1. Insider / Outsider

[FreeState]

2. Bernie is no outsider

he's was in the House from 1991 - 2007 and in the senate from 2007 until now. Thats 29 years!

3. He's attacking the establishment. Outside pissing in.

[FreeState]

4. No he's throwing away his chances by not working with reality

The fact that after working in the federal government for so long that he only gets 9 federal endorsements is red flag to me. Its one of the reasons I switched from voting for him in 2016 to not supporting him this time. I want a uniter.

[LaurenOlimina]

5. I agree.

[George II]

12. He's been in the establishment for 30 years.

6. LOL! The "outsider" has been in Congress for 30 years.

[onetexan]

16. And has very little to show for his 30 years in Congress

I didn't want to get into the names, what would be a LONG post.
