(8,976 posts)I think we are seeing an entirely unprecedented level of duplicity-Take the disappearing debate-Clinton felt she needed an unscheduled debate prior to the New Hampshire primary. She seemed to feel that because Sanders name recognition was so high here that she might perform better in the polls if she debated him. After negotiations they agreed to the NH debate and several others including one in California, where Sanders had been an unknown,to be held before their primary.
Hillary reneged at the last minute-reneged on a promise made to Sanders and the public. In a sane world, a candidate who lied and cheated in their campaign and in public would immediately be considered unfit for office-even by their supporters. Here her supporters spoke about how "smart" she was to refuse and how another debate "wasn't needed".
You call him gullible and perhaps this is so-I guess on reflection you know your candidates character better than Sanders or I.
