The commies are rising? Is a civil war on the horizon?

[Spirit of Liberty]

Wow! Trump had one of those on his stages yesterday, too!

[Tzimisce]

It’s true.

But Sanders supporters don’t care.

[LS]

Yet Trump draws this number at every rally. So what’s the big deal. Let Bernie try it in South Carolina or Alabama.

What I want to know is...those college-age students that were for Obama in 2008, would now be in their late 20s/early 30s. Are they still looking for that loving feeling with Bernie, or has real life smartened them up?

I was talking to a friend who lives in NYC and when I told her we have to pay to attend community college in AZ, she couldn’t believe it. When I asked why, she said they get it for free. Not sure if it is just certain colleges back there or all.

I think Hillary is done and Bernie will beat her.

[txnativegop]

That is due to a lack frontal lobe development.

[r_barton]

People heard that Bernie would be offering free stuff, financed by the printing presses of the U.S. Treasury.

[Salamander]

The ironically named “Vampire Weekend”.

Blood sucking parasites seeking their own level.

[PROCON]

or has real life smartened them up?

Great question.

In other words, have they made the logical leap from low-info voter to "holy crap, 0bama lied to us!"

I didn’t say middle class people are mediocre, I said that’s the top tier we’re allowed to shoot for.

Separate from that, we’re taught to shoot for mediocre, success is evil, and we’re told to despise the rich.

[GregKremer]

Non the less he will lose big.

One thing I don’t think a lot of people realize is that there is a significant percentage of our leftist (Democrat) voting populace who are not naive - they deliberately vote for whomever will put the biggest thumb in America’s eye, especially “white” America. I’ve known some of these people. They giggled when Obama won, not because they thought he would do a good job necessarily (they wouldn’t have the slightest clue what “a good job” was anyway), but because they knew he would shaft caucasians right in their keysters. And they were right. There are plenty of self-hating white people who gladly jump on that bandwagon.

..there is a significant percentage of our leftist (Democrat) voting populace who are not naive - they deliberately vote for whomever will put the biggest thumb in America's eye, especially "white" America.

Yes indeed.

And usually these types are affluent enough not to feel the devastation liberal/progressive policies have on the ordinary middle-class American.

[Blue Highway]

Is that Bristol Palin in the white Bernie t-shirt in the front?

[rktman]

I never knew that.

[stocksthatgoup]

It is amazing how many socialist and communist are on our college campuses

[Red Steel]

I guess correct. Sanders as usual has to got a university town to get to get a big crowd. University of Iowa.

ALWAYS ! If nothing else, my surviving kin will thank me !
