"Bernie bro" has turned into a pejorative...making it nothing but a stupid insult. gtar100 Mar 2019 #4

Exactly. "Look over there"ism. Because let's not discuss his actual ideas. JudyM Mar 2019 #9

LOL, so true!! Discussing Bernie's ideas leads to only one conclusion... President Sanders!! InAbLuEsTaTe Mar 2019 #45

Precisely Sherman A1 Mar 2019 #11

No, it isn't dishonest. TiberiusB Mar 2019 #51

Exactly. Just like Policemen, and Mailmen, and Chairmen, and Stewardesses Tom Rinaldo Mar 2019 #48
