Bernie Sanders may not be sexist, but those implying HRC supporters only care about gender might be.

So you can drop the sexist screed and assumptions that we only care about gender. 

Hillary has policy proposals, union endorsements, party endorsements, endorsements from civil rights hero's, and experience putting her foot deep inside Republican assholes. She has stood face to face with foreign governments and excoriated them for human rights abuses and stood up for diplomacy around the globe. She is supremely qualified to be president and lead our country forward.

Bernie Sanders is running one of the most thin-skinned campaigns in history, anything less than lavish praise for for him is met with chants of "conspiracy theory!"

I want a fighter, not a whiner.

You're telling me that Bernie supporters petitioned the White House because CNN removed some online polls?

Terrible on guns, clueless on foreign policy, no Wall Street policy, couldn't even explain socialism.

I have told a number of them it isn't time to stoop that low as Hillary isn't really up by 41. She is up, just not by those margins. Going Gowdy should be a last resort, not the first line of attack. It shows desperation. I understand how passionate they are and that this is personal. The reactions are hasty and often based on things not reflected in reality.

But, he seems to have draw a fairly crowd of thin-skinned folks with access to keyboards.

Even his campaign delves into it, it's the media's fault! It's the DNCs fault! It's corporations fault!

which might explain the attracted.

But, that said ... I don't think that excuse making amounts to being thin-skinned. It takes on the thin-skinned appearance when small things receive an over the top response. See: trump on just about any and everything mildly critical of trump ... I don't think the campaign has reached that point; but, he supporters seem to have started there, on day One .
