As for this controversy though, even if the creepiness is just unconscious paternalist (sexist) behavior, as I think it most likely is, it's still not great, and he should do a better job of apologizing; I get that he doesn't really want to say sorry for things he doesn't think he did wrong, but at this point he probably should.
He should GO AWAY. How could you possibly like him? He talks weird, his positions are useless, and he's a creep. There's literally nothing to like about him, and also. he won't win if he becomes the democratic candidate. He won't. His centrism won't win over a single republican (because no matter how far to the right a centrist candidate tries to go, there's a republican candidate further right than that, and the republicans will pick that one EVERY SINGLE TIME, and it will turn off a LOT Of democrats.)
Good god ABF, has the party learned NOTHING? This is how you lose elections! The very fact that you can even say "I like him but on everything that counts he's terrible" is utterly depressing. Why even go on....
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
