Bernie is indestructible

[Elmer S. E. Dump]

He will have the 90% at least, because he doesn't need or want to lie. Everything he says as fact is indisputable.

That's the reason we will get a bunch of centrists, and many conservatives to see Bernie as a possible last hope.

We just need to understand that people, regardless of politics, religion, race, etc., want a better life.

Feel the Bernnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn!!!!

1. Be sure not to bet your retirement fund on that prediction. n/t

[virtualobserver]

2. will we have retirement funds if that prediction isn't correct?

if we don't turn public thinking around during this election

republicans will destroy unions, billionaires will control elections

[PoliticAverse]

4. Keep repeating - "cutting benefits is strengthening Social Security". n/t

[cui bono]

6. Are you saying that Bernie wants to cut benefits?

[PoliticAverse]

9. I was responding to the "prediction isn't true" post above mine. n/t

[Elmer S. E. Dump]

3. No problem, cuz I don't have one!

[Ed Suspicious]

14. Ownership society. Isn't that just fucking lovely.

[sabrina 1]

15. On which prediction?

[Erich Bloodaxe BSN]

5. Something like a third of the country is always going to vote Republican, no matter what.

And enough others will to get it to the point where at least about 45% of the votes will be for the Republican, no matter which clown it is. Bernie may be all in for them, but they won't be all in for him, even if he's the person who would do the best by them. That's the sadness of American politics.

11. I'm not so sure of that

Voting for Bernie would be confounding the RINOS and the Corporate GOP. That's just the sort of thing the Tea Party is itching to do.

And since he's not "really" a Democrat, they wouldn't feel as if they were betraying their party, just showing it who is boss.

And besides, Bernie is not Hillary. He's not anything like any of the Democrats. So he's a safe bet.

1/3 of the nation are not total idiots, and even if they were, they have been enlightened by the GOP as to how much they don't count in the grand scheme of things. Just as most of the Democrats have had THEIR noses rubbed into their total unworthiness for consideration regarding legislation.

7. I totally agree.

And then there's the Hillary supporters who only support her because they don't care for changing the corruption in the system. They'd rather go with whom they think is a "safe bet". Whatever it takes to beat the GOP! @.@

8. so agree

[Demeter]

10. Dear goddess, I hope you are right

because this may be our last best chance for a generation to clean up Washington and the nation, or make a good start, at least.

[Elmer S. E. Dump]

13. If we lose this chance, I think we may be fucked.

12. In following and watching him for several years I'd agree with that comment even moreso

from the way he handles press interviews in the last couple months, and from listening and seeing him last night live in person for two hours in Arlington.

As to the election, I can't say but I hope he prevails.

But I've noticed for a while how quick, brilliant, forceful yet patient he is.

And his powerful commanding voice and presence I've never seen equaled in a politician that I recall. Cuomo, Ted K. a few others in my lifetime seem close.

DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE BERNIE SANDERS, FORMER LONG DISTANCE RUNNER.
