pt him over the top, so I can see how disconcerting it could be. Also, it's his prime demographic...young folk who didn't give a darn before. Hmmm. Yes that is cause to pause.

Wasn't it just Demi Lovato I saw with HRC? HRC has a boat load of celebrities. They protect their own 1%.

Bernie mostly gets scientists...those with degrees and such.

his healthcare plan in need of major reworking.

There are plenty of other reasons to support him, but he is far from a dream candidate. Of course, that will mellow once he becomes president and has advisors. I'm voting for his principles and vision.

A part of his charm, IMO, is that he was kind of chosen, unlike she who has coveted this for decades. It shows.

Hillary's plans are in need of major reworking as well, as far as we peons are concerned, yet we know there is little possibility of that.

Heck, I'm waiting for the equivalent of the Boston Harbor. Maybe that's the Twitter thing? Who knows. But it's on!!

that badly.

I can think of the last President who wanted it this much, and how that ended... the name is obvious but I won't mention it.

I agree. She seems to want it way too much, and that in and of itself is a problem.

They definitely have a stake in things staying just as they are. No rocking of the boats...business/stardom as usual.

6. Hit and Run. In any public forum, make a brief attack of your opponent or the opponent position and then scamper off before an answer can be fielded, or simply ignore any answer. This works extremely well in Internet and letters-to-the-editor environments where a steady stream of new identities can be called upon without having to explain criticism, reasoning -- simply make an accusation or other attack, never discussing issues, and never answering any subsequent response, for that would dignify the opponent's viewpoint.
