It seems to be shaping up that Bernie is going to be the one running against Trump, at least at this moment. I think he has a better shot at defeating Trump than any of the others, and even blacks and latinos seem to like him, as well as young voters.

While I would have no problem with a female or gay candidate (Pete), I know the world we live in pretty well, and we have not yet evolved as a country to the point where a woman or gay man has a chance of winning...…….that is sad, but true. Maybe in 10 or 20 years, but not today. Too many people are still living in the early 1900's in their heads.

Sure I would. Bloomberg is a republican and a corporatist, but at least he is a successful one, not a charlatan flim-flam man like Trump. And he also disavows his racist past, unlike Trump who just just says "there are good people on both sides" or "you can talk to my lawyer about the housing discrimination charges." Nah, mealy mouth successful billionaire is better than sleazy con artist bankruptcy millionaire. Bloomberg would do a better job putting out fiscal house in order also. Trump is spending like a drunken sailor on shore leave (with no revenue to offset it!).

This, How could ANYONE in their right mind vote someone that says this?

Because anybody is better than the guy in the WH who is destroying our country. Why is that so hard to understand?

Don't worry. He will be retired before the primaries are over. Sad to see him aging like he is.

He literally says that "poor people deserve to be taxed more" and you still have the nerve to defend him? I get it, He wants the lower class to 'live longer' hence why he placed a ban on sugary drinks etc. but whats the point of living free when it isn't free to live and we're working for essentially nothing as our gains are being taxed away by greedy oligarchs like this one.
