this large divisive issue confronting our culture. That's my bottom line. And according to BrotherIvan's post, Sen. Sanders is starting to address race and not just economics. I will see later today when I have the piece firmly planted in my consciousness.

What's TIA? All I could find was some kind of stroke like symptom...

Yea, that concerns me too, but I imagine Sanders anticipated some of it..maybe just not this soon. Jefferson23 Jun 2015 #15

I think he's going to have to be flexible in approach BrotherIvan Jun 2015 #16

Honestly, he is going to get hit from the status quo from both sides and corporate media. Jefferson23 Jun 2015 #17
