Well, apparently you haven't read further - the parts that say Bernie tends to appeal to TRUMP VOTERS more than any other Dem Candidate......

Interesting....

Like I said, we'll see.

One thing all of these neoliberals risk doing is splintering the votes between themselves to the point that Bernie ends up winning with only a simple majority of delegates. His base is fervently loyal, unlike the Betos, Bookers, Buttigiegs, etc.

Neoliberals will continue business as usual under a R just as they would a D, what they don't want is the same as what the Neoconservatives don't want.

A magic 8 ball could make better decisions than Trump so my hope is that anyone BUT Trump is POTUS in 2020. Trump is like your senile uncle at Thanksgiving who keeps scratching his private parts in public and wiping his nose with his sleeve but no one dare say anything to him.

And it'll fail just like his Democratic predecessor Obama. Remember how you all thought Obamacare was going to be this bright shining idea?

Interesting that you allude to Senator Joseph McCarthy (i.e., the "drunk Senator from Wisconsin", as you referred to him) in relation to Donald Trump. I recall reading that Donald Trump was a protege of Roy Cohn (Joseph McCarthy's chief counsel/attorney and a prime enabler of McCarthy). How telling!

Interesting detail: It turns out that Roy Cohn was gay (which Donald Trump was said to know about) and he ultimately died in 1986 of complications from AIDS. Would far right- winger Joseph McCarthy have known that Roy Cohn was gay and had him as his chief counsel/attorney and enabler if he knew of this? And as well, interestingly (according to enough reports from varied sources), J. Edgar Hoover (the founder of the U.S.'s FBI or Federal Bureau of investigation), also known to be a strong right-winger, was also said to be gay and had a long-time male partner. They are even buried next to one another. So would Roy Cohn and J. Edgar Hoover both have openly supported LGBTQ rights (with each of them also being gay themselves)?

I hate to burst anyone`s little snot bubble but it`s the GOP`s base that`s collecting most of the free stuff.

Nope -- he's right - you just don't want to hear it. This is what happens when you have decades of left wing indoctrination in schools and universities.
