....or be poor would have been a massive gaffe if he was not as far behind in the delegate chase as he is.)"

I'm really tired of this plea for sympathy.

I'm WHITE and I know what it's like to be poor and lived in what might consider to be a "ghetto" (although not a racial ghetto, but a poverty ghetto).

And I do NOT support Senator Sanders because his philosophy and politics do not advance the lives of those who are poor and disadvantaged.

And, as Sanders would say, "by the way".....I grew up with friends in Brooklyn not far from where he grew up, whose parents had numbers tattooed on their arms. He does not have a monopoly on that, and he should stop using that in his campaigning.

If he was so concerned about the plight of the poor and disadvantaged and the minorities, he would not have moved up to Vermont, he would have stayed in Brooklyn or even Chicago to help those that he's now suddenly concerned about.
