Senator Sanders: We ARE Smart

[KitSileya]

21. Some Sanders supporters are claiming that he says it in every speech.

That it is part of his stump speech. If that is true, isn't it just another example of how out of touch he really is? He is incapable of changing his speech when parts of it no longer fit, or when events make his usual way of saying things ill-advised.

In other words, you are right. He is not responding to the voters, and their concerns. He is not listening, he is not changing his message as he is told by ordinary folks that their lived experiences contradict his theory. Hillary does that. She goes around talking to people, and what's more, listen to them, and then change her stances if it's appropriate. Because of it, her detractors call her a weather-wane, but I would much rather have a President who is willing to hear and take into account what ordinary Americans have to say, than one who hasn't changed his message since 1958. The world is a much different place in 2016 than it was in the '60s.
