Bernie Sanders Voted Against the Brady Bill

What's up with that? He's soft on gun control, in line with Vermonters. That tells me he bends to his electorate like everyone else, and thus is not a down-the-line liberal on principle. He does what he has to do to get re-elected. And how does that make him different from anyone else?

Trump is a High-Speed Train Wreck...Is Hillary Another in Slow Motion?

Don't minimize or dismiss Donald Trump. He is a high-speed train wreck obliterating the race for the GOP nomination as a functioning process. And there is no end in sight -- he is built to last, perhaps even through an independent run. And is Hillary Clinton a train wreck as well, in slow motion? Joe Biden is clearly beginning to wonder.
