starts to critically examine Bernie's fabulous promises. Bernie has gotten by with minimal scrutiny to date, but his good performance in NH and Iowa polls is now causing the media to take a closer look at his agenda. Bernie's platform just doesn't hold up well to scrutiny it seems.

I don't think so, so he didn't overpromise.

you might as well stay home. I recall many, many promises in the 2008 campaign. Some have been enacted, some were toned down and GITMO is still open. The Washington Post has an obvious agenda.

Sanders has promised that he isn't going to be able to get anything done unless his supporters stay involved and don't give up.
