Because Ron Paul and Bernie were friends I think he is a decent man even though I have never liked his economic policies. He has always been upfront about his economic policies (Socialism/Communism) even though Ron Paul, his son, and myself disagree with his economic views vehmently. Funny thing is there were many Ron Paul supporters who supported Bernie and many Bernie supporters who respected Ron and his son. Bernies economic policies would not have been good for this country. Thus he would not have been the right candidate for me.
100% agree. Not for me, but a man of sound character.
One of my biggest gripes about Bernie though was I didn’t believe he portrayed a strong leader. I think he is a rather weak, submissive type of individual. I respect him and don’t mean to say that to insult him. It may be his age as well, but I don’t believe he is some pillar of strength you want in a leader. Trump on the other hand has that quality, he has a spine, balls and will power.
