I really don't know anything about him or his policies. But I admit to being impressed that he had the honesty to admit something that no other candidates did. That "Medicare for All" will destroy the health care industry if reimbursement rates are not adjusted dramatically upwards. He at least acknowledges that reimbursement rates are less than the cost of care-and that "carrying" these costs falls on the backs of people that have to pay their own way.

He seems to have a few reasonable ideas, along with some really bad ones. For example, his carbon tax would likely be devastating to the economy, and it won't make any difference anyway. According to IPCC models, if the US cut CO2 emissions 100% today, the earths temp would be 0.137 degree lower 81 years from now. That's a lot of pain for what amounts to no gain. https://www.heritage.org/environment...lations-primer

He wants to ban so called "assault weapons", and pass "common sense" gun laws (whatever those are), wants amnesty, increased immigration, and more "refugees" brought here.

He may be less of a loon, but not by much.

Better to offer tax breaks, as money talks, to businesses that meet a set environmental standard. Make businesses responsible for cleaning up any negative environmental impact they may cause.

Offering more tax rebates and incentives to consumers who purchase more environmental friendly products such as a hydrogen car. Example of a tax break could be a rebate of their property tax on their car or sales tax at purchase of the car.

Is there a reason you are unable to discuss something with calling people names?

He looked strange in the debate. Maybe that was just camera angle in the brief time he had, but others have noted his "crazy eyes." If he looks crazy from any angle, then he could try wearing glasses in the next debate.

I think both he and Cory Booker had downed a couple of monster energy drinks before the debate. Both were bug-eyed. And unlike with AOC, it's not a good look for them.
