A New Yorker, a New "Jerseyer"..... and an Alaskan who can see Russia from her house.
Interestingly, both his endorsers have had "bridge to nowhere' controversies.
What if Bernie runs Independent?
I just don't get it...
BORING?
Then I don't want to know what would qualify as interesting with you...
Republican candidates mud wrestling during the debates perhaps?

Totally right. The stuff going on in the Republican debates is a wild food fight. Entertaining and scary as all hell. Never seen anything like it. Having the current Republican leading candidate repeatedly call the last Republican president dishonest is unprecidented, and that's just for starters.
Those who will walk away sucking their thumb because their guy lost in their party's primaries and not vote in the general election always create the same result. It is simple history that the Presidency is all about the Supreme Court which is currently filled with many very old judges. Walk away, you will create a similar result to the Bush, Gore, Nader contest where millions voted for Nader and literally elected Bush. You'll insure getting a President who will fillthe court with justices that rule for 30 years against everything you believe in, not to mention start wars you don't support. You know, small things like this.
I don't think there is any way the hated Hillary can do that. They will obstruct her as much as they obstructed Obama, and moreover, we'll get more of the 90's circuses (this time they will waste taxpayer money and time digging into the Clinton foundation, speeches etc.)
Bernie, nice guy though he is, is going down.
Bottom line - I think a Republican president can be more effective with the other branches of govt than a Democrat.
Just for the Republican Party's sake, Trump would be the best that can happen.
I think the question, the voters should ask themselves is if they want a continuation of the last 8 respectively 16 years, then vote for Hillary or Rubio.
Trump at least will leave no stone unturned. And from where I'm standing (Switzerland) that seems to be the best way to go, even if it is risky.
No risk, no fun.
Internationally he will be considered a dangerous clown with a effing large army at his bidding who will alienate the rest of the world even more than the US has manged to do since their daft response to 9/11.
This is true, but the enemies will be concerned about a possible 'crazy person' in the White House and may think twice before daring him.
Bottom line - the nice approach hasn't worked in my view. The world is more dangerous now than it was when Obama took office, and it was bad decision making and judgement that led to the situation in Ukraine and Syria.
I always remember that Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld were very experienced, and that Hills wanted the Iraq war. Sometimes experience is a bad thing. Judgement is always a good thing. not saying Trump has it necessarily, but I know Hillary does not.
One thing I know for sure based on his remarks - he is not one to engage without thinking it through.
Ever since Obama how many terrorist attacks did happen on US soil, by imported terrorist?- The US has a bloody great border protection that does keep the baddies out. As for domestic terrorists you have to be bloody lucky to find them before the fact. SO Obama does a great job there too.
Trump will turn back the medical care for everybody because that money is better spend fighting overseas. Will give businesses better options paying people less and earning even more, will piss off the rest of the economical world by his stupid demands. Which will result in war with his allies.
Ukraine was a rerun from the previous Krim war, in which the world was also opposed to a crazy Russian ruler bent on saving his face and flexing his muscle. There was little to stop him unless you favor another all out war.
Syria is the result of the US war on Muslims [oops I meant to say Terrorism, which has been fueled by a stupid and ill advised war industry] which has cost the US so much money which could have been used to repair its infrastructure and domestic economy 20 times over. So in a sense the Terrorists did win because the American way of life has been disrupted and changed them into scared of foreigners and willing to exchange their democratic rights for Big Brother.
This election will show us more of the worlds "greatest" democracy in action and with professional politicians being payed for and bought by big business it all looks a lot scary to the rest of the world.
:-O
And so it should, and this is not aimed at the presidential candidates but the whole power system in Washington. It seems to have broken down.....
It really surprises me that in a year where everyone seems to be demanding change and a throwing out of the establishment, that Bernie's momentum seems to have come to a crashing halt, especially against Clinton who, regardless of what one's opinion of her actual work in the government is, has shown herself not to be a particularly good candidate.
Kind of how fascism grows....
Most people would be considered a good candidate next to Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz, and the rest of the Republican clown car.
I think she's proven herself to not be a great candidate over the years. She should have run away with the 2008 election and then stumbled through most of the start of this round until just recently. Maybe she's finally hit her stride as a candidate, as she seems poised to put Bernie away much earlier than anyone would have thought a month ago. She is a much better candidate now than she was a few months ago and certainly better than in 2008.
But, to say that someone isn't a good candidate doesn't necessarily speak to the quality of their work (although, full disclosure, I don't care for Hillary one bit and won't cast a vote for her unless the Republicans force me to). On the flip side, Jeb Bush is, by the accounts of everyone who has met him and gone to his rallies and whatnot, a decent man and a very smart when it comes to the issues, much moreso than his Republican counterparts, but he's just terrible at the candidacy part of the process.
Dick.
But I have faith that Bernie will destroy expectations.
My bet: Trump and Clinton
and it could be much worse, even if it is sad that it is so.
Rubio or Cruz against Sanders would definitely mean Rubio or Cruz will be the next President and does anybody sane really want that??
