So you are one of the 10 people that watched this debate?

My friend Teddyballgame,

10 mil and me. I had some mild interest in hearing those who might possibly be the next President of the USA, cuz no one on the GOP side (who could have easily stolen my vote) will see the need to make anything different. Forget Cruz, he's a lightweight, has some stuff you agree with philosophically, but is basically the same thing only different. But he ain't identifying nothing, never mind fixing.

That, and the games had ended. What were you watching? HA!

I look at it this way re: Bernie. Most people's research begins and ends with the word "Socialist", and it is undeniable, but it is an adjective, not an obsession. So Marketing 101...mission accomplished, no need to hear one frigging word he says. Lazy Americans resulting in more high office holders owned by the very people that have caused most of what ails us like Wall Street eg.

Never mind his solutions, though you would like some, but he is the ONLY candidate (now that Paul has been marginalized by his own team) unencumbered and correctly identifying what is broken.

I want the problems being screamed at full volume until the national debate is how to fix, rather than burying the reasons. 4 or 8 more years of anyone else will not do it.

Find what he said last night about what is wrong. Then all of us can debate what to do. He was great last night, the best performance on either side to date.

And don't worry about socialism. Nothing that left will ever get passed through Congress.

Famous last words.

We can't ignore "socialist" as an adjective any more than we could ignore "racist". It need not be an obsession to be a concern.

Reparations alone is reason to be afraid of Bernie. Add to that his expanded medicare health solution and everyone thinks their HC costs are going to drop yet services remain the same.
You know. Because the federal government is the most adept at handling such an institution efficiently.
You know. Like they always do...

If you really want to be honest, you would say that Bernie is the only one that's not a fraud. The big banks and Wall street nearly put us in a depression and will do so again if they are left to run rampant. If anyone hates free choice it's the republicans- they specialize in hate and are owned by big money. Bernie has lots of good ideas that could swing this country back to a democracy rather that the current kakocracy.

LOL. What a stooge.

Big Banks are the blame, is basically Bernie's schtick. And you know whose been knee deep in the financial system? government. Specifically progressives. Making things "fair."

And the brain-dead of this society keep falling for the same ploy. Some "good guy" talks about evil Wall Street for more control. They implement a bunch of idiotic "social reforms" and things get even worse. And people like you fall for it every...single...time.

Socialists like Bernie are a pox on humanity. It's because despite the moniker "democratic" in their title, they HATE free choice. They don't like people making their own decisions about their lives. No socialist does. Because socialism is all about central control of people's lives. Hence the word "social" in the name.

So Bernie is a fraud. And he's a fraud who has been in government or decades, calling the people who have created the majority of this mess his "friends" and "colleagues". No criticism of them, and their apparent failure to do what they said they'd do. No, for Bernie it's still the same evil villain.

And let's be honest, shall we? The only reason this guy is getting any traction is because Hillary is running.
