Rita Cruse as for your smear implying Bernie hasn't got much done.....
Former Republican Praises Bernie Sanders For Effective Legislating & Humility
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P9ituMWcJ2c
Bernie pushed the Stop Bezos Act to increase minimum wage.
Disney followed suit after Bernie protested in Anaheim.
Six states have moved in that direction. 3 states — New Jersey, Illinois and Maryland — have enacted legislation phasing-in a minimum wage of $15 an hour. California, Massachusetts and New York are the other 3 states that have passed legislation that gradually increases the state minimum wage to $15.
He recently got the vote passed for a bill to halt the Yemen War.
This is the guy who wanted to break up the big banks and predicted the collapse of 2008. He was against the Bank bail outs.
He wants to stop military funding increases and predicted the false-pretense war in Iraq & the rise of extremists (ISIS) 10 years ahead. He predicted the Patriot Act/NSA would break laws to invade our privacy.
He wanted to prevent NAFTA/TPP He voted against the Patriot Act while just about all of the others voted for it. Don't pretend to be for our freedoms if you are not speaking out against all of the politicians that voted for it.
Bernie is known as Amendment King. Those Amendments count as accomplishments, too! I'm not saying I agree with every amendment that he has helped pass. I am simply noting this because of all the people that say Bernie has accomplished nothing when he clearly has!
As chair of the Senate Veterans affairs committee Sanders helped pass VA health care system reform in 2014.
He also predicted the Panama Papers tax evasion scandal. He predicted the tax breaks would cut into Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and he was right. This level of intuition, and his abilities as a strategist, are what I believe we need in a president.

He's been a public servant for the people for over 40 years. How many candidates do you know that have a similar congressional record? Who else brought these campaign ideas that everyone is holding into the mainstream? Bernie is a natural catalyst that incites change. And he's changing it from the ground-up, not top-down. He's walking the picket line with workers.
He took a lot of people to Canada to get their meds cheaper since they couldn't afford them here. He did that years ago then again recently.
Senator Sanders has the best voting record of any candidate on war and peace issues, especially on military spending. Opposing the oversized Pentagon budget, he has only voted for 3 out of 19 military spending bills since 2013. By this measure, no other candidate comes close, including Tulsi Gabbard. In other votes on war and peace, Sanders voted as requested by Peace Action 84% of the time from 2011 to 2016, despite some hawkish votes on Iran from 2011-2013. Bernie challenges the military industrial complex and HAS BEEN CHALLENGING THEM for decades. In terms of stopping the war in Yemen, Sanders has been a hero. Over the past year, he and Senators Murphy and Lee have led a sustained effort to shepherd his historic War Powers bill on Yemen through the Senate. Congressman Ro Khanna, whom Sanders has chosen as one of his 4 campaign co-chairs, has led the parallel effort in the House. Of course, Trump vetoed it. https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Bernie_Sanders

He's always been for gay rights! He has always been for civil rights! He has always been for a woman's right to choose! He has always been for everyone's rights even before some of them were politically popular!
He has always voted against any bills that would take our freedoms away such as the Patriot Act and the more recent anti-BDS Senate bill that even though he is against the movement because it threatened freedom of speech he voted against it.
He spoke out against the peaceful Natives being brutalized at Standing Rock when none of the other candidates did except Tulsi.
He has always spoken out against Social Security and Medicare cuts! Even when Obama and Biden proposed it with just about every Dem on board that he helped prevent from passing.
His consistent record of being against bad trade deals. His consistent record for Medicare for all. His consistent record for raising the min wage. He has voted for the least Military Budget increases than the other politicians have That looks like a lot of accomplishments and consistency to me!

@rogerdodger8415 AND Bernie is not a communist and anyone that thinks that is an idiot. I was listening to Jesse Venture that I don't agree with on everything but it's exactly on point when it comes to these continuing wars and as he pointed out how the Patriot Act has taken some of our freedoms away. I guess you care more about Bernie talking about food lines for the hungry then you do our actual freedoms that have already been taken away. Bernie voted AGAINST the Patriot Act twice! While most on both sides voted for it. Stop pretending to care about our freedoms. Bernie is for our freedoms and protected them more than most other politicians.
Bernie is about helping people, saving lives, not killing them like our present healthcare system does to those that don't have the money for healthcare! Bernie is about saving lives by stopping the endless wars that are killing innocent people while Trump is directly responsible for thousands of innocent people killed in Yemen because of his veto of the stop the war in Yemen Act.
Trump promotes violence Bernie doesn't!
Trump is allowing oil companies to seize property from landowners! Bernie is against that. If anyone is a communist it's Trump!
President Donald Trump has significantly increased the number of drone strikes in places the US is not technically at war, In former President Barack Obama's first two years in office, the US conducted 186 drone strikes in Yemen, Somalia, and Pakistan, where the US is engaged in "shadow wars."
In 2017 alone, Trump oversaw 130 drone strikes in Yemen, more than three times the year prior. When Trump vetoed the stop the war in Yemen, YES, he is responsible for killing innocent people!
Comparatively, in 2017 and 2018 so far, Trump has launched 238 drone strikes in these countries,

Surveys Find Outsourcing Continues to Grow under Trump Administration
https://inhomelandsecurity.com/outsourcing-trump-administration/
Trump campaigned on: The country's infrastructure "will become, by the way, second to none, and we will put millions of our people back to work as we rebuild it", he said in his victory speech in November.
After: Has repeated his vow to spend big on the country's roads, rail and airports, but as yet, there is little sign of action. By March 2018 Congress had allocated $21bn for infrastructure spending - far short of the $1.5tn Mr Trump has called for. The money will be spent on a wide range of upgrades and investments, according to a congressional graphic.
