Bernie Sanders

[Lagboltz]

He has not held office or worked in the government so he can't have.
HRC, on the other hand, has.

I said Trump has done the sort of thing that happens in government. I did not say he did exactly the same thing. That is quite obvious. It is a habit he could easily take to government.

He has no influence over any sort of thing that impacts decision making apart from his own business entities nor does he benefit personally from his charity. Clinton has had that influence, sold it and has personally benefitted from it.
You picked an unfortunate zinger given very current events.

I don't think you really know what goes on with Trump and his enterprises. He certainly does benefit from his charity. Lots of cases have been documented where you give to his charity and he will do favors for you.

His favor is a personal endorsement not anything marketable. And he doesn't skim the foundation.
You have nothing.

And here we thought his name, and his name alone, was worth billions. However, you really are clueless:

And here is how you make money off of charities:

So Trump is the politician of your dreams. I'm not that naive.

I like that he's not a politician.
Pols have created the problems we have. We need a new paradigm, have to start somewhere.

Who says he is not a politician? And electing a lying cowardly whoremonger to office of President is not a "new paradigm". If you really wanted to atart "somewhere" you would vote for an honest person, not some cur dog without the intelligence of a good boner.

View attachment 792 I don't trust Hillary Clinton one bit because of the allegations that have come out against her. I dread the future if she becomes President. But I do trust Bernie Sanders. I believe that he can be a great President.
Many years ago Bernie opposed segregation. Congress passed his first piece of legislation for the National Program of Cancer Registries. Because of Bernie's efforts, all 50 states now run registries to help cancer researchers gain important insight.
Sanders has been re-elected to serve eight terms as a Congressman by the people in Vermont. Bernie Sanders has integrity and that is the kind of President that I want.

I love Bernie Sanders! When I watched this I was cracking up! If you are a Bernie supporter, you will love this:

Very well done Jon Stewart!

I miss Jon Stewart. He and his staff have an uncanny ability to get to the bottom of things. A good replacement for him is John Oliver's Last Week Tonight. Some don't get HBO, but fortunately there are long segments of him on YouTube.

Sanders is the only choice for President of The US as far as I see it. The middle class is disappearing, and we need too rebuild our infrastructure. Bernie Sanders is the only person addressing these fundamental issues. He's also the only candidate who genuinely is for the people, and his campaign proves it with how much money he's received as donations from average working class Americans, as opposed to lobbyists and corporations.

The other thing that I'd like to address about Sanders is that he is a Democratic Socialist, not a Socialist. These are two different things, and people just assume he's a Socialist while totally ignoring the Democratic part. Historically, Socialism is not a democratic process, and was often imposed upon citizens with violent force. Sanders makes it clear that he has nothing to do with the Socialists of yesteryear, and insists that Socialism in America should be chosen freely and fairly by the electorate.

This post and the O/P seem like political promotions by the Sanders campaign. They are spam.

Bernie's extremely progressive socialism makes Hillary look conservative by comparison.

Like Donald, Bernie was able to activate a lot of new voters. The main difference between Bernie and Donald is that Bernie's audience is yuppie young adults who would like free college and other free stuff. But the USA is already in deficit over its head. So now is not the time to talk about more free stuff even though it might be alluring to new yuppie voters.

It will be interesting to see if Hillary picks Bernie as her running mate. That would at least ensure Bernie's voters would vote for her ticket. And this would help ensure a victory over Donald.

You obviously have no clue as to the position of Sanders. Unless you also think the Founders were the dreaded "socialist" I would like for you to point to one of his positions that was not supported by the Founding Fathers.

You obviously have no clue about what I have no clue about.

I have watched all of these idiots since the beginning of the primary season.

They are all idiots.

Hillary is the most experienced in administrative government of all these idiots and even she and her hubby Bill have some really crazy ideas -- such as you can put the assault weapons genie back into the bottle.

Hillary is the lesser of two weevils now.

Bernie is an idiot who is way ahead of his time.

Someday when we are all communist then Bernie will seem like a conservative.

In the meantime he just sounds like another wacko communist.
