John McCain: Bernie Sanders, NOT Hillary Clinton, Has ‘Record of Advocacy’ For VETS

[MADem]

182. He married an heiress while transitioning to retirement status.

He has never--not once--had to avail himself of the services of a VA facility. He transitioned from active duty care in a top shelf military hospital, to expensive, private, top-of-the-line care courtesy of his wife's billions. He doesn't even take his retirement pay--he signed that over in its entirety to his first wife.

Just because you work in a bar doesn't mean you know how to bottle whiskey. He can certainly have empathy, and the exact same level of knowledge that Sanders might have through study of the issue, but that doesn't mean he has any special experience, never mind authority. His qualifications are no better than anyone else's. Just because you have a career in uniform does NOT mean you "understand" the VA.

The VA is a very different kettle of fish. Anyone who has used it--or helped anyone navigate that nightmarish bureaucracy-- can tell you.

But still, you persist in missing my point. Would you want Arnold Schwartzenegger's 'praise' as to your level of fitness? After all, he was once Mister Universe. Bill Cosby to tout your acting talents?

Some people bring baggage to their "endorsements." And I don't think this is an endorsement--it's a cherry-picked statement.

Sanders -- if he even wanted an endorser (and I'm doubtful he even asked for this) -- could find a better one.
