A town hall attendee in Maine took the opportunity to personally thank U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders this past weekend for pressuring pharmaceutical giants to curb the sky-high prices of inhalers, lifesaving devices that millions of Americans with asthma rely on to breathe.

    Don’t always align with him policy wise, but man do I like him as a human being. Always focusing on solutions to issues, not attacking others.

        I think there are things he wants that he knows won’t ever happen but he pushes for them anyway. Focusing on ‘taxing the rich’ is never going to happen (IMHO). I think, removing loop holes, and making sure everyone pays there share is a much better fight, and achieves the same results. I’m sure there are other things we’re not lined up on but that one jumps out.

          He knows that. It’s psychology. You ask for everything you want and more, then you haggle to just what you want.

          Yes, it’s stupid, but people are stupid.
