The guy is really clueless on pretty much everything and hes a total idiot. . Boggles my mind how this guy became a billionaire with all this success. He has no freaking answer for any issues.

How did this guy ever get to where hes at? Having no resolutions to issues, acting like a total inept buffoon?
He ran chains of hotels and gambling casinos. He's a classic 80s business tycoon, who made even more money on various reality shows. He came by his money honestly.

Clinton made her money on politics.

I have no idea how Bernie Sanders made his money, and serious doubts about him.

I asked all the same questions about the guy in the White House today. I didn't get any answers then either....

Do google it to find out the details if you want to know. Maybe you're late to this and haven't been following?
Check on what he has said (he doesn't divulge his plans in detail, for good reason), but has said enough for us to know he has strategies.
His plan for getting Mexico to pay for the wall is charging fees to CEOs, diplomats, NAFTA worker permits and border crossings. Note how such feels would not impact H1B visa workers that he employs.

Figure each fee would need to be set in the $ 10-100 millions to pay for the wall. Can't begin to imagine what it will cost to eminent domain the privat land along the borders after the owners appeal.

I'm likely going to vote third party.

None of the front runners appeal to me.

Bernie's net worth has been estimated in the $300-500,000 range.

I am not a fan but do admire his consistently no different than Ron Paul.

So, he wants to build an expensive wall, increase military spending; increase benefits for vets, healthcare, the education system, etc., --- all while putting forth a tax-plan that slashes a trillion dollars a year from revenue.

IF he really gave a rat's ass for vets he wouldn't be labeling those captured in battle as LOSERS!


What a sanctimonious putz.

Trump inherited $ 1,000,000 when his father died and he turned it into $ 10 Billion. I don't believe that either you or I could do that. Say what you will, but Trump is a BRILLIANT businessman and real estate developer. That doesn't necessarily translate to politics or everyday life however. At the level that he does business, everyone's a killer and the weak get slaughtered, so he's learned to be tough. And the bankruptcies he had were actually brilliant business moves. It's not the same as when you or I lose our house, it's simply a strategy that many major corporations have employed. I'm for Rubio, so you can bash Trump all you want. Just be honest about his stellar business accomplishments.

I'm very sad. I'm reading it's because he's white and that means I don't have a chance.

Yeah, brilliant when you can leave some poor schmook holding a bag full of the detritus of your own screw ups, eh? Just what the country needs, a POTUS that leaves the people holding the bag.
