People did lose their insurance or were priced out of it under Obamacare. There are many people who had to make a decision over paying for mandated health insurance or paying their mortgage. Many people fell between the cracks. They didn't make enough to afford it but too much to get help with the cost.

With Obamacare there were winners and losers.
With the GOP care there will be winners and losers but the Left is predicting there will be nothing but losers and there will be dead bodies in the streets.

We can't win so the best thing would be if the Feds got out of healthcare altogether.

That sounds a lot like our Dear Leader. Trump said exactly the same things to the same people.

And who doesn't like free stuff? Remember that the Mexicans are going to pay for the wall, not us.

Sometimes its not what is said but how its said. Bernie has the same hateful delivery of Clinton and Warren.

The Mexicans are paying for the wall now. Illegal crossing down 70% results in a huge cut to remittances sent back to Mexico. Trump is the wall and Mexico is paying for it.

Noo, I see that your confused as well. Why should the mega rich pay the same taxes and in many cases lower as the working class?


So I guess us blue color people are low? Even though we are the ones who work the hardest and pay the most.

Before public office Bernie Sanders personal life was a financial, train wreck. Even now after 23+ years of a 6 figure salary he has less assets than I do and I have never made a 6 figure salary. He isn't the one to go to for financial advice.

Especially since his wife has the potential to call prison her next home.

This I agree with. Give him a beer and stand back.

Could be true-why not start a thread on the "free stuff" Trump has promised? This one is about BS Sanders.

Honestly-most "blue collar" people see through his BS and realize that all the handouts he promises, should they come to pass, will largely be paid by them. BS mostly appeals to non-working individuals and unskilled burger flippers. Not your typical blue collar workers.
