You tell 'em Bernie. Trump's "great economy" and stock market highs don't do a damn thing for the $10 per hour worker who doesn't have health insurance.

We will always have the wealthy, the middle class and the poor. That's fine as long as there's a level playing field. We don't have that now. The playing field is tilted towards the rich, that's why money keeps rolling into their pockets. And it ain't "trickling down."
The stock market’s rise has certainly done this 65k a year worker with a 401K a damn good thing.

It’s your job to make sure you aren’t a $10 an hour worker.

I wish he had dwelt more on the golf. It's significant for additional reasons:

1. Trump insulted Obama for playing golf, saying that he, Trump, would never do that. Of course, Trump is golfing even more, indicating his hypocrisy.

2. Apart from Trump vacationing so much at taxpayer expense, it's also in part to shore up the prestige and value of his properties. So taxpayers are basically paying for Trump to promote his private businesses to further enrich himself.

I guess I wouldn't take economic and investment advice from someone who has done very little with his financial resources over 50 years.

The fact Trump is a scumbag doesn’t justify Bernie’s agenda

Politicians DO care about the middle class. They are counting on us to fund all of the handouts and "free" stuff they are promising to buy votes.

Ok not a Trump fan but, The Obama's took separate vacations. Effectively doubling the cost to the tax payers. They seemed to surround themselves with clingers.

Do you really expect Trump to take his business to his competition? What sane person would do that?

Trump could vacation at Camp David, but are we holding him to a standard that others aren't held to?

Well Bernie my retirement accounts are doing very well. My investments are solid. Not because of of Trump, or Obama or any other politician like you. More like in spite of money grabbers like you.

No thank you Bernie, I don't want any of what you are selling.
True. A whacked out socialist who has been nursing off the Government teet his entire career is going to save us all

Latest poll has Bernie at +4 over Trump. Bernie generally polls as well against Trump as Biden does.

Trump will once again lose the popular vote in 2020. No matter who the Dem candidate is it'll be a close election.
