In reply to the discussion: Bernie Sanders needs to sail off into the sunset [View all]True Blue American
(18,208 posts)370. Well, Bernie
Just had another failure. He did not do well last Tuesday at all.
Time to concntrate on fixing Vermont problems, Bernie. Few doctors, One health insurance company, little manufacturing, young leaving. Fix that, then get back to us.
I swear, Bernie is all bluster, no accomplishments .
