heart problems.

One of the meds Sanders is on now (I saw a list posted here) is for heart failure, and I'd guess there's a very good chance he does have some degree of heart failure from the heart attack.

His odds of making a full (or at least better) recovery would be much greater if he'd drop out of the race.

I'm guessing he decided to risk his health (and to risk having Democrats vote for someone who might not make it to election day, let alone be able to serve a full term if elected) because he wants to win so badly, and this would be his last chance to run.

I could be wrong about this.

But I won't believe I'm wrong unless Sanders releases full medical records, at least those pertaining to his heart problems, and those records prove I'm wrong.

If I were to vote in a presidential
