BERLIN, New Hampshire — Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) told a packed breakfast crowd at the White Mountain Chalet Caterers that the goal of his campaign was “transforming the economy and the government of the United States, so that it works for all of us and not just the one percent.”

Sanders spoke just moments after a new Gravis poll suggested that he had taken the lead in what is largely a three-way race in the Granite State, surpassing former vice president Joe Biden and Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA).

In other words:

Make America Venezuela!

Don't underestimate the number of voters that will resonate with.

Another side effect of the GOP giving Wall Street everything on their wish list for thirty-odd friggin' years.

Transforming the Economy and the Government

PDJT already did that and he is still doing it.

The hubris and arrogance of Sanders and his type just amazes me. For them to think they could “design” an economy better than the “invisible hand” is just preposterous. Central planning has never succeeded anywhere and always leads to shortages, want and misery. “Industrial policy” is almost as bad.

There is nothing better than companies duking it out in the brutally competitive marketplace and hundreds of millions of consumers voting with their dollars every single day. If you make the best product at the best price, you win and prosper. If you don’t, you are gone. It’s as simple as that.

The notion that this system “benefits the 1%” is blindingly stupid. Look at shopping in the U.S. — you have almost infinite choices of food, clothes, cars, fuel, transportation, furniture. Everybody who lives here benefits from this system and the wealth of goods and services it provides. The poorest people in the U.S. today live better than the average person did only 150 years ago.

It is unbelievably sad that this type of message gets any traction in the United States. That it does is a huge condemnation of U.S. public education.

Sounds like Obama when he said in 5 days we will begin the fundamental transformation of this country...didn’t work out too good for us did it?

I hope it’s Biden as the nominee.

There will never be a more clearer differentiation between republican and democrat nominees. The choice between a free market and freedom -vs- communism and enslavement by the government.

There won’t be the lesser of two evils option, which usually happens. It will be a choice between good and evil, period.

May the people of this country choose wisely.

Socialists have looted the republic enough. Bernie and his ilk should be in prison or worse. 22T+ debt.

I think Bernie Sanders (not including Marianne Williamson) would be the easiest Democrat for Trump to be beat in 2020.

Even better yet would be if he picked Williamson as his VP nominee!

Think of it - Sanders/Williamson in 2020!

Polls and Trolls.....

You need to get some new material beyond blatant attempts to drive the message using a “foundation” that everyone knows is a pack of lies

Otherwise if they had value Hillary would be president

Waste of time

Don't kid yourself. While they are a pack of empty dreams, there are plenty of people stupid enough to buy into his empty dreams.

NH? Surging in his next door state? Is NH really an good indicator of national appeal?

Bernie is done, so is Warren, so is Kamal, they better face it, Biden is their guy :)

Can’t wait for Obama to be forced into supporting him :)

I have no illusion as to the veracity of what you say, I have met them and trying to change their mind is an exercise in futility.

Even taking them down the road of where is all the money going to come from as even if you take all the “rich peoples” money it will only hold up the Government as it is for at best 2-3 months

Then what?

They are coming for you!

They most likely think they are, but they are coming for themselves as well, they just don't realize it. 8>)

There once was an old commie named Bernie
Whose brain was sent out on a gurney
He had dropped LSD
And now “Everything’s free”
And hasn’t come down from the journey
