"That candidate is considered a political outsider by all of the pundits," [Mika] said. "He's tapping into the anger of voters, delivers a populist message. "He believes everyone in the country should have healthcare [and] he advocates for hedge fund managers to pay higher taxes," Brzezinski added. "He is drawing thousands of people at his rallies and bringing in a lot of new voters into the political process. Who am I describing?"
"You're describing Donald Trump," the outspoken billionaire responded.
"Actually, I was describing Bernie Sanders," Brzezinski countered.

... Barry was nominated by President Ronald Reagan[7] on September 14, 1983, to a seat on the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey vacated by Henry Curtis Meanor.
She was confirmed by the United States Senate on October 6, 1983, and received her commission the next day.
A Republican,[1] Barry was nominated to be a judge on the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit by President Bill Clinton[7] on June 17, 1999, to replace H. Lee Sarokin, who had retired in 1996.
President Clinton in 1998 had nominated Robert Raymar to the seat, but that nomination was never given a hearing by the Senate Judiciary Committee, and Raymar's nomination expired at the end of that year.
Clinton chose not to renominate Raymar to the Third Circuit seat during the next congressional term, and elected instead to nominate Barry.
Barry was unanimously confirmed by the United States Senate on September 13, 1999, and received her commission on September 22, 1999. "I am deeply honored and very grateful for the nomination," Barry told the New Jersey Law Journal in 1999.
"I am surprised I was approached on it.
I assume that my record is good enough as a district court judge to be reached out to, and I'm glad that politics weren't a priority here."[8]
Barry's reputation on the bench was that of a tough judge with strong command of her courtroom.[7]
In 1989, while a district court judge in Essex County, New Jersey, she disapproved a plea bargaining deal that would have freed two county detectives accused of protecting a drug dealer, and forced the case to trial, where the detectives were convicted and received jail terms.
She also presided over the conviction of Louis Manna, the Genovese crime family boss accused of plotting to assassinate rival John Gotti.[7]
In January 2006, Barry testified in support of the appointment of fellow Third Circuit Judge Samuel Alito to the Supreme Court.
On June 30, 2011, Barry assumed senior status and was ultimately succeeded by Judge Patty Shwartz.
You should do better research !

His greatest golf course in the world in Scotland (eminent domain battle) has lost money for the past 3 years. I truly think the only reason the man is running is to make money.
+++++++
That makes sense.
And he doesn’t have to donate to politicians anymore...saves him money!

You didn’t offend me! I understand.
Here are the lyrics
“Call him Mr. Raider, call him Mr. Wrong
Call him Mr. Vain
Call him Mr. Raider, call him Mr. Wrong
Call him Insane “
Clearly, not pro-Trump. ;)
It’s not rap BTW, it’s “Eurodance” from a German band.
Rap and “hip hop” you would REALLY hate. And avoid “Lady Gaga” like the plague, I can’t warn you enough about her.

Yes, I do hate that crap, and yes I know a "Lady Gaga" and No to her as well, tramp trash.
There is a new gal I have seen, has 1/2 Black hair, 1/2 White hair, can't see her face and has a big black bow on the top of her head..........WHAT the hay is that about? Frankly I think she needs to be in the Westminster Dog Show.
This day and age, for people to like that kind of crap, I can fully understand their adoring LOVE for Trump....who let the dogs out? They are the only ones who CAN understand him. YUK or better yet Idiocracy.

"There is a new gal I have seen, has 1/2 Black hair, 1/2 White hair, can't see her face and has a big black bow on the top of her head......"I had to google that. "Sia"? Never heard of her. I don't follow pop music that closely, "Gaga" was huge before I heard of her. Not a bad singer actually, but very strange. The gays just love her, I guess cause they like her weird outfits.
They say Trump is the perfect candidate for the idiot generation that elected Obama, hard to argue with that. At 32 I think to think I just missed the cutoff for "millennial". Too old for gen X, stuck in the middle.
Everyone I know that's younger than me knows him best from his stupid reality show and it's "You're fired" catchphrase.
I don't see any of those younger voters going Republican unless they've *matured* beyond the point of a reality tv star being an appealing Presidential candidate to them.

You sure know how to put it in terms everyone can relate to, you are so right.
I think younger than the millenniums are the misfit generation. I believe they must be the NOOB Trump posters, supported by Trump aka Occupiers.
"SIA" yes that's her, she would certainly win the Westminister dog show.....Trumpster can really relate to this misfit.

I clicked the thread wondering what on earth I’d see, and you described it exactly. Tens upon tens of millions of us are sick to the puking point of ALL - ALL - EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM - professional politicians, whatever label they have. With a few exceptions of course like Sessions. The only thing different is that Sanders is a professional politician and his popularity is wide but one inch deep. Only actual know-nothings support him. The only reason he has support is because Hitlery is so detestfully foul.

Do people who say Trump is just like Bernie really that ignorant? They never listen to his rallies or interviews, read his positions, books, etc? Or are they lying?
I don’t get it.

He also has repeatedly mentioned cutting the massive fraud, waste and abuse from Medicare (and all gov spending, including military).

That would be whatever constitutional amendments result from Obama. That’s the big fight.
