just wish he would drop the 'Socialist' label, maybe 'Democratic with leanings towards the middle and lower classes' might serve him better.
Ya, quit playing around and drop the socialist and own up to the Communist hammer & sickle.

What chaos?
The chaos the lunatic left losers cause, when they lose their figgin minds again?
We talking violence? Trump supporters are armed. How is that going to work for all those that fear firearms?
The economy in chaos? The US Dollar is the worlds currency... When you can print your own money, you have options. Ruling the money and you rule the world. Go back on the gold standard and watch the banking rich crap their pants. The Social Credit Score is coming to the US faster than anyone thinks. A paperless money world and the banks control you.


If the election would be held today, Trump would mop the floor with any Democrat they choose.

If anyone finds something wrong with "socialism" then they must also find fault with US programs like Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid to name a few. Labeling Bernie with the term "socialism" is a good thing. However, if you are a conservative who believes that "socialism" is wrong why not refuse your Social Security and live on your own merits?

Why haven't those that stand by those beliefs forgo their own SS? Bernie collected $46,000+ of SS - more than twice what my husband will get - if they truly believe in share the wealth - and that includes all leftists - socialists or not - why aren't they walking the walk?

No - they are living behind gated communities - have armed security - and vacation on your dime as many take gov't transport. If you truly want people to believe in you and your cause - you have to walk the walk and talk the talk literally - not just continue to BS people.

I'd go for Biden. Sanders is great, but one essential skill (lacking in Trump as well), is the ability to build bridges, create bonds, and make compromises.

But I like that he's taking the curse off the word "socialist."
Just because the President hasn't built a bridge to some obscure nutcases, doesn't mean he hasn't built bridges. He has, is, and will continue to do so, mindless protestations notwithstanding..

Yep, that is proof that Trump sports an IQ < 75.

Barring a severe economic downturn Trump will be reelected for a second term but the left will never understand it because everyone, and I mean everyone, hates him! At least that is the view from the left because they seldom run into a Trump supporter.

Wonder what would happen to me, I am nearing 71 years old, if I walked down a Berkeley street wearing my MAGA hat?

Yes, I am one of the deplorables, never been to a rally, never marched, never screamed politics but I always vote just like I will in November 2020. My vote will be for Trump and the more the left attacks Trump the more sure he can be of my vote.

I receive a social security check of $3,000/month because I EARNED IT by working for 54 years before I took it. Let me repeat that, I EARNED IT. In case you are wondering why so high I didn't start collecting until age 70.

About 4 years ago I calculated on a spreadsheet what I would have if from 1965 (that was the first year I got a W2) if I had simply saved what I paid into social security, along with my employers contribution, simply saving in in a standard bank savings account. For interests rates paid I found a site that had average interests rates by year.

There were period in the 70's and 80's when interest was whole lot higher than today.

If I had done that I would have right around $800,000.

$800,000 divided by $3,000 is 266 months of payments. That's 22 years until I break even at age 92 if I live that long.

So let me get this straight. If I put money into a CD to earn interest that's socialism?

Sanders, great ideas, but who pays for the great ideas. everything is free, schooling, housing, vacation
medical care. Trillions and Trillions of dollars on top of our current 20 trillion dollars debt. Where do
we get Trillions and Trillions of dollars to pay for all the free stuff ????????????

Take all the money from the top 10 percent rich people. you might have enough money to run the
government for a couple of years, less if everything is free.

It’s really scary that so many would vote for Trump again.
