The writer is forgetting that under Bernie, there will soon be few or none that are affluent. There will only be the formerly affluent. Or those doing well in government, doling out what little is left.
All of the Rat candidates are a dream to run against. If done properly. Actually they’re a nightmare for the Rats. Yeah baby!
No one cares about the debt. Well, 0.001% of the population does and only 0.001% of them would show up to vote.
That is the only thing that most of America can agree on is that no one cares about the debt!
Rich, Poor, Young, Old, Employed, Dead-beat...
No one can relate to 1 million dollars much less 1 million, quadrillion dollars since it is not tangible and not attainable in most peoples minds.
I disagree with the author.
Many voter’s eyes glaze over when you throw out big dollar amounts. To the under-informed voter there’s no difference between $60 trillion and $60 billion.
Of course, the difference is $180,000 for every man/woman/child vs. $180 in new taxes.
The real attack on Sanders is this:
- His health. Really would be voting for his VP choice.
- He is not even a democrat.
- He is essentially a communist.
- Has zero experience in business.
Never Trumpers are Never Bernie too.
They care nothing for the country, only their hate for Trump.
The Bulwark doesn’t disappoint.
The amazing thing is that Bernie would still win a few states. California, NY, Illinois, MA, MD. He would have well over 100 electoral votes.
I would have thought The Bulwark would be cheering for Bernie. Anyone But Trump.
"The Bulwark is a project of Defending Democracy Together Institute" (or DDT)
DDT: "We are conservatives and Republicans standing up for the rule of law, for free trade, and for more welcoming legal immigration policies"
Are these the same people who said there was no way Trump was going to beat Jeb, Marco, Rafael Jr (”Ted”), Kasich etc.?
Be careful for what you wish for.
Bulwark is a NeverTrump rag. And they sound even more terrified about Bernie than the Dems.
They could take every cent from “the rich” and it wouldn’t cover Bernies proposals for more than 3 months
They pulled this 40-45% out of their @ss
“roughly $60 trillion over 10 years”
Trump should point that out and then say:
“I know I’m good, but even I can’t grow the economy fast enough for us to afford THAT!”
No one better represents the Rats’ politics than Sanders — and his staff members.
Bernie is old, unattractive and has a wife who complements him. I can’t imagine him as the democrat’s candidate. Even Biden is looking old and frail.
You mean the “wealthy” Bernie aided by capitalism? It’s not fair that he has so much money and property. He needs to spread his wealth.
