I came here today, because I believe from the bottom of my heart that it is vitally important for those of us who hold different views to be able to engage in a civil discourse. It is easy to go out and talk to people who agree with you…that’s not hard to do. That’s what politicians by and large do. We go out and talk to people who agree with us. But it is harder, but not less important, for us to try and communicate with those who do not agree with us on every issue.

As much as I disagree with Bernie Sanders on many important issues (mostly economic), I have a lot of respect for the man. I cannot really say the same about any other presidential candidate in the race at the moment.

The fact that Sanders chose to take time off from his campaign to speak to students of a private, Christian university founded by Jerry Falwell tells you a lot about the type of man he is. While Trump is busying hurling insults, and doing his best to appeal to the darker, more hateful aspects of the human condition, Sanders is out there trying to build bridges.

Of all the political developments this year, including the rise of Trump amongst misguided conservatives, the most surprising of all to me has been the success of Bernie Sanders.

Six months ago, the idea of Bernie seriously challenging Hillary was laughable. It was her turn. She’s a woman. Bernie is old, crotchety and a self-proclaimed socialist. Who’s gonna go for that? Apparently, a lot of people.

While I disagree with Bernie Sanders on at least 50% of the issues, there is a big difference between Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton. Sanders is genuine, Clinton is not. Sanders want to do the right thing for the country, whether or not I think his solutions are misguided. Clinton worships money and power to such an extent she is willing to lie, cheat and steal to get it. At the end of the day, voters are picking up on this, and that’s a very good thing.
