Bernie Sanders is probably going to win both the nomination and presidency...

Bernie is steamrolling in fundraising without begging Trump’s billionaire donors for scraps. He has the most grassroots support, the most diverse support, and the loyal support. He’s extremely popular with the Democratic base. He has enthusiastic support. In addition, Bernie is popular in Trump country. Trump has nothing on Bernie because he’s not corrupt. He can’t run to to left of Sanders like he did Hillary. Short of Bernie’s ticker failing, I can’t envision a scenario in which he doesn’t whip Trump easily. He just has to wrap up this nomination. Let’s be real, Corporate Dems won’t take this lying down.

If beating Trump is priority #1, Bernie is the one to bet on. He has the resources, the popularity, the support, and is a social democrat in the mold of FDR.

You must be right. The money Hillary spent in the last election certainly helped her win the election.

Why such crude commentary?

Young people are increasingly left behind with this atrocious crapitalist economy. So instead of looking at their complaints objectively, you demonize them endlessly.

Perhaps if you and the rest of the older generation would just shut the **** up and listen for once we could do something reasonable. As it stands, the refusal to listen and take seriously the concerns of folks that aren't you is driving people toward socialism and marxism and communism; and just so, since we 1984'd marxism 70 some odd years ago in a quest to keep the rubes uneducated about the best criticism of capitalism ever written.

Our economy is booming. More people than ever are working. More new businesses are starting. More people are still coming to this country for economic freedom and opportunity. And then you have those mindless twats that go to colleges and have their heads filled with the commie/Marxist bull**** by professors in an education system that is ****ing them coming and going.

See...heres the beauty of OUR capitalist syste...it ALLOWS for people like these muppets and any other commie/marxist moron to create the business enitities and models that they CLAIM are and will be successful. But they dont...do they. None of the idiot leftists do. Rather than talk **** about Capitalism, why arent they LIVING the socio Marxist models they endorse? I dont have to LISTEN to those ****ing morons... because I know what they say is idiocy. Its classic watching them argue with a man that literally lived under the type of rule they are clamoring for and seeing those idiots lack the wisdom and grace to realize that MAYBE they have been conned and lied to and the **** they are spouting is all just mindless leftist rhetoric.

Notice that the gloaters completely ignore that Trump raised $46 million last quarter, its fourth-quarter total was its best of the 2020 cycle so far, topping its previous high of $41 million.

Once you drop the incendiary, inflammatory name calling, we can have a conversation about this. Until then, sashay away leonard.

Irrelevant. His money is corrupted by PAC and corporate influence. He is a man of the oligarchs and is a shill. He is anti-worker, and anti you and I.
 
The DNC will NEVER allow Bernie be the democrat candidate.

The current Democratic presidential contenders and the Democratic National Committee combined raised over $450 million in the last year — more than President Donald Trump’s reelection machine brought in during that time.

So the fact is that the Dems raised twice as much as Trump, which will continue when the Dems have their candidate. Oh, yeah, the Dems will crow about that.

You wish it were irrelevant.

Bernie Sanders never held a job in the private sector. What would he know about the American worker?

You dont have conversations. You have rhetoric. And all you are doing now is making an excuse to not have to answer to the facts. Whats truly sad is you actually think like those kids in that video.

Not sure that's true. He had a lot of various jobs after college, including working as a carpenter. So it's likely that he had some private sector job at some point.

I stand corrected. He did work a few menial jobs like teacher's aide, freelance writer, and as a carpenter.
His campaign would not verify if any of his work history included full time employment. At one time he collected unemployment while running for office.
Real impressive resume stuff for a U of Chicago grad. who purports to know all about the American worker.
Let's face it, he's just another career politician with a mile long shtick based on class warfare.

He's certainly a career politician, somewhat entertaining to watch. But I don't think we should elect a President on entertainment factor alone. Hopefully we've learned that lesson.

The only thing we can even compare them to are the Democrats from earlier in the 20th century. The middle class seemed to do pretty well then.

He had no chance of beating Hillary. Even with the rich and powerful backing Hillary with their money and the media. Polls are indicators of those who participated in the polls think. The sad truth the hard working American who works 2 jobs and still finds time for their family has no time or interest for polls.

You think all the people giving to Warren now will give to Bernie later or that people giving to Bernie now will give to Biden later. That's not going to happen. However, it's irrelevant anyway because none of them can get close to beating Trump.

Without a doubt the candidate will outraise Trump and beat him like a drum.

Ummmm...maybe you where unaware, but Sanders has never been a democrat, except when he wanted something from the party. He wanted plum committee assignments, so he sold his vote to democrats for them. He wanted the resources to become president, but did not have them as an independent, so he decides all of a sudden he is a democrat. So no, he is not a leader of the democrats, nor has he helped democrats(kinda the opposite really), and complaining about others being corrupt is hilarious.

Oh my God, finally someone who gets the piece of s... that Sanders is. I've been saying the same forever, and these Bernie or Bust idiots keep spouting nonsense, and rarely there is a voice of reason like yours to counter their idiocy. Well done!

Well, fortunately. Why should the DNC support a loser like Sanders who isn't even a Democrat? The sooner that moron is out, the better.

Bernie supporters who didnt back hillary in the general were around 12%. That is close to average. Which means your notion of Bernie supporters is ignorant and fraudulent.
Click to expand...

12% was more than enough to tilt the election towards Trump. And I guess the other 88% weren't members of the Bernie or Bust faction. Good for them.

Look, there was a movement called freaking BERNIE OR BUST and you dispute the notion that the idiotic members of this movement sat out or joined the enemy??? Why in the hell would they call themselves Bernie or Bust if they didn't want to do this??? And I'm the ignorant and fraudulent one? LOL, too funny. If you didn't exist, you'd need to be invented so that we could laugh harder.

My intellectual respect for rabid Bernie fans is not only zero, but actually negative. I consider these people to be among the dumbest voters the United States has ever had the displeasure of birthing. They are a low dirty shame.
