@dalias this is who Bernie has been for as long as I've known about him. Bernie has a great stump speech and cares about reigning capitalist exploitation but isn't a great manager of staff or judge of character and is easily influenced in areas outside his personal focus.

It should not be forgotten that Paul Manaforts partner in consulting ran Bernies 2016 campaign, the Russians were influencing _both_ Bernie and Trump to ensure Clinton wasnt elected, and im not sure Bernie ever realized he was the mark in a con which makes me question his judgment tbh.
