#1 Kissinger's record is spotty. Negotiating the "peace" in Viet Nam is what he's know for. Of course the only thing the Viet Cong had to deal was the POW / Mia issue and nobody is actually satisfied with how that went down. Suppose we had a no deal end to the Indochina conflict. John McShame never comes home, we get new aerial refueling jets 20 years sooner and maybe a credible opponent to Bath House in 2008. Alternate history.

#2 "A Sanders administration will not be taking advice from Henry Kissinger," Sanders added.

Unless of course you wish to invest in Communist China. Kissinger is your 'go to' person if that is your goal, he has been for decades.

#4 Bernie's just attacking the only politician alive that's older than he is (96). "I promise that in my administration a 96-year-old man will not be Secretary of State!"

#5 M. Murcek, wasn't Kissinger behind the triangulation that separated the Soviets from the Chinese? Some brilliant maneuvering whomever was behind that.
