3. Ok, but that still doesn't change

the fact that unless Dems control both houses, which won't be happening thanks to gerrymandering, Bernie can get nothing done without Republican help. They'll water down everything Bernie tries to accomplish. Question is will he go along with it to get something done or go down in history as a President who accomplished nothing? Anyone thinking Bernie will blow into town and accomplish even a fifth of the promises he's making are fooling themselves just as I once did. Be careful putting all your hopes into the guy, it's a long fall down to reality. As for staff....the fact Bernie's people hid this data thing from him is alarming. Even more so is that he seems to be ok with it. I can't imagine how Weaver still has a job. I hope he picks a better group of people that those that would keep him in the dark during a crisis. Have a good X-Mas.
