Bernie Sanders is running against an opponent who is not afraid of beating him bloody. I am pleased he started to fight back. So what if Trump is repeating his points. He's been doing that the whole time with his populist economit talking points. He'll have five different opinions on the same subject in as many minutes. He taunts and teases like a schoolyard bully. Even a substantial criticism will be short lasting. Give him a dumb nickname for her, he'll milk that for months.

Bernie Sanders has earned his place behind the podium. Perhaps you have missed his unparalleled grassroots campaign that has inspired millions? Or his 25 years serving in Congress to be given the name "amendment king" -- That's because he's a pragmatic progressive who gets things done.
