White working class blue color folks are struggling everywhere. It pains me greatly to read the words of this out of touch NE liberal who has never known real work in his life.

As I drive around the Tampa Bay area, I always notice the hard working trades people in vans and trucks often pulling trailers with debris from a job, or loaded with tools for the next job.

As we set at a traffic light, I observe a truck that looks like it is about to break down, on tires that look like they are about to blow. Usually the driver is a young to middle aged white male.

I think about the work this guy is doing, the service he is providing. He is a plumber, an electrician, a landscaper, a roofer, a handyman. And I worry for him. He is out on a limb both literally and figuratively. One accident, one sickness and his income is gone. I wonder how he would pay his bills.

Some of these guys do ok, and many struggle. But they enjoy their independence. They are their own boss.

Bernie is a despicable nincompoop. He simplictically and diabolically tries to equate poverty with race. In his world Americans are all children and he is Santa Claus.

Hey Bernie! The next time your toilet over flows with all the bullshit you are extruding, I hope the working class white guy in the pick up truck cant find your address and leaves you wallowing in your sludge.

“...you don’t know what it’s like to be poor.”

Actually, Wild Hair, the U.S. ‘poor’ don’t know what it’s like to be POOR.

Running water, A/C, heat, food (to the point of being obese), cell phone(s), TV(s), car(s), etc....all thanks to the (forced) ‘voluntary’ welfare of the TAXPAYER.

Yes, he's an imbecile, and a demagogue, but he'd be the best possible choice of the Demagogic Party. If Sanders gets the nomination, it'll be a lot like a replay of the 1972 election. If Clinton gets the nod, it'll be a lot like a replay of the 1968 election.

In my case he is right.

While there was a time in my life that I had no money, I was never poor. BUT I took stock of myself, made a plan, learned what it took to move out of poverty, worked hard to execute the plan without the help of government, paid back generously everyone who helped me and now am helping others.

Sanders will only succeed on the backs of others.

Sanders: Out of touch and into kiss-butt pander mode....

Then again if it weren’t for ‘the black vote’, white liberal elites wouldn’t be able to elect a dog catcher.

As a kid from a very poor single mom who refused welfare and being in the 2nd to last white family to move from 170th Street in Da Bronx I know exactly what it’s like to have “BEEN” poor and what it’s like to live in a ghetto!

Many of us have been dirt poor. You never went to school in the same pair of pants for weeks at a time because that was all you had. I did in senior year in high school. Some nights we sat down to dinner when all we were having was several cocktail wieners and a couple spoons full of baked beans. You never knew poor. I did. I object to you saying white people were never poor. You do not know.
