Bernie Sanders IS 78 year old….
He’s older than anyone running for the Presidency or the President himself…
He looks and sounds fine…
But?
He had a heart attack less than a year ago…
People want to see his medical records…
He’s released some off them…
But in something of a Trumpian manner?
Dancing around and evasive ….He’s holding out against what he SAID he would do….
Hmmmmm?
He enjoys talking about his lead in the polls, the size of his crowds and his number of Twitter followers. He routinely criticizes the mainstream media and insists he cannot control his most zealous supporters online. Most people in his adopted party don’t want him to be their nominee, but the establishment cannot agree on who is best to stop him.
Elizabeth Warren likened Mike Bloomberg to President Trump at the top of Wednesday night’s debate, warning Democrats not to substitute one “arrogant billionaire” with a history of misogyny for another. But it was Bernie Sanders who displayed flashes of his Trumpian side during the two-hour clash. The most significant illustration of this came as the senator from Vermont sought to justify his refusal to release his full medical records.
The 78-year-old would be the oldest president ever elected. Sanders suffered a heart attack in October just a few miles from the site of the debate, but his campaign refused to acknowledge the extent of what happened until three days later – late on a Friday. During the two weeks he spent recuperating at home, the senator told CNN’s Sanjay Gupta that the American people have a right to “full disclosure” about the health of someone running for president. “And we will make, at the appropriate time, all of our medical records public for you or anybody else who wants to see them,” he said.
On New Year’s Eve, Sanders released summary letters from three physicians that concluded he’s healthy enough to be president. That’s far from his full medical records. Now leading in the national polls, after winning the most votes in the first two states, Sanders says that will have to suffice for people worried about his physical fitness to be commander in chief.
NBC correspondent Hallie Jackson, one of the debate moderators, noted that Sanders has attacked Trump for refusing to release his tax returns. “What,” she asked, “happened to your promise of full transparency?”
