Ridiculous hyperbole.
You would say that. You are complicit.

You want Bernie to be dem's nominee?
Be careful about what you ask for.

But you do know that with 4 more years of Trump we will have no country left to save. Is this really the time to go for broke? That is what I question.
The DNC is scrambling trying to figure out a way to keep Bernie off the ticket. They know Bernie would lose bigly to Trump.
Sure, young voters will vote for Bernie, but independents and moderate dems are terrified of Bernie's $35 Trillion (over 10 yrs) M4A plan.
The tax hikes will be devastating to middle-class, and that could spell the end of the Democratic Party.
trump is a crisis. I think a bigger crisis - and one that helps trump happen - is our country's move to plutocracy, under both Republicans (complete plutocracy) and Democrats (plutocracy-light). Bernie is a historic candidate who will help the country's 40 year wrong direction. We don't get a lot of such chances. I think Bernie is lower risk, not higher. He seems radical left because the governing has gone radical right.
Look, it really comes down to this for me.
Do I want to unseat an incumbent who has an economy that is chugging along, policies that are largely benign, but has a terrible personality? Or, on the other hand, do I want to install someone who is a radical divergence from everything this country has known in a pursuit of known failed policies that would upend the economy?
Like they knew trump would lose bigly to Hillary.
Ya, saving $20 trillion over the CURRENT system's more than $50 trillion costs, with a program that most of the country wants, the horror.
REDUCING the expenses to the middle class.
Devastating!
Such good arguments.
Yeah, I get it, Bernie's a "socialist" and repubs are going to paint him as commie pinko who goose-steps to the Soviet National anthem.
See, what repubs fail to realize is that, unlike republicans, dems and liberals and left leaning independents are not stupid to swallow that kind of right wing propaganda.
Bernie will excite dems like no other candidate. The mod left will hold their nose and vote for him, anyway. The reverse is much less true. That is why Bernie is the one to beat Trump, he will garner more votes overall.
If Bernie remains the front runner and there is a brokered convention, and the party elites pick a moderate, then Trump has a chance.
But not with Bernie, he will crush Trump.

You do not need to sell me but that does not mean he will win. It's a dangerous gamble we don't need to make. I hope it works out.
Ummm.. the fact is it wasn't the DNC who predicted that Trump would lose bigly to Hillary - - - that was the fake news pollsters on CNN, MSNBC, Huffington Post, WaPo, NY Times, et. al.Like they knew trump would lose bigly to Hillary.
Bernie is giving Trump a healthcare plan and it is the one that 158 million people already have and think is good. They are wrong but you won't convince them of it. That was the plan from the start, the insurers knew people would not want to give up their perk and they still don't. No matter what you tell them they will not think MFA will be as good as what they have. It's a huge problem for Sanders.

You are blind and entranced if you didn't see that his behavior in Helsinki was treasonous. No President should doubt our intelligence services while standing with our worst adversary. He should have been fired on the spot. Trump is actively breaking our alliances and kissing up to our enemies. Putin has taken Venezuela and all their oil without a peep from Trump. He withdrew from Syria and handed our military bases over to Putin. I could go on and on but like I said you are entranced by a lying demagogue. Look it up if you do not know what that means.
Bernie's policies will be met by Congress who will "adjust" them so they are in line with American values. Trump will continue to weaken and divide us while he lulls you with his lies. God help us.

Entranced? I didn't vote for Trump in 16, I find him a reprehensible human being, but I will support him over Bernie or Warren all day long. Which alliances is Trump breaking up? You are seemingly referring to NATO where Germany has been refusing to meet their defense spending requirements while at the same time pumping tens of billions a year into Russia's coffers. Who is on which team there? Secondly, you think Russia is our worst adversary? In what world? Russia is a dying and deteriorating nation, their economy is garbage, their military is a joke. Our biggest threat is hands down China both militarily and economically.
You talk about Venezuela? What success has Putin had there that I have missed. Last time I checked PDVSA's oil output is at ~10% of where it was 10 years ago, they can't refine it, they can't ship it, they can't sell it. Why would Putin even give a **** about Venezuelan oil? Russia has more energy than they will ever need.
Lastly, you are upset about a POTUS who is getting us *out* of wars? As someone who spent time in that region, I am happy as hell we are withdrawing from the endless quagmires of the middle-east. Let them all slaughter one another, I give zero ****s.
Does Bernie strike you as a guy who "adjusts"? I think his entire platform is against adjusting.
But please, run Bernie, enjoy Trump for 4 more.
which is meaningless if Trump blows Bernie out.
this whole thing comes down to if some normal folks in 3-4 swing states can vote for Bernie. i just don't see it.
I definitely want Bernie to be the Dem nominee!

I agree, be careful what you ask for. Bernie is building the same kind of momentum he had last time before the dems decided to derail him.
Everyone knows our country is all crapped up. We need something different and bernie is it. He excites people and he's genuine.
And yet 71 of 72 counties in Wisconsin voted for Bernie over Hillary. As I've always said, misguided Democrats are our country's biggest obstacle to getting the nominee we need.

The presidency is not a dictatorship. Anything he proposes has to go through Congress. And it is disingenuous to talk about health care costs and ignore the fact we spend more on health care than any other country, all while corporations are profiting off the sick and dying. Other developed countries are far happier with their 'socialist' health care.
