154. Sanders looks very ethical compared to Hillary. What moves has he made that have damaged

Sun Oct 18, 2015, 08:50 PM

Oct 2015

his electability? I am unaware of any.

Sanders can appoint a good Sec. of State and Sec. of Defense.

On edit, Sanders has been in Congress since about 1991. That's many years of experience with foreign policy. George W. Bush had no experience whatsoever at the national level but managed to finagle his way into the White House.

Bernie's foreign policy statements make sense to the American people and that is what matter.

I think that Americans are sick and tired of the wars and the trade. So Bernie's foreign policy experience is a good fit with the mood of the country.

We want a president who will focus on our problems because our problems are very serious.

If the TPP is an example of what people who know foreign policy try to foist upon our country, we would be better off with people whose expertise is domestic policy. I think Bernie is great on foreign policy. He certainly understood the policy on the Iraq War Resolution far better than Hillary did.

Income inequality and corruption are going to be the issues in 2015.

The Republican candidates AND Hillary are pictures of the 1%, the winners in the income inequality, and this pay the foundation and then get weapons puts Hillary in the corrupt category.

Bernie is electable.

People will be disgusted with this scandal.
