A powerful Las Vegas labor union said Thursday that staffers of the Bernie Sanders campaign wore union pins in order to gain access to employee areas at four of the city's unionized hotels.

Culinary Workers Union Local 226, an affiliate of Unite Here, said it was "disappointed and offended" by what it suggested was an unethical move by the Vermont

But didn't he fire the polling data shithead almost instantly? And I see the heads of his campaign admonishing the Berniebros and publicly address the other stuff. That mike director dude even defended the hillary campaign lead who was getting harassment on Twitter. What else should they do other than address it with transparency? I don't see them behaving unreasonably when this sort of stuff pops up.

I honestly had the same concern about Bernie if he gets into office. Like Obama similarly was the "hope and change" candidate but was revealed to be a centrist who didn't know how to deal with the republicans. Bernie, however, has been in politics for a very long time and has been consistent with his politics. If he didn't pull a stunt on the spectrum already, I highly doubt he will change now. Unless you're talking about the pivot he did in regards to criminal justice reform after his run-in with BLM. Instead of digging in his heels, he met with them and absorbed their main points, evolving his policy proposal. Which I really loved.

And I agree with your last point. I don't see Bernie as some sort of hero. He is the best option for me as a politician. I'm not voting for some BernieBro shithead. And I'm not starry eyed naive millennial who wants to follow Bernie like Moses across the Red Sea. I try to see the forest over the trees, so to speak.

Obama never claimed to be anything but a centrist though. The problem in Obama not knowing how to handle republicans can be laid on only one thing, the fact that no matter what he did, the republicans were going to oppose him.

His big mistake was in assuming that the republicans would love their country more, than that they hated the very idea of a black man as president. He was wrong about that, but it's an honest assumption to make.

Because the big problem with the republicans is that no matter what Obama would have done or said, they were going to hate him. And it's a miracle he's gotten as much done as he's managed to do, despite the way they've been trying to screw him over since 2008.

I may not like Hillary, but one of the reasons I do think she'd work as a president, is because she's just evil enough to screw over the republicans right back if they try and railroad her. If they try and mess with her, she wouldn't be above blackmail, or using their own methods against them. And I don't think that Sanders would be able to do that.

My favorite outcome is therefore with Clinton as president, and Sanders as her vice-president, in order to keep her on the right track.

So fight evil with evil, fire with fire. I don't feel comfortable with that.

I don't 'like' it either, but it seems to be the only way that works.

Obama tried to hold the high ground, and all it did was get the republicans thinking they could get away with doing whatever the hell they wanted.
