Looks like Sanders' breaking his promise to release his health records is getting more attention [View all] highplainsdem Feb 2020 OP

He said he would release his full records. MontanaMama Feb 2020 #1

He's being compared to Trump by the media. Just what we need... highplainsdem Feb 2020 #2

If records prove your case, then you release them. JaneQPublic Feb 2020 #11

Yep. Putting the election at stake in the service of personal ambition is something that ehrnst Feb 2020 #32

That is not coach. It's domestic first class WA-03 Democrat Feb 2020 #54

Just damn, another "Better than Trump" in areas while America needs total opposite of Trump uponit7771 Feb 2020 #26

Plus Sanders spokeswoman falsely said Boomberg "has suffered heart attacks" left-of-center2012 Feb 2020 #3

I like Bernie, but... joost5 Feb 2020 #6

"Pledging" "Promising" "Giving his word" -- Where?? thesquanderer Feb 2020 #13

What about doing a 180, going back on one's word, about-face, backpedaling? ehrnst Feb 2020 #15

Fine, take him to task here for changing his mind. But not breaking a promise. thesquanderer Feb 2020 #16

OH...so it's "Changing his mind" ehrnst Feb 2020 #17

Fine, call it flip-flopping. That's also accurate. Saying it's breaking a promise isn't. (n/t) thesquanderer Feb 2020 #20

But Sanders has referred to "flip flopping" as a dealbreaker when other politicians do it, ehrnst Feb 2020 #21

I think it's a non-issue, but I'm curious... thesquanderer Feb 2020 #23

BS said.. Cha Feb 2020 #60

Correct. Thank you for helping make my point. (n/t) thesquanderer Feb 2020 #61

What he said should be good enough to actually do it. Cha Feb 2020 #62

Fine. As I said, I was not arguing that what he released was (or wasn't) good enough, thesquanderer Feb 2020 #63

It's my conversation.. he said it.. and it should be good Cha Feb 2020 #64

If statements of intent were equivalent to promises, we wouldn't so often followup a statement with thesquanderer Feb 2020 #65

I love Bernie but cilla4progress Feb 2020 #7

He hired and leads his team, but takes no responsibility for them. Taraman Feb 2020 #8

From people who were never going to vote for Bernie anyway, yes it is. DanTex Feb 2020 #9

You mean like people who pay attention when a candidate does an about-face on a promise? ehrnst Feb 2020 #14

He really should release them. TDale313 Feb 2020 #10

This behavior is no better than Trump and Democrats are better than this. Don't promise us the krissey Feb 2020 #12

That would be a humble, sincere, generous thing to do. ehrnst Feb 2020 #29

He's hiding something. I can't support a candidate who's not honest about their health. NurseJackie Feb 2020 #30

A brand new version of " But the birth certificate!!!" Autumn Feb 2020 #35

But far less than he said he would, and what the "people deserve" ehrnst Feb 2020 #37

I don't bother reading anything past your headers . It doesn't matter what he said and I have yet Autumn Feb 2020 #39

Hurts that much, eh? He promised what no other candidate did, then didn't follow through ehrnst Feb 2020 #41
