[Vanity] Two things I just don't get: Why Obama has 52% approval and why Bernie Sanders is so popul

I personally find it both bewildering and frightening that Odungo could have systematically trashed our economy, international standing, military, health (importing diseased illegals wholesale to spread diseases to us), sovereignty, safety from terrorists, and safety from criminals, vastly ramped up racism, trampled on our Constitution and expressed absolute contempt for America---yet approval polls for him range from 46% to 52% approval, depending on the poll you look at. Who are these polls polling? Or is America completely brain dead by now?

I also do not understand (a vast understatement) how someone who was an absolute failure, could not hold a job until the age of 40, could garner such widespread support as a presidential candidate, especially among very young voters. That would be the bum Sanders. Makes me want to put the voting age back up to 21 or even older. All this guy talks about is free this, free that, etc. Can you imagine THIS simplistic moron in charge of our nuclear arsenal? In charge of our economy? In charge of our military? I wouldn't trust him to administer a garbage dump. He would bankrupt the country into non-existence. China and Russia would be thrilled to be able to conquer us without a shot being fired. Muzzies would pass out candy to celebrate America's demise. What DISEASE is infecting American minds, that they would even consider, let alone exuberantly support, a moron like Sanders or a crook like Shrillary?

This is so depressing to someone who has a patriotic love of country.

As the vitriol heats up in the Republican nomination, we are making O look down right presidential.

[Boomer]

You aren’t alone in wondering all that and much more.

Bernie is popular because he offers lots of freebies and he appears more honest than Hillary the Liar ( who promises freebies but is strongly disliked as well as, of course, distrusted by many democrats who resent her pushing herself down their throats again. They rejected her for an unknown illegal alien Islamonazi commie already - they’re rejecting her again for a similarly unattractive alternative because they definitely don’t want Hillary - her last few years have only made her more objectionable ). And why should they vote for Hillary when Bernie offers the same freebies without the negative personal traits ? (I hope they both lose, of course, as their politics would be terrible for USA and jobs. But why many others support Bernie? They’re D’s who went lots of freebies without having to suffer Hillary in the White House )

I talked to my brother-in-law the other day. He's in Montana and he's had a real hard time finding employees that actually want to work at his nursery and landscaping business. Most of the younger generation 18-30, just want to fish, drink, or hang out. He said it's the worst he's very seen and that many of his friends (that own businesses) are having the same problem.

An awful lot of them are lazy, entitled, snarky brats that want to be taken care of.

What was once called good will be called bad and what was once called bad will be called good.

I can’t explain the former - I think it’s a false propaganda number four times the actual figure - but I can explain the latter.

Sanders is basically the leftist version of Trump - a vessel for boiling-over anti-establishment anger.

The Left was looking at a Clinton walk-in nomination. Clinton in many ways is the epitome of what they despise - a pandering, pro-war, corporatist weathervane. What you and I see when we look at people like Romney, Boehner, Paul Ryan, is what they see when they see Clinton.

Clinton had all other potential opponents intimidated out of the way, and into the void stepped Sanders - who, compared to Clinton, is an icon of integrity, who actually does appear to care about what they care about, who has real credibility to that end.

Sanders is the grassroots Democrat’s weapon to wrest control of their party from the establishment. Trump fills the same role for the GOP. It’s the same phenomenon happening on both sides, with the entire system in the hands of a Uniparty of bribe-gorged corrupt establishment elitists who have no genuine values other than the will to power.

Because media is busy attacking Trump.

Because they’re all about me and what will you give me.

I saw where FOX has Hussein Obama at 48% and that is more than likely a fixed poll as well...

Talk to the voters and NO one likes him and No one voted for him...so he must have certainly fixed those two elections or rather the DNC and his handlers did...

Nothing is surprising any more...

these polls that have Trump at 69% dislikes..is a phony as Moochell and daughters fake hair falls. mooch is wig addicted as well ..

Let’s just say Liberals are very comfortable with organized lying, cheating and cooking of books. So long as it makes their idols look good, they rationalize the lie and ‘the real truth’. Why, it’s almost as effective, gratuitous and compulsory as Taquiya!

[funfan]

The thing about Sanders that I find funny is that he has been in Congress for 30 years he is part of the establishment and part of the problem.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Two words. FREE STUFF. The new “americans” love that stuff.

[Mr. M.J.B.]

Yep.

See if this sounds familiar (excerpt):

...The other path is described as Messiah coming "humble and riding upon a donkey" (Zechariah 9:9). In this scenario, nature will take its course, and society will undergo a slow painful deterioration, with much suffering. God's presence will be hidden, and his guidance will not be perceivable.

According to this second path, there will be a valueless society in which religion will not only be chided, it will be used to promote immorality. Young people will not respect the old, and governments will become godless. This is why the Midrash says, "One third of the world's woes will come in the generation preceding the Messiah." (Rabbi Aryeh Kaplan, "Handbook of Jewish Thought")

According to the Talmud, as the Messianic era approaches, the world will experience greater and greater turmoil: Vast economic fluctuations, social rebellion, and widespread despair. The culmination will be a world war of immense proportion led by King Gog from the land of Magog. This will be a war the likes of which have not been seen before. This will be the ultimate war of good against evil, in which evil will be entirely obliterated. (Ezekiel ch. 38, 39; Zechariah 21:2, 14:23; Talmud – Sukkah 52, Sanhedrin 97, Sotah 49)

The answer is pretty basic. The costs of socialism have been completely obfuscated so that the connection between the economic performance of the country and the size and scope of the government has been disconnected.
