The Donald vs. The Bern -- You can't trump that
lowell sun ^ | 2/17 | Peter Lucas

Posted on 02/19/2016 5:09:50 AM PST by luke1825

would be every political reporter's dream -- although it might be a nightmare for everybody else.

Talk about the odd couple. It is the possible presidential campaign matchup between capitalist Donald Trump, 69, and socialist Bernie Sanders, 74. It could be the fight of the century.

It would be much better than a Donald Trump/ Hillary Clinton contest, for sure, because no one is exactly sure what Hillary stands for. She may not even get to the starting gate, if the FBI gets its way

This would be an excellent debate for the USA to in 2016. Are we going Capitalist or Socialist?

For 3 decades we tried being both and it is a disaster.

Only if you are completely ignorant of History, Economics and politics.

Did oyu see where Mika Brzezinski read a description of a candidate to Trump and he said, “That’s me”, but it turned out she was describing Sanders?

They’re too similar.

I think with Trump’s liberal history you are right; a distinction without a difference.

The same could be said for Trump.

A 50% conservative Trump is better than a 100% socialist Sanders. In a race between a Capitalist and a Socialist I’ll take the Capitalist every time.

Did you watch the actual video or are you just regurgitating today’s talking point?

If you watch the video there is nothing at all in the questionto make it clear to the listener that she is describing Sanders.

Only to a welded shut mind who refuses to learn a single thing that challenges their emotion based opinions or a brain dead bot waiting to be spoon fed what to think.

Why yes, if you are ignorant of any fact, the generalities between the two seem spot on.

I am not. That's why I think we're going Socialist.

Every society seems to give it a try. The U.S. has not yet experienced the failure first-hand. And as Churchill said, we do the right thing only after we've exhausted all of the alternatives.

Just what America needs, two leftist debating each other.

One a communist and one a crony capitalist socialist.

“.......She may not even get to the starting gate, if the FBI gets its way.”........

I strongly doubt Hitlary will ever pay for her dastardly deeds here on earth, but when she croaks, she will render down very quickly in the heat where she is heading. I despise that “woman”.

Or those who have watched Trump flip and flop and flip back again over and over on any number of issues.
