18. My problem with Sanders is he decided to run on as a purist, and trashed Hillary so much

that by the general the youth looked at Hillary as a bad person, and it cost her votes.

He was selling idealism while not telling the youth you don't always get what you want and sometimes have to compromise in politics. This is why I don't trust Bernie Sanders and I don't think he should be elevated in our party.

I am sick of pretending his run did us good, it didn't!
