Please provide evidence of me, anywhere, or any time, suggesting that politics aren't "tough." I've had 55 years to learn just how tough politics can be. I don't care how "tough" it gets; business as usual in the form of disingenuous manipulation and corruption isn't okay, and should be kicked into the light.

And please point me to all the governors on DU who know better than I how "tough" it is to govern. Or to where I've ever said a candidate would find it easy to do so.

In reality, it would be nice to quit throwing out broad brush attack memos, and address issues. Sander's supporters are not a single, monolithic entity, any more than any other sub-group of the population.

If you really want to open a dialogue with Sander's supporters, let's talk issues. That's what drives THIS Sander's supporter, anyway.
