(34,845 posts)Isn't he a warmonger, too?
And it was Bush, Jr. and his little buddies who actually took us to war.
My point, however, is that Sanders did little to make himself known or to build coalitions among his colleagues. That's why he has so little support in the Senate. The meek do not inherit the Earth. Or the mantle of President. The man or woman who actually engages with others over a lifetime and builds bridges and actively socializes with the right partners is the one who gets that role.
I've heard that people didn't know Sanders at first and that's why his campaign didn't take off. Well, why wasn't he making himself known before he jumped onto the Democratic Party bandwagon? After 25 years, hardly anyone knew who he was? That's the man who thinks he's personable and dynamic enough to be President?
He's a nice man with great ideas. But not Presidential material, apparently.
