A persistent meme on the right since the 2012 election has been the notion thatDemocrats are "moochers" who voted for "free stuff' or handouts. You right-wingers are puzzling in your decision to turn on the American people whose votes you need. Apparently you patriots who constantly shout how much you love America just do not care too much for the American people.

In addition to being an inaccurate stereotype of the nation's poor and working class voters, the overgeneralization about low-income uneducated slackers making up the Democratic base also overlooks the breadth of our coalition. Mr Obama won among college educated voters and he won overwhelmingly among voters who had advanced degrees. In other words, freeloaders like physicians, attorneys, research scientists, pharmacists, psychiatrists, professors, librarians and other professionals who have at least a Master's degree. These are the people supporting Sanders.

Like I said, if Bernie doesn't even buy cars made by the UAW, then he's a hypocrite. It's plain and simple.

Sanders supporters love him because he's close to broke, and a "good person."

Since when did the US turn into a country of losers?
Wow, how shallow a person you must be if you think that your value as a person is defined by your wallet and "how hot" your wife is. Where would Jesus rank on your scale or the Pope?

You asked, above, "Would you like to provide an example of some other candidate's products that are made in China?" I showed how Trump makes products in Mexico, which is more than ironic.

Cuebald was referring to campaign products. Nice try.

Unless you are an active trader, you won't be affected.

It's not what you pay, it's what you get for your money that is the deciding factor. Those who don't want to pay taxes are freeloaders who want something for nothing.
Not what Bernie is saying. He's honest about his intentions to raise income taxes and corporate taxes.

Oh! Lets see. Another Trump hater? If the point you are trying to make is anything other than: Trump has been extraordinarily successful in every facet of his life, you're off base. I have faith in Trump because he's one of the most successful human beings in the late 20th century.

It's well documented that Trump would have been more financially successful if he had saved/invested his unearned inherited riches rather than done all his wheeler-dealer real estate deals. Donald Trump Would Be Richer If He Had Invested in Index Funds - Fortune

If you want to argue that he's a winner in his personal family life, then have it. 3 wives, a child who publicly condemned him, that may be your idea of success but it's not mine.
