The only good coming out of this situation, as I have already mentioned, is:

a) I'm close to retirement so the freebies they give away will benefit me.
b) I won't have to pay for their drunkin spending spree
c) They I'll have tons of low paying free trade jobs so they can work extra hours to pay for it.

There are definitely perks with Brainless Bernie.
We've had socialism for the rich and the powerful for close to 40 years with the GOP as the big money donor class bought the politicians on both sides of the isle. Where were you then?

Sanders is the only candidate who is beholden to no one but the people. He doesnt take the money of the special interests and will fight for ordinary, salt of the earth Americans, not the billionaire class. What a change that would be! We have to go back to the FDR democrats of the post-war era you grew up in to find that!

Of course the middle class will be paying for free college for all and he hasn't a clue on how to break up the big banks.

Oh, puleeze! Democrats don't play in the same playground as Republicans. The Democratic party, even the New Dealer's were made up of Democrats who would think of Hillary as the second coming of Mother Jones. The third way of the Clinton DLC (not my cup of tea) but legit Democrats nonetheless.

Hillary knows it as well, what a disaster it is, but she's afraid to denounce it as she's awaiting Obama's endorsement!
No, she's afraid Obama will turn loose the DOJ on her for the email server.

I'm surprised that she is that popular despite the whole classified email federal investigation going on with her.

Yes, so am I. However, maybe there are millions people around the country who believe someone who has never been found guilty of anything deserves the benefit of the doubt. After all, there isn't anyone in politics today who has been under as much scrutiny as Hillary. Numerous investigations, hearings, 11 hours of grilling....the false claims against Hillary are more rumor than reality.

I haven't heard that one before. "Socialism for the rich?"

Definition:

[url=http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/socialism]Socialism | Definition of Socialism by Merriam-Webster[/url]

"a way of organizing a society in which major industries are owned and controlled by the government rather than by individual people and companies"

I keep hearing from Bernie Sanders that it's the other way around, that the major industries (and banks) own the people running the government.

How many of these "false claims" have gone to trial to prove her innocence? There have been so many allegations buried in the name of politics with the Clintons, that would have resulted in centuries of incarceration for unconnected people. BTW, your link does not work.

Agreed. There have been a LOT of nasty rumors about Hillary for well over 10 years now. IMHO that woman's toxic. Too; Sanders is winning state after state so Hillary ain't bulletproof. Neither is Trump since Cruz is starting to be a real threat to him.

I should re-check links after posting. Sorry. If you hate Hillary, you'll love the picture, but it's only showing the way so many of her opponents depict her. See if this link works now.
