I'm a conservative, but I know Bernie personally from when he was Mayor of Burlington and state legislature. He is a man of great conviction and integrity and what the DNC and national democrats did to him is an absolute disgrace to America and to our political system in general.

Bernie is a much better human being than the Clintons.
Trust me. You might not agree with his views and he is far from perfect, but the Clintons are like evil incarnate themselves.

The fact is everyone is better than the Clintons so that means little.

Bernie Sanders is a Democrat. He ran on the Democrat ticket for President, he caucuses with the democrats, he votes with the democrats 90% of the time. Bernie is a Democrat.

Trump did the same thing with the Republican ticket mate. it's a 2 party system. You either work within those bounds or you're out.
