So...how come Sanders isn't doing well? Whenever I see or hear him, he seems like quite a sincere guy who wants better for America.
It's nice and one thing to want things. It's an entirely different thing to be able to execute on those plans.
His vague answers on the his exact plans on breaking up banks, his holier than thou attitude in abandoning southern minorities because they wouldn't vote for him, A seemingly complete lack of foreign affairs knowledge after his disastrous Univision interview...these things tend to add up.
Probably the final nail in the coffin was when he went after Barney Frank. A man not only with a lot more accomplishments than Bernie himself, but a man who votes even more to left of Bernie on just about all of Bernie's issues. He's been the literal face of Progressive America for some time now and co authored the largest financial regulation bill in the history of the country.
While I became somewhat concerned with Bernie after the first 2 or 3 things, his little barrage with Frank quite frankly put me off of him almost completely. He's done some good in pushing a few issues out to the front, but I honestly am just not feeling the Bern anymore after his recent escapades.
