http://www.businessinsider.com/warren-buffett-bernie-sanders-hillary-clinton-2015-9"He's not going around saying things about other people. He's just saying, 'Here's my program," Buffett said. "I think he's run a model campaign. He's not going to get elected, but I admire him."
Despite his opposition to the Citizens United ruling, Buffett has seemingly overcome his reluctance to donate to so-called super PACs, pledging to vote for Hillary Clinton and donating to the "Ready for Hillary" group in 2014.
Please note , DUers, this is a common sentiment on The Street. Bernie is admired for not attacking Hillary. Unlike the fever swamp of websites that has overtaken a good, possibly great candidates supporters.

You claimed, in another thread, that you are a "hired gun" working on campaigns. Who are you working for right now?

(34,170 posts)When you look up his OPs, they often start off positive or helpful, but then you realize he is predicting failure.
Maybe this is just his way of helping.

I post the downer Sanders posts because the rah rah is pretty much covered. Down to earth and down to work it what the Sanders campaign needs to be doing.
And thanks for the stalking. Let me know what else I'm up to; I often lose track.

(2,427 posts)WB : I admire Bernie, he's smart and knows the truth about all of us rich bastards and our dirty tricks - However, I'm sticking with the candidate that won't threaten me or my greedy friends.
His famous quote about his secretary getting taxed at higher rate than himself was amusing. I think he was making a progressive point but he didn't follow up proper - he should have just paid her a couple of million a year in dividends and rectified it.
