He is actually 20 points below every other candidate and I do not want the minimum wage raised at all but I feel if you're going to say $15 is the minimum livable wage then you should start by paying your staff that.

Just because he is polling behind other candidates doesn't make their views better than his, that just means they are outspending him to influence public opinion to another direction. You have yet to speak about anything substantive about ANYONE. You only try to belittle Bernie but haven't stated anything positive about another single person that is running for president. It is very easy to try and mud sling as it doesn't require saying anything about any actual issues, it just avoids all topics just as it is designed to do.
Well if my candidate doesn't have anything that I can get behind, best just to mud sling against the opponent to detract from them rather than running on something substantive. THIS is where Bernie wins everything, he is too busy actually running on issues to talk badly about other people and it is why he is a better person than EVERY other candidate as well as probably 70% of America, including yourself.
