Bernie Sanders Thread

A just released CNN poll finds Sanders out-polling all of the GOP's major candidates, though pretty much tied with Jeb Bush. Here's how Sanders stacks up:

SANDERS: 48%
BUSH: 47%

SANDERS: 48%
WALKER: 42%

SANDERS: 59%
TRUMP: 38%

If you limit the poll sample to just registered voters, Bush defeats Sanders by a single point. Either way, this credible poll suggests that Sanders is not just some pie-in-the-sky general election candidate. His more uphill battle may be the primary. But even there, he has some strengths. Polling out last week shows he's the only candidate from either side who has a net favorability rating.

For the Republicans, too, the race is being turned upside down. Celebrity billionaire Donald Trump is now beating his rivals in national polls; the CNN poll has him at 18 percent to Jeb Bush's 15 percent. In state polling, Trump is the leader in New Hampshire in the Marist poll, at 21 percent, with Jeb Bush at only 14 percent. In Iowa, Trump is at 17 percent and Scott Walker is at 19 percent.

The race on both sides is slowly in the process of being turned on its head — a sign voters are frustrated with the status quo.

Thought about the $100 bucks some more. Assuming 200 million citizens are eligible to vote (registered or not) that's $20 billion of government spending to fund what essentially could be a status quo outcome of funding based on polling data of who one supports.

Where would that get us other than $20 billion deeper in the hole?

One of the dumbest things I have ever heard a politician propose. Let's go deeper in debt by having tax payers fund political campaigns without getting any type of stimulus to the economy in exchange. Brilliant.

No spin from me, KV. I've said many times, BS seems to practice his philosophy daily. I respect that. He seems honest. I dont like his ideas, though.

I don't vote anymore and do not really care who the president will be.

There was some thinking that forcing an angry BLM protester off stage would not be in the spirit of Sanders' platform. So he just left.

I don't think that was the best way to handle it, but I get that Sanders just doesn't want to engage the idiocy of it.

The guy marched with Martin Luther King Jr and has a lady yelling at him about no supporting racial causes. Unbelievable.

Because Hillary has private events where she vets (and sometimes pays) people to be there.

And the Black Lives Matter thing didn't happen in Portland. It was the day before in Washington.

How would you feel if you went to a Sanders rally and just before your hero was about to speak, he was shouted off stage by an angry group of BLM protesters?

I bet he'd do real well in situations involving foriegn policy. Putin would probably look at him, say "give me your clothes," and have Bernie parade around naked for his amusement.
