The reason u don't see Bernie making TOO much hay out of this homie is 1) America unfortunately tends not to care about the suffering of Brown and black people across the globe...Fucked up......And 2) Going at Clinton about Honduras would mean going hard at the Obama administration. Lets keep it real...

It's much more easier to question Clinton over being one of the Hawkish voices in the room at the time the administration was debating on what to do about Libya....But the US having it both ways with the Honduras coup was not a Clinton special. Obama is her boss...His team decided to go that route...

So, Bernie is smart enough not to make it out an issue....He doesn't need to step on Obama's toes anymore than he already has....Bernie would rather go after Clinton on trade issues and Middle East foreign policy...

You won't get much traction on issues that don't have a direct effect on America's bottom line...Bernie standing up for those Verizon strikers yesterday is the smart (and valid) way to chip away at Clinton....
