His campaign isn't going anywhere; so who is your second choice? It is simply a matter of time until he drops out; perhaps after Iowa?


He might have one or two good sound bites; but not enough to get even a toe hold on the nomination. Besides; I don't like his stance on curtailing immigration - but that is me.

Not entirely true. Bernie Sanders, Rand Paul, and Ron Paul all introduced some version of the Federal Reserve Transparency Act.

From Sander's website:
Quote:
Sponsored an amendment calling for an audit the Federal Reserve. The audit found that far more had been spent in the Wall Street bailout than previously disclosed, and that considerable funds had been spent to bail out foreign corporations.

But Ron and Rand don't believe in stealing money from one person and giving it to another person. Bernie Sanders only wants to audit the fed so that he can gain support in stealing money from Wall Street and giving it to the poor.

I did no such thing, and I said from the beginning, MSNBC is not the source of the poll.

That just means you attempt to insult the messenger instead of addressing the message. i.e. You can't address what was posted with logic or fact.
I address the message and put forth correctly that you as a messenger use the exact same tactic.

Wall Street has been stealing money from salt of the earth Americans for 40 years now. By design, as a result of banking deregulation, weakening of antitrust legislation and weakening of collective bargaining rights, Wall Street has been on a massive pillage and plunder binge at the expense of ordinary Americans.

Bernie Sanders is not an advocate of means testing programs to focus on the poor and thus pitting the middle class against the poor to fight for the crumbs. And he is not a bootlicker of the rich and powerful who meekly serve them and ask his voters to subordinate themselves to their wealthy masters. He is a funded exclusively by the people and is his own man, fighting for salt of the earth Americans for close to 50 years and that's why so many support him. He is democracy personified.

Forget Bernie, Ron and Rand.

Ron isn't running.

Bernie and Rand won't win.

All the rest are owned lock, stock and barrel by Wall Street -- except for Trump.

Lol! Yes, and of course Trump would be the one to fix that!

Please. He's the one investing in robotics!

He might be? But do you want our President to invest in robotics and to owe favors to the rich that profit from immigration (legal and illegal), and outsourcing at the same time? It is like a triple whammy!


What we need is a problem solver and not a problem maker. We need a politician that actually represents most of us and not the rest of the world.


I see simply no change with any of the others.

Trump is running a cable news campaign and obviously Millennials are getting their information from somewhere other than cable news.

Here's a hint...the financial industry is regulated more heavily than any other industry in America. They don't do anything without the active help, support, and often connivance of the federal government and all it's regulatory agencies. You don't have to believe me, read Flash Boys by Michael Lewis if you want an example of what I'm talking about.
