      I like Bernie. And maybe he’s an exception. But the cynic in me doubts he is entirely immune.

      But for sure, good call.

        I’m sure he is not entirely immune. Nobody is, but I also firmly believe in Bernie’s ability to put the good of others before himself when it truly matters most. I cannot say the same about Trump, Hillary, or Biden.

        Bernie is still sharp as a tack. Also, we weren’t talking about fitness. We were talking about character and ethics.

      You are blinded by hero worship if you think his ego wasn’t at play. I like the man, I like his politics, but come on man, get real. He wasn’t falling on a sword, he was running for the highest office in the land with millions of devoted supporters cheering love to him 24/7. No one is immune from the ego boost that provides and it will warp ones perspective no matter who you are.
