back yard, in Vermont. Your questions imply that. Bernie knows politics quite well. It is ridiculous to suggest he does not.
I think Hillary is quite politically strong, even rough - the thing is, I do not believe I would care for the things she uses that strength to accomplish. THAT is the problem, not attempting to paint Bernie as weak and Hillary as strong. I don't like her on the issues, and telling me she is strong enough to get done what SHE wants to get done just confirms that my support for Bernie is the right thing for me.
