20. But will it matter for you?

I mean, it's all well and good to disagree, but ultimately I can't see many Sanders supporters changing their minds, even though, IMO, this is a big deal.

It's not that I think Sanders is going to keel over. It's that I don't like the lack of transparency. It suggests there is something to hide, or that he thinks that the health the President isn't something we need be concerned about. But it is to me, especially since I don't know who he will select as a running mate (and I am concerned about that pick).

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

He could dispel that by releasing his full medical records. Cha Feb 2020 #12

I disagree with Sanders on this one Tom Rinaldo Feb 2020 #11

You don't think that him going back on his promise is something that doesn't rise to the level ehrnst Feb 2020 #13

It rises to a level of concern for me, but falls far short of outrage Tom Rinaldo Feb 2020 #18

blow job equals heart attack followed by hypocricy and obfuscation? Maru Kitteh Feb 2020 #28

Pretty sure most voters won't muster any outrage over this, either, for the reasons you cite. ancianita Feb 2020 #17

Sanders said he was going to release them.. what changed? Cha Feb 2020 #23
