Not sure if anyone was watching Bloomberg earlier today, but Ed Lazar, chief economic advisor to

[still_one]

George W Bush was on, and they were asking him specifically if Trump was hurting the republicans, and specifically, if so many republicans running hurts them. He gave the standard political answer, oh no, its all good for the republicans, then he went on to say all the parties have their extremists, we have Trump, and the Democrats have Sanders#!@#$$&%^##*#

Listening to that verbiage go unchallenged by the interviewers is quite frustrating, and to even put Bernie and Trump in the same category is a disgrace. It is no wonder the bush administration he was part of the economy that brought our country to its knees.

The republican philosophy of deregulation has consistently proven a failure. No wonder he doesn't like Bernie. Bernie want to bring back regulation, Glass–Steagall, minimum wage, and that everyone pays their fair share.

1. The worst Dem is better than the best Repub

I would categorize Webb as the worst Dem in that I think Webb is furthest from what I consider Dem values

I really hope that the Dem supporters of particular candidates will focus their anger on the Repubs

If we don't respect all the Dem candidates and then unite behind the one that wins the nomination, we all lose BIG TIME

3. I have serious doubts about Webb, especially with his recent comments about Bernie and Elizabeth

Warren are not HIS democratic party. Seeing that he was a republican before, I guess not, and based his views on the confederate flag as simply a symbol of southern pride perhaps means he might still be a republican.

Your other points, especially in regard to all the other candidates from Hillary, Sanders, O'Malley, and even Chaffee, I agree

2. Sanders is the antithesis to anarcho-capitalist Trump.

6. Did you miss where Democratic senator Claire McCaskill called Sanders

"someone with an extreme message" and compared him to Pat Buchanan and Ron Paul?

7. and she was harshly criticized for it, but my thread was about someone else. The McCaskil slur was

exploited by a massive number of threads, so sorry to disappoint that I didn't include someone supporting Hillary slurring Bernie. How neglectful I must be?

I suspect that if I posted a thread about the weather being nice in Hawaii, I would receive a few comments how terrible Bernie or Hillary or someone speaking for them are.

[PoliticAverse]

8. You mentioned someone calling Sanders an 'extremist', I was wondering if you also saw the

recent McCaskill comment in that regard as well.

9. sometimes I am not sure if posts are sarcastic or not. Obviously, I read it wrong and apologize
