I don't have much to offer, but I will offer this. Senator Sanders seems to always keep separation between himself and well, everyone else. He seems much more comfortable on a platform, in the spotlight, speaking at thousands of people. He seems far less comfortable listening to and responding to a few. He is great at the simply stated big picture stuff but pretty terrible at genuine empathy.

In the end anger will only get you so far. To really change the world you need a vision, compassion and a desire to serve others.
