That is a well known insurance policy Hollywood folks have to take out. Otherwise their homes are liable to be burned down.

I dunno. I have seen more of Little Marco on the screen in the past two days than in the entire campaign. CNN even cut away from Trump's rally in VA to show Rubio working his monologue. Like Trump, Robio is going to need come up with new material every day though if he wants to keep the cameras trained on him. Maybe he could pay some BLM demonstrators to crash one of his gatherings.

No the Democratic Party is NOT the DNC, it is more like fingers and thumbs... the DNC, or Democratic National Committee is not the entirety of the democratic Party, it is not all the people in the party, it is a subset of all the people in the party. Same thing with the RNC on the Republican side.

Maybe not. Most Bernie supporters don't know what Socialism is so who knows.

And ethnocentrist policies are often rooted in racism, and are inevitably biased. A policy barring all Muslims, would be an ethnocentrist policy. The building of a wall between countries would be ethnocentrism, very symbolically.

And please don't compare that wall to the wall around the Vatican, which was a defensive parameter constructed when Italy was composed of city-states that often warred with one another.

He knows about them. He is just confused as to how to maximize his appeal.

Most who are against Sanders don't know what socialism is either.

You mean like how people believed Obama's Hope and Change promises? I couldn't believe the sheer number of otherwise reasonably intelligent people that actually believed Obama's Hope and Change. Seeing that really woke me up to just how many people are completely out of touch with reality.

I think many, maybe even most people have some reservations about Trump, and have some doubts that he could/would do everything he is saying. At least with Trump (that isn't owned by special interests groups) there is some reason to believe that he may try to do the things he is saying.
None of the prior, sitting or future presidents will do everything they said they would do. There is no president who has ever fulfilled their campaign promises. Sometimes they try and Congress won't go along, even when the majority party is aligned with the president and sometimes other priorities take precedent.

Despite these facts, the masses seem to convince themselves this time will be different, every 4-8 years.
