9. The Fact That You Consider Bernie's Own Words and Actions Bashing...

...then that is telling. A Bernie supporter could try to defend Bernie's actions, but instead, a simple recitation of the facts is dismissed as bashing.

There are candidates who have had to deal with actual lies. Joe Biden with the Ukraine. Elizabeth Warren with Trump's Pocahantas attacks. Hillary Clinton with pneumonia gate.

Yet, we simply ask about Bernie's own statements and actions, and that is being too harsh, because he might be our nominee? Really?

If Bernie Sanders can't be held accountable for his actual words and statements, then how can he be our nominee? If you can't respond to truth, how will you deal with Republican lies?

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
