I think what has been revealed since he entered the race is that he doesn't possess a great amount of leadership skills. I agree that he seems to be out of his depth when the conversation moves away from a discussion of economic justice and economic inequality. But, the fact that he has not been able to collect a circle of friends and supporters after so many years in congress and then the senate is a sign that he lacks leadership and diplomacy skills. I started out excited about his candidacy, but as I listened I decided that he would not make a good president.
Hillary, for all her warts and faults, is in possession of a great intellect and great leadership skills. Even the republicans in the Senate liked to work with her and have gone on record saying that she was a great Senator for the people of New York.
President Obama has been a great president. He understood that he is the President of the United States rather that the President of the People who voted for him.
I think Hillary is correct in saying that Bernie is a one issue person.
