The Democratic Party is pretty corrupt as we saw in NH where Sanders blew Clinton away, yet their delegates were nearly the same.

This free stuff crap is getting ridiculous. I'm in the top 5% and I support Sanders. 95% of the Sanders supporters on Facebook feed have jobs and many of them are also 5%ers. Just another talk radio mantra the right wing media lemmings regurgitate.

I think it would be a good idea to have debates in which both parties' candidates participate before each party's nomination.
The loon from the right debating the loon from the left. Should be good comic relief. Ol' Bern will probably be in tears within 5 minutes though.

^^^^^^ I'm glad to see this. I'm not sure I will personally benefit much from some of the policies proposed by Bernie, but I don't base my vote on personal interest.

Dumb people fail to see true intelligence. Throughout all the debates Bernie proved to be the most intelligent and quick witted of all candidates, beside being the most honest, sincere, respectful and civil. Dumbheads could only see his white hair and nice gentleman look as if that makes him weak. Try have a debate with Bernie, you'll be in coma within 5 minutes.

Bern comes off as a ranting, raving old kook. All he does is attack "the rich" and promise free stuff he has no way to pay for. Works for people that still believe in Santa Claus, but not for most adults. He's the left's equivalent of Trump, but without any accomplishments. Good for comic relief.

Hopefully this will allow Bernie to make it or break it...I am hoping for him to make it.

This post is ridiculous. Like PCALMike, you rely on insulting fellow voters in an effort to defend your favorite candidate. Do you realize how petty and foolish that is? Calling people "dumbheads" doesn't elevate your own intellect. Attack the ideas, not the poster.

The things he's proposing are fairly standard in Western Europe and Canada.. You'd think he's proposing seizing control of the oil industry or something with the rhetoric against him. Santa Claus is a myth, universal health care is a very mainstream thing everywhere except the US.


Seems like your Santa Claus is Rush Limbaugh. He sells you and others a bunch of BS about how "extreme" someone like Bernie Sanders is and you buy it.

No one really knows if this will work or not
