Frank Luntz: Sanders Most Likely To Win Democratic Nomination, Capitalism Has Become A Dirty Word For The Left

[knighthawk]

Problem is Sanders is no real Democrat so not sure he will be allowed to go all the way.

As any student of history knows, the current”capitalism” people despise, is really corporatism. It is heartless, and destructive. It puts great wealth in the hands of a few who tend to abuse their employees, while suppressing small businesses growth.

We need some good old fashioned trust busting and a reasonably regulated free market.Corporatism breeds a reactionary socialism.

[RoosterRedux]

The commies now control the Democratic Party, not the Democrats.

If the commies think they need an old fashioned Dem to win, they will choose Biden and add a running mate like Hogzilla Abrams. Otherwise, it will be Bernie/Hogzilla or Bernie/Kameltoe.

It could conceivably be Bernie/Buttboy.

[RoosterRedux]

I am an old-fashioned capitalist and I like trust-busting.

[DarthVader]

There will be no Democrat primary winner. Our politics is about to take a turn that many of you don’t think it will. By the end of this year you will see why.

[mewzilla]

Until Bernie’s bought off with another vacation home.

"I prefer living in a socialist country to a capitalist one"

How would these idiots know that?

[Artemis Webb]

“It is not that principles are dead, in fact, the principles of economic freedom are alive and well,” Luntz explained. “But capitalism itself has been so demonized by media that... if you want to oppose socialism you oppose it by talking about freedom, not capitalism.”

He may be right, unfortunately.

That’s a good post. There’s a huge difference between “capitalism” and the “corporate fascism” that is the prevailing economic model in this country. A truly capitalist country would not be $22 trillion in debt right now.

The way they pulled out all the stops to keep Bernie from the nomination in 2016 makes me think they will find a way to derail him again. Meanwhile Hillary seems to be popping up ...

[LukeL]

One other issue is the burdensome regulations placed on businesses. A company like Wal-Mart welcomes more regulations because it crushes the competition that cannot afford to spend millions per year to comply. Another issue is how companies like Amazon can make sweetheart deals with the post office to ship well below what any other company could get. If two separate private companies colluded in such a way there would be congressional hearings in an instant.

[SMGFan]

when will he declare he is a member of the Democrat Party ( Only For Now)

[Lakeshark]

The beauty of it all. Sanders simply states out loud what most democrats believe. The rest usually try to pretend they aren't as extreme in their beliefs.

But they are.

The rats need his followers for votes. They can't afford to alienate them by taking him out with the skulduggery Hillary used last time.

This will be fun to watch.

Bernie Sanders signs DNC loyalty pledge: ‘I am a member of the Democratic Party’

March 5, 2019, 4:43 PM EST
By Alex Seitz-Wald
WASHINGTON — Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., has formally declared himself a member of the Democratic Party as he seeks its presidential nomination in 2020, abiding by new Democratic National Committee rules.

“I am a member of the Democratic Party,” reads the statement to the DNC that Sanders signed and notarized Tuesday. It also asserts that Sanders will serve as a Democrat if elected president and that the DNC can determine who is “a bonafide Democrat.”

If he is declared to be a Democrat candidate why is he an I-ndependent in Senate?

[Vaquero]

There will be blood between dhimmicrat factions.

[airborne]

They would deny it but snowflakes want their daddy.

Daddy takes care of everything for snowflake so snowflake elects daddy.

[kingu]

Yeah, because DNC cheating 4 years ago to support a ‘mainstream’ candidate won't happen again. They pinkie promised, dontchaknow.

There will be no Democrat primary winner. Our politics is about to take a turn that many of you don’t think it will. By the end of this year you will see why.

Geez Louise, can we at least get a TICK TOCK ?
