1. I worry he would not be very diplomatic with other countries.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

2. Diplomacy in general does not seem to be his thing.

[oasis]

3. Through the years, until 6 years ago I loved the guy. nt

[LongtimeAZDem]

5. Same here; I liked him long before anyone outside of Vermont had ever heard of him. But

his conduct in the last election forced me to look at his life and work more closely, and I no longer look upon him favorably.

[MH1]

6. Yup. nt

[Blue_true]

11. Similar here. When I heard he wanted President Obama primaried, I was alarmed.

Then 2016 happened and I was totally done with him.

4. I don't dislike him, I agree with him on many things, but I do have some concerns...

Those concerns do give me pause as they have heightened since 2016.

(So I choose none of those options)

7. I voted for him in the primary in 2016, but not this time

He's 78. He just had a heart attack. Now he says he won't release his full health report and I don't think he ever released his tax return.

Of course, I will vote for him if he ends up being the Democratic nominee, but not in the primary.

8. He's become the millionaire that he has spent his entire life trashing

[politicaljunkie41910]

13. I thought about that too, but didn't want to say it. I recall after the last election how he

suddenly had all this money, and he and his wife bought a new house; after his campaign went about the campaign bragging about the fact that they were running their campaign on small donations from donors of an average of 18 dollars. Sure; and he winds up a millionaire at the end of the election. Hillary wins the nomination, and the Bernie Bros stage a walk out and a sit in at HER convention, and most of his followers are still not registered as Democrats. Instead they followed in his footsteps and registered as Independents.

9. I have a favorable opinion about him as an advocate and that is all. nt

[Blue_true]

10. IMO, some of the tactics that are coming from his campaign are too similar

to what we have been seeing from Trump people.

[aikoaiko]

12. I'll always appreciate that Bernie showed us that a lefty could fight hard

He may make mistakes and sometimes isn't as responsive to legit concerns, but for an independent lefty from Vermont he's showing what someone can do if they stick to their core lefty values.
