Bernie Sanders is surging because his message is resonating with voters. He's holds real populist views, such as a day's work should be compensated with a decent day's pay and is angry about how the top elite is capturing most of national income while those who work for a living are stagnant.
Yes ... resonating with socialism.

Operative words here are 'decent politician'. Seems that the word oxymoron doesn't come to your mind like it does to mine.

This made me chuckle since it is soooo true. I think Uncle Joe is only popular in Delaware.

I have to take these polls at face value. It is silly to have an undeclared person beating anyone. Outside of Uncle Joe saying that if he were POTUS he would not change Odumba's policies, he has not stated a position on anything. We all know that Odumba has said if he were to run again, he'd win ... I guess this is a chance to prove it.

I don't know your age, but I was in Viet Nam during the McGovern crap and your analogy (in an effort to be polite) is at best exceedingly unusual.

Now for a direct and civil question ... Do you think both of these issues are insignificant?

I think the totality of his words did not convey the meaning which has been pasted on them. The sodomizing and murder of the US ambassador, the murder of three other Americans and the attempted cover-up is the issue of the investigations. HISTORY LESSON ... Everyone screams WATERGATE but Watergate was a silly, bungled, third rate burglary. The cover-up was the problem. The failure to protect our embassy and the cheap attempt at cover-up are the problems here.

Once she realizes the "Republican War On Women" claim is no longer working, she will probably come out of the closet and start using the "Republican homophobe" claim.
Well ...
Most Republican politicians are Homophobes. Certainly the ones running for president.
Only a small percentage of Republican elected officials have been LGBT friendly, off the top of my head I can only think of Congresswoman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-Miami).
Can you name a single candidate on the GOP side that expressed support for marriage equality, ENDA (the Employment Non-Discrimination Act), or ... has even engaged in discussion any LGBT organization or group?
Agreed. Having said that ... right now there are 2 Dems and 15 Reps. Let us see what the numbers are when there are only 2 or 3 (Uncle Joe) on each side. Methinks the current numbers are skewed because of the quantity of candidates (we won't discuss quality ... yet).
Remember that story about the boy who cried "Wolf!"? That's the problem with investigating Hillary. She's been investigated for the last 30 years and nothing, nothing, nothing.
Enough already! Leave her alone and go find someone else to investigate -- like maybe McCarthy?
Poor Hillary! She has turned into the PERFECT CANDIDATE for PRESIDENT! She lies, cheats and now she has added pandering to her list.
Her face was the first thing I saw on the news this morning. Can't believe I used to admire her.
Just because she is a Clinton and a woman does not give her the right to be president. She would break down and cry, the first time Putin or another world leader looked cross-eyed at her.
Where are the strong, smart, good men and women that could run this country??? Don't want the job???
You certainly are since your brand of debate changes no ones mind and you only state "facts" vetted by you to support your views.
As does every single poster on here - you included. None of us are changing each other's minds and we are all here defending our own idealogical positions.

Let's face it.
At least you admit your disinterest in discussion. I attempt to ask questions or motivation of politicians while some just make declarative statements that they seem to be truth, including you. No room for discussion, only seeking agreement.
The people that like Hillary LOVE Hillary and I think they are NUTZ.
She is a complete mess and there is so much against here and it is not only her age. She is a shrew, a career Politician with no real experience in anything.
Seriously what has she ever accomplished except possibly being the most cheated on woman in the world by her lecherous husband?
Hillary thought it was her time to shine in 2008, after years of putting up it was her due to be handed the office.
The only thing that is over due for her is to go to jail.
