Tthis country is not healthy financially and economically exactly because we have policies are contrary to Sanders' views. We have the richest taking more and more of national income.

And continuing what we've been doing for the past 36 years is going to make it better?

The real question is whether Sander's supporters will support Hillary if she gets the nomination. They are very loudly and proudly anti-Hillary at this point. Will they actually eat crow if necessary? That shucking and jiving will be fun to watch!

huh? Not voting for sanders is saying continuing what we've been doing for the past 36 years is going to make it better? Who knew?

I've never voted anybody in democratic or repubican party. But then again, I once voted once after I became legal age. Third party.

I answered a simple question op asked. Not interested in a debate.

Wait a second. After literally years of you bragging, stumping, and slobbering over Barack Obama's alleged economic success, you turn tail and run from that position with this post? After years of intellectually dishonest and fundamentally disingenuous charts, diagrams, economic articles, and downright lies and distortions, you magically find solace in Bernie Sanders economic policies? After years of literally lobbying for All Things Barack Hussein Obama™ you slither out from your rock and imply that you were just kidding?

Yep, liberalism is a mental disease. Someone should take your guns. And fully discredit anything you say from this point forward.

Would I vote for him? He is the only candidate on either side who deserves to be president and whom I would trust as president. The question is would I vote for Hillary if she is our candidate? And the answer there, is I wouldn't like but yes I would, as she is VASTLY superior to any republican option. [MOD CUT/off topic]

Yeah, obviously we need to give even more TRILLIONS in made up money to less than 1% of the population via bailouts and quantitative easing. The "too big to fail" banks need to control even more of our economy.

It doesn't matter that the incomes for 90% of the American population are in stagnation or decline. It doesn't matter that consumer spending constitutes 70% of our GDP and economy. We need to keep funneling TRILLIONs to a fraction of the population, who generally hoards, and keep the financial power structure in place.

More bailouts!
More corruption!
More collusion!

Don't stop until the US is just another "banana republic"!

Building the largest middle class in the history of the World was just a glitch in American history.

Bernie is the ONLY major candidate not funded and supported by Goldman Sachs. We should realize that, and not disagree with Goldman-who has funded/supported every elected President in recent memory. Goldman likes Hillary Clinton and Ted Cruz the most-those choices should be good enough.

I am an independent that currently leans conservative, so I didn't vote.
I've watched Sanders, and respect his commitment and integrity, but have real concerns about him.
Besides all the free stuff, he seems so light on many policies. For example at the town hall last night victim of the Boston bombing asked him about protecting Americans from terrorism here, and he said he was for bringing in refugees from terrorist countries, but would make sure they were scrutinized really well.

But our officials have said repeatedly there is no way we can vet these refugees adequately. No follow up from Anderson.
Had same generic safe-type answer on how to stop police profiling of blacks.
They just let Sanders get away with these lightweight answers. No details or specificity.
