Yet the “likability” of self-confessed yeller and infamous grumpy guy Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) never gets discussed. When will he go through the vetting that we expect of top-tier candidates? Sanders is throwing elbows now, accusing Biden of vulnerability because he voted for the original North American Free Trade Agreement. That’s what Sanders did, but neither his opponents nor the media have pressed him on full disclosure of his health records. In sum, if Sanders is as viable as his supporters claim and as fund-raising totals suggest, he needs to get the same scrutiny that all top-tier contenders do.
