Email to Senator McCaskill [View all]

Senator:
I am wholly disappointed with the comments attributed to you regarding the candidacy of Senator Bernie Sanders for President. You are certainly entitled to support whomever you believe to be the best person for the position, however your comments were very dismissive of the Senator and his supporters. I greatly object to your characterization that the Senator is promoting "extreme" positions as that is simply not the case. He has to my knowledge always been a supporter of the working people and the average middle class members of our society. Comparing him to Pat Buchanan, Ron & Rand Paul with their right wing positions is simply beyond absurd. I would not be too quick anoint the Candidacy of Former Secretary Clinton and to dismiss Senator Sanders as I recall in 2008 Mrs. Clinton was considered the sure thing and I believe things turned out a bit different.

Regards,
