Blunt-Talking Bernie

I’m from the Mid-Atlantic, you know the place where Chris Christie’s act kinda sorta works most of the time. So, I’m not the best judge of how things go over in the rest of the country, but I do like a candidate who’s willing to just say “That’s crap.”

“If you look at politics as a baseball game or a football game, then I’m supposed to be telling the people that my opponents are the worst people in the world and I’m great. That’s crap; I don’t believe that for a second…. I don’t need to spend my life attacking Hillary Clinton or anybody else. I want to talk about my ideas on the issues.”

Bernie Sanders is really from Brooklyn, not Vermont, and it shows when he talks like this. Some will like the sentiment behind his words, others the bluntness and honesty. I guess some will clutch their pearls and reach to cover the children’s ears.

I think his ethnicity/religion, regional personality and his age are all huge obstacles for him. But they’re not obstacles to me. This is how my people talk.
