Funny. A candidate who is not owned by Wall Street announces and is immediately dismissed as a "wingnut". We have all been thoroughly indoctrinated by our money-masters. It is no wonder that we have the kind of government that we have.

How does that argument even make sense in your mind ????

Republicans have been saying this for years about people who they see as a threat to their own security and wealth. Obama is the most dangerous man in America, according to them, but once someone else comes along who promises to shake up the system and all of a sudden the Kenyan socialist vegan isn't too bad of a guy. Just look things from Lindsey Graham's perspective, and the perspective of most conservatives and their constituents.
Compared to Ron Paul, Obama is a pretty good guy.
Compared to Rand Paul's foreign policy, Obama is a pretty good guy.
Compared to Bernie Sanders, Obama is a pretty good guy.
Republicans are scared of the "wing nuts" (the Pauls are included in that category) and they are perfectly content with living with people like Obama and now Hillary, who won't step on their toes too much in contrast with people like Sanders, Warren, etc.
So the problem is that our total security and wealth is at risk: everyone's, the average, the top, the middle, the bottom.
The source of the most unprecedentedly wealthy society in all of human history has been a free people, making their own decision for their own benefit, in a mostly free market.
The notion that central planners could somehow improve on this outcome is laughable on its face, but the Warrens and Sanders of the world aren't laughing--they are serious.
I care about my position, but the systemic threat is a far greater concern. Obama has hurt the system, has hurt employment, has hurt incomes at every level (except the 1%)....and the newer crop of wingnuts would do far more damage,
I hope so. Unlike Hillary, Sanders is a real progressive. It's time to pull the Democratic party back to the left. A debate between right-of-center Hillary and left-of-center Sanders would help.

He is a self declared socialist hopes he pulls the dems left also

It should be great material for Ted to use, for the knockout punch.
