will get long overdue vettings this season. I know nothing about Colorado politics or Sirota's wife. She is not responsible for his words or deeds. Sanders' wife, on the other hand, has been a partner in many of his activities.

I am a believer that the best predictor of future behavior is past behavior. While a person is allowed to change or evolve, their actions must bear witness to that change. Both of these men have not demonstrated they deserve my respect, and Sanders has not earned my consideration for office.
