Bernie Sanders was the best choice for America, but he's also kind of a pussy.
He also dropped her email scandal early on and lost any political leverage he had against her on that subject. I applaud him for wanting to have a more substansive primary competiton that focused on policy issues, but he refused to go after his opponent's weakest point (trustworthiness) and that made him a weaker candidate.
He's like a modern-day FDR but without the charisma. He's too cerebral and doesn't have enough political bravado. Those factors alone made him the best political candidate this presidential cycle offered by far, but he needs a little more guts to stand up to the corrupt system that he has advocated against.
I respect the hell out of him for trying to do the right things for America, trying to focus the discussion on real issues affecting Americans rather than Hillary Clinton's scandals, and trying to keep Democrats and Liberals united to defeat Trump in light of the news of the DNC rigging the nomination process against himself, but I'm just pointing out that the leader of a "political revolution" could have a little more guts and self-respect.
