He even gave it in the Fox interview and he was just fine but because the questioned was framed with terrorists and sex offenders all hell breaks loose but we have a big problem with felon disenfrinchisement which is not limited to terrorists or sex offenders (one duer added murder -- which kind? 2nd degree? Manslaughter?) In this country.

This is one thing that Canada, Europe does better than America.

When anchoring his own nightly show, he focuses on facts. The interpretation on the video is right.

While it was a hatchet job, it was NOTHING like what Sanders will face in the general. I see all of this as an opportunity to learn to speak in sound bites. Get that out of the way and then drill into substance if time allows.

Case in point: on becoming a millionaire, he should have said both on Fox and CNN: "Here's the difference. Trump gave a huge tax break to himself and his billionaire friends. I want to raise taxes on myself and the 1%."

to the ambush. He gives everyone the benefit of doubt. He has gotten better about spotting these ringers and it is a lovable characteristic in people with empathy. Hopefully voters will see past all the gotcha bullshit because Bernie is genuine to the core.
