HA! Grasping at straws I see. What are you doing cutting and pasting what I already know? YOHABLO Feb 2020 #136

Maybe so, but he promised to release his medical records The Velveteen Ocelot Feb 2020 #137

I guess he's waiting for all the candidates to release their records as well. YOHABLO Feb 2020 #138

Yes. They are pretty simple and straight forward. I read medical records for three years. krissey Feb 2020 #124

Then he should tell us NOW who his VP pick is, since that person may have to fill in not_the_one Feb 2020 #17

Absolutely. It could be anyone. He has no love for the Democratic party or Democrats. krissey Feb 2020 #32

Sanders promised he would do something, and he just said he would not keep that promise. krissey Feb 2020 #67

If he breaks an EASY promise like this? What about his promises about M4A and student loans? CalFione Feb 2020 #41
