BECAUSE HE HAS TO RUN FOR RE-ELECTION IN VERMONT:
Bernie Sanders Parrots the NRA (Cliff Schecter, 7/12/15, Daily Beast)
Bernie Sanders is the tell-it-like-it-is candidate of the left's dreams: He takes on "the billionaire class" and wants Medicare for all. Thousands are drawn to his unapologetically liberal (even democratic socialist) message at events in Iowa and New Hampshire. In both states he's closing in or even tied with Hillary Clinton in presidential polls.So why on the issue of guns is he parroting wholly inane, sometimes racist talking points from the National Rifle Association?
The GOP could have taken him out in the '94 House race had they realized how big the wave was going to be. Scared him out of gun-control towards the NRA line.
