Sanders' Non-conformist Israel Message Casts Him as Boy in Emperor’s New Clothes

1. I don't think it was necessarily avoided like a minefield...

If the media covered him at all, they would know his views. Shoot I knew his views before he ran... Of course I'm an ex-VT gal who still has family and pride in its people... My own FL reps are not something I'm proud of... I'm terrified of most of them.

Anyway, I thought the idea of the two states was something they brokered deals with back years and years ago.. This isn't some new idea. I think holding Israel to the agreements a bit more might be the talk, but no one is alienating them from essentially being our 51st state.

I think foreign policy is really on the back burner for many Americans this election cycle. The world sees our economy as "recovered" because of the GDP and the wealth created, of course, that wealth is only going in one direction. I think most Americans would like to stop spending time, money, and human lives in the ME... But it's taking a back burner in a sense to the economy. When Obama was running in 2008, it was against the Bush Admin. Te war and the fact that avg Americans were falling behind. At that point over the last 10 yrs, families were averaging $2000 or less in economic growth in and economy the wealthy were doing so well. 8 years ago people were struggling. And then the economy crashed. And Main St issues were thrown under the bus just the save the world's economy. Which was needed because we were hemorrhaging jobs. After that purge of jobs, the new shitty wages and crappy work conditions hit everyone because you were lucky if you had a job with a pay cut and were doing the work of 3 people. And you still are, even though the wealthier have recovered.
