I think he's going to do rather well. He has a good sense of theater and is consistently quotable. The same can be said of Trump, but there are important differences well outside the obvious left-right divide. Sanders speaks in bullet points. Trump rambles. Sanders has good fire discipline with his bullet points. Trump just sprays 'em, bystanders and his own foot be damned! Like Time Conway with a 50 caliber machine gun. For those of you who don't know what the hell that means, start at 10 sec. into the following video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J3qgy-3nPeU "The real test for Bernie is likely going to come at the first nationally-televised debate."

Since I'm my own editorial department, I make up my own ethical rules as I go along. I'm not going to endorse anyone before the primaries are wrapped up. Then I may or may not endorse in the general, haven't decided. I mean, I admit I'll have a bias in my writing, but I try my best to be even-handed and fair to all of the candidates. Those are my own self-imposed rules, but I certainly don't fault you for asking. How about you? Got your eye on anyone (on either side)? -CW Michale -
