Why wasn't the Sanders Campaign straightforward with the public....
...instead of concealing the fact that he had a heart attack for almost three days?
Why wouldn't they be forthcoming and honest from the very beginning? The BS campaign was reporting "no heart attack" as if it were fact, but it wasn't. Why didn't they just say "too early to tell" or "we don't know yet" or words to that effect?
...instead of concealing the fact that he had a heart attack for almost three days?
Now that the precedent has been set... now that we know what to expect... (and now that we know the TRUTH is TOTALLY OPPOSITE from what they told us) I'm afraid that I will now (and forever more) have a VERY DIFFICULT TIME in being able to trust any news at all that comes from them.
All I'm saying is... they should have been honest, direct, transparent and forthcoming FROM THE VERY BEGINNING... but they weren't. And that's a shame. The BS campaign has totally lost my trust on this matter. I can't believe anything they say when it comes to this subject.
If I were to vote in a presidential

This appears to be something the BS campaign prefers, rather than just being forthcoming with facts...

I think a reasonable "precondition" is that the candidate be healthy enough...

And some Trump supporters think that Trump needn't release his taxes for the same reason.
