that is all that I am referring to. Bernie speaks honestly when he is questioned.

If you are expecting Bernie to go into areas with gun violence and tell them about his belief that gun manufacturers shouldn't be held responsible....

Then I assume that you would also like Hillary to go into the homes of the thousands of veterans who have had their arms and legs blown off in Afghanistan and Iraq and are suffering from PTSD, and the homes of the thousands of families whose loved ones died in those wars so that she could explain why she voted to send them there.
