This clip is crazy. The journalists literally laugh at Bernie for saying he wouldn't take bribes. They can't imagine someone who isn't corrupt. https://t.co/3nx35WdYMV

This goes along with Lance Mannion et al. asserting that Sanders would be a bad leader because he’s not unethical enough to really understand how to govern. This is a mainstream centrist view, in other words.
What kind of mental gymnastics it takes to convince yourself that it’s preferable to have a leader who is corrupt, I have no idea.
