  1. Bernie Sanders is a radical, that is why people do not want him to run. If he runs he will be destroyed, especially if the economy is doing well. People won't buy into his communist ideas and will support Trump. If the democrats are smart they will run far away from Sanders, especially in 4 years when most of his supporters are older and no longer support his radical policies.

  2. Saying Bernie Sanders is popular is both a myth and deceptive. People see him as a nice old guy, but they do not like his policies. My proof? The people voted for republicans and went the exact opposite of what Bernie supported.

  3. "since when was commonsense radical?" It is radical the second you can't make a real argument in support of his policies besides "common sense". What is I just said "it is common sense that Bernie is a radical". Would you consider that an argument?

  4. The democrats are currently corrupt and full of established politicians that should be gone. I will say that. But even at that Bernie is far too radical to run as a president. He will alienate too many people and divide our country too much to gain support. This is the same guy who said that white people can't be poor. And how rich people and businesses are awful for society. He would have been destroyed in 2016 and if the economy grows under Trump he will mostly likely every state besides Vermont in 2020.

  5. Michael, the US education system is affordable if you consider the payoff in the end.

  6. "It's radical to want Medicare for all?" When you do not have a plan to provide it it is. Cruz criticized Bernie's plan on their debate and Bernie did not even try to defend it.

  7. "Plus countries that are more socialistic are doing much better in any way then the united states." Not really. " Better education better health care " Not true. Their education is not better than ours, especially at the university level. And nothing indicates that their healthcare systems are better. " more vacation less hours worked per week maternity leave for men and women. " Less productivity and less wealth as a result as well. " so why should they run from his ideas. " Because they are radical. Despite the fact what you said about other countries is not completely true, what he is proposing is not done in any of those countries at all. Denmark had mandatory military service for years. Do you want that? Germany restricts who can go to college. Do you want that? Norway taps into their oil to fund their programs. Do you want that? Just saying other countries do it better with no specifics or details is being either dishonest or ignorant. " Like how the united states gdp only rose 1.6% and sweden in the same year rose 3.1% in 2016. " We just got out of a poor presidency. Under Obama we never had a year of GDP growth of over 3%. Also, citing 2016 is flawed. Expand the graph. Around 3% has been Sweden's norm usually. In 1984 following Reagan's first term we were over 7% GDP growth. And with the exception of a dip in 1991 we were around 3% until about 2006. Sweden's GDP growth is usually around 3-4%. You ignored the dip in 2012 I see. " so it looks like the ideas that sanders would have would help out the country. " Or maybe Reagan's idea. 7%>3%. Even at that Sweden is not implementing what Bernie wants. Sweden does not have a min. wage for example. "so i can afford my college and healthcare and have better roads " 3/4 of funding for roads is at the state and local level. Also, you are comparing roads to healthcare and college. Both healthcare and college are expensive because of the federal government (payroll tax and student loan program respectively). Adding more federal government is not the solution. Fact is that Bernie is not you savior. He is one guy. He may mean well but our problems in this country stem from the federal government for the most part. Do you want those corrupt politicians at the federal level to run your healthcare and college education? So you want to give the federal government all that power so a future Trump gets into power and now controls it? Think about it. Remember, Bernie is one guy. You have 535 members in congress, many you can't vote for. What makes you think Bernie's ideas will actually work with that being the case? Also, stop blaming your problems on the rich.

  8. Michael Freer, 1. He is communist. Look at his policies and how they align with communist countries. Listen to his talking points of "we must all work together". And his ideas are not implemented in the UK. You want some more insight on Bernie, read 1984. 2. Bernie has nothing but talking points. He does not point out any ideas. He says his talking points to stir up emotions (like they did in 1984) to get people on his side to grow in power. When asked fro specifics in his plans and details he diverts the discussion to either 1. the rich 2. big corporations 3. free shit 4. there are poor people 5. race 6. climate change That's it. You can watch his speeches and debates and he will push to stick to those talking points. Luckily enough people were smart enough not to fall for his BS. 3. If you really are from Germany then you will see Bernie as radical. If you can't then I am sorry but you are not too bright. In all, how can you fall for a guy who constantly diverts every debate he has to his talking points? He was having a debate with Douglas Holtz-Eakin on the min. wage. Bernie immediately starting talking about Walmart and the Walton family (points 1 and 2) and how Walmart employees are supposedly poor (point 4). Douglas pushed Bernie to talk about other businesses so Bernie brought up BK and McDonalds (point 2). Douglas pushed the point even more Bernie went to raising taxes on the rich (point 1) and jobs for more people (point 3). He is predictable and it fascinates me how people fall for this guy.
