Most of those issues are created by the government in the first place. The wars, the banking mess. etc.

Having a straight shooter who wants the government to work for all of us, not simply wealthy campaign donors is a man who should be POTUS.

Great, let me know when we find that person, but for now all we have is an unelectable "democratic socialist" that wants to lie to us about how he is going to make college tuition free, who wants to force employers to pay a completely arbitrary "living wage" and doesn't think that everything from climate change to paper cuts are to be blamed on "Wall Street"

The "unelectable" one is the one with the highest favorability ratings of all candidates in the race btw. People are tired of puppet candidates who make the government work for their wealthy campaign donors, not the voters. Of course, Time Warner and Comcast who own huge sections of the media and are big campaign contributors are doing everything in their power to delegitimize the people's candidate, because they are afraid of losing their power. Dont believe a word of it. Flush your pre-conceived notions and have an open mind.

By and large climate change is the fault of "Wall Street" and after being discussed, I'd even bet you would agree. Who do you think is pushing things like cap and trade?

Bernie and Trump are actually similar in goals. I like Bernie but he needs to include Mexico with China. They are sucking the life out of us from both ends.

Little Rubio just doesn't have the zing in his zingers that Trump does. He needs to give it up. He's not authentic at all, and being authentic is a large part of Trump's appeal. He's real. Rubio is such a phony. Even when he's trying to zing Trump, he sounds as though he rehearsed it the night before, and then gives this buck-toothed grin that is obviously fake. He's been told by his handlers what to say and what to do.

Little Rubio is a good puppet and performs on cue.

Great, then by all means because he has a high favorability rating lets go ahead and elect him...I mean he is a nice guy and all so I guess he should run the largest most powerful country in the world...which makes me wonder, why as a nation we never had the foresight to elect Mr. Rodgers...I mean how nice would that be, neighbor? Hold on while I button up my cardigan and juggle my shoes.

I have a very open mind, and its a logical mind too, which tells me that he is nothing more than a carnival barker and liar just like people accuse Trump of being. This whole 'free tuition' and debt free education is the most ridiculous unworkable thing I've heard of and thats just scratching the surface of his socialist attempts to buy votes....just like you say the big corporations try to buy candidates (which clearly they do) its no different than the candidate trying to buy voters in this case.

All it really proves is that Rubio will be anything it takes to get elected. He will be your daddy if it gets your vote. He is an actor who has been provided a script by the director. He memorizes it and regurgitates it on que. He is the organ grinders best friend. A little monkey that gets money in the cup.
