I will not vote for Warren or any democrat attempting to buy votes by offering government handouts. Ill do a write in again, because I damned sure won't vote for Trump either
This. His rise in the polls means people supporting him like his authoritarian stances, or are just too dim to apply rational thought.


He really isnt being questioned about his very radical views, by his supporters or the media.

I recently read yet another article regarding just that.

And with his age/health, what type of radical nutbag would he have as Vice President?

So are Biden and Bloomberg. Warren isn't a spring chicken either.

What's your point?

The problem with the Democrats is in its direction. Extremism and progressivism are killing any chance of that party remaining viable in the coming elections. They are nothing like they were fifty years ago.

Sad!
Not exactly. Read Andywire's quote, which is way more accurate.

And just who might those people be? I've never seen a weaker Democratic field than this one. Or, for that matter, one more insane.

I was listening to Bernie at his rally earlier today and the way he's going to pay for these new initiatives is by taxing Wall-street. The policies I very much disagree with Bernie, is giving illegal immigrants U.S. citizenship ( I think he said something like up to 20 million) and re-instating DACA--also giving them U.S. citizenship.

He is weak on crime for drug users which I feel is wrong and will only further drug use and sales.

I really like Bernie. He seems trustworthy for a politician and he's consistent on his message but will his agenda be good for ALL OF AMERICA?

Positives:
Protecting the environment, re-building our infrastructure, expanding universal health-care, reducing our spending overseas in terms of the endless wars, debt forgiveness for student loans, preserving medicare and social security, getting money out of politics, not accepting PAC money.....

He's got many good ideas, but how far can he get accomplishing them with congress who don't agree with those policies.

Bernie has many believers I think he's garnered more support from individual donations than ANY other candidate, that says A LOT!
