I like him, because I feel he is trustworthy, honest, and would be unlikely to give in to party pressure.
I think he is too extreme in some of his social ideas, especially regarding free college education. Although, for many years I have spoken out against tuition costs rising.
I like that I hear almost nothing about him being Jewish. I wonder if that will come up more if he winds up directly facing the Republicans. I don’t think it will be a big negative to most Christians (I only mention the Christians, because they are the majority, and they often bring religion into politics) but I’m assuming, I don’t know, that he is fairly secular, maybe even an atheist, I don’t know, and that would be troublesome to some people if that is the case. Hopefully, his religion and beliefs will never come up. Most Evangelical Christians I have met assume Jews are pro Israel and theists, and they like that.
I noticed that he and Hillary differ quite a bit on how they would handle international situations, and because of my ignorance on those topics I don’t know which one is better. I think international affairs are extremely important right now.
I don’t know if Sanders supporters are jazzed about him more for domestic issues or international, or is it both?
If I had to vote today I would vote for Hillary, but I’m very interested in Sanders, and I have been encouraging people to vote for him in the primaries if they think he is the best choice. Some people say they won’t, because they think he won’t win in the end.
