5. The human mind can rationalize just about anything.

That's what is so destructive about so much of our thinking, including that which comes out of the mouths of brilliant people like Bill Clinton.

I'm sure he has all sorts of things he has to rationalize.

The people are well aware of the truth. Bernie Sanders is speaking the truth. Ergo, hence, he is gaining popularity as people resonate with his ideas and authenticity.

I'm for him all the way. And Bill Clinton can basically kiss my ass.
