Democrats hold key debate amid feuding over Sanders' medical records

[WestVirginiaRebel]

Fox News:

Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders said Sunday that he will release his medical records, after saying that any attempt by a political rival to get them is “vile and desperate,” as the primary race tightens and becomes more hard-hitting ahead of Sunday’s debate.

 

Sanders has increasingly cut into the lead of front-running primary rival Hillary Clinton ahead of the debate, the final one before Iowa residents are the first to vote, in the state’s Feb. 1 Democratic and Republican caucuses.

 

“Of course we’re going to release our medical records, the same way that … Clinton has gotten her medical records out,” the 74-year-old Sanders said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union." “It is not a problem.”

 

The Vermont Independent senator and self-proclaimed Democratic-socialist had until Sunday tried to capitalize on the reported request for his medical records by David Brock, founder of the pro-Clinton super-PAC Correct the Record.

 

“They are insinuating Bernie is too old and unhealthy to be our next president,” Sanders campaign manager Jeff Weaver wrote in a fundraising email sent Saturday.

 

“Bernie is in excellent health. But this personal attack is another example of a sickness in our democracy when it is so easy for millionaires and billionaires to buy up candidates and elections.”

Say what you will about Bernie (and I have very little that is good), he does come across as Real....What You See Is What You Get. This is unlike a certain other candidate who when she was 1st lady had a polls done as to where her and Bill would vacation.

That is the only reason why I like Bernie Sanders..

Here's something that I don't normally do... post and suggest a read of a CNN article.

 

It's interesting to hear their own liberal take on their own liberal candidates.

 

These are their 6 "debate takeaway" bullets... worth reading the whole article.

 

 

Charleston, South Carolina (CNN)Bernie Sanders is mad as hell -- and he's hoping Democratic voters are, too.

The Vermont senator denounced a "corrupt" political system and cast himself as a break from it, while Hillary Clinton tied herself tightly with President Barack Obama and argued she'd build on his legacy, as the Democratic presidential contenders clashed Sunday night in Charleston.

Here are six takeaways from the final Democratic debate before the first votes are cast in Iowa and New Hampshire:

Sanders = Trump

Clinton = Obama

Clinton's foreign policy advantage

Purity vs. pragmatism on health care

Nobody's hitting the Republicans

Sanders willing to throw punches

Pretty much always assumed that.
