It wasn't so much Bernie taking on Jeb and Hillary as it was him being egged on and put up to it by sleazy news anchors eager to start a fight. Kind of like rubbing roosters' noses together to start a cockfight. But Bernie refused to take the bait and stayed above the fray, although at first I had my doubts if he would. Very admirable, very classy, and that's why Bernie has my vote.

The sad truth is that American politics can get very dirty. It's still quite early on in the presidential race, but if Bernie keeps on surging the way he has been, and becomes a real serious threat to the front runners, he is definitely going to get attacked by them, and the attacks are likely to be vicious and malicious. He will have to stand up for himself and make the battle lines very clear. I hope and pray that he will be able to keep to the same high road that he is keeping to now.

Bernie embodies the best of what politicians should strive to be. He's the real deal, unlike the phony types who claim to be leaders, but are really only lookin out for themselves. InAbLuEsTaTe Jul 2015 #26
