latest smear on Bernie - that he has Alzheimer's and Jane writes all his legislation!

Anyone with half a brain can watch his interviews and see this is blatant fail.

I call on all good democrats to refute this publicly. The same smear could be more easily used against Hillary if this gains traction.

Provide a link showing that some reasonably legitimate source is making that claim, or you've been outed as an anti-Bernie troll.

The light of day can keep small rumors from becoming common knowledge.

But of course you'll get your "fair share of abuse" for saying anything about it.

Stay strong. And thanks.
