(17,663 posts)get your panties in a bunch, Bernie supporters, if HRC does the same with him.
He's got a history of anti JFK, anti Obama, stuff, a little fling with Castro...and has been sitting pretty in Congress without having to stick his neck out on much...
My fave is his betrayal of Ron Paul on a complete audit of the Fed...caving and switching for the ineffective watered-down version without even informing Paul of his sudden change....the two had companion bills going...until Sanders suddenly decided not to go with it....
Bernie served VT with his gun control stuff...meanwhile, Clinton had to deal with her constituents which included the city of NY where the Twin Towers were destroyed and 3,000 people died. Her vote on Iraq, based on the information at hand, was something that could be seen as serving HER constituents....
