Bernie will make all Americans rich...




Or maybe not, he is only horrible in math

[Bernie Sanders]

STFU Goranz. You are a stooge for Russian imperialism.

[GoranZ]

[tzor]

That's the one thing I like about Bernie ... he asks good questions.

He comes out with answers that make you want to face palm, but the questions are good.

[GoranZ]

All true Bernie... But teachers and firefighters are not main contributors to your campaign... Big guys from Wall street are
And above all, you should mess with things you dont understand.

[Bernie Sanders]

Poor Goranz, you really don't know what you are talking about.

You should stick with talking nonsense about the Middle East, Russia and your boyfriend Putin.

What's wrong with adding Rich Fat Cats into boiling water? I heard that it adds a rich flavor to the broth.

Highly inequitable distribution of wealth and power - something American and China have completely in common.

Finally, some common ground

[Bernie Sanders]

The Rich folks better hope for a Bernie Sanders style revolution, otherwise in a few years there might be a French style, Russian or Chinese type of revolution.

Nothing like a good bloodbath to equal things out.....Off with their heads!

[mrswdk]

If you are referring to Mao and the Communists, that was a civil war resulting from a political power struggle, not a grassroots revolution against the bourgeoisie. Promises to seize land from landlords and giving it to the poor were just used to gain support later on in the campaign, not a reason for the conflict starting in the first place.

Can i point out that when George Washington ran for office... he did not once campaign for himself... ahhh the good old days of elections.

They only invite Millionaires and Billionaires at those events. I'm just a Thousandaire.....

It's rare indeed when every single citizen in America agrees on something, and this indeed is one of those occasions.

It's a 100% fact that Bernie Sanders will absolutely EXTRACT wealth from ALL Americans.

I think the fear is that, Republicans want keep their contributions pouring in from the rich fat cats. Once we have REAL campaign finance laws...Republicans might start believing in science.

Huffington Post :WASHINGTON (AP) — Republicans are the party of the rich, right? It's a label that has stuck for decades, and you're hearing it again as Democrats complain about GOP opposition to raising the minimum wage and extending unemployment benefits.

But in Congress, the wealthiest among us are more likely to be represented by a Democrat than a Republican. Of the 10 richest House districts, only two have Republican congressmen. Democrats claim the top six, sprinkled along the East and West coasts. Most are in overwhelmingly Democratic states like New York and California.

Don't just shove it to republicans. Hillary is receiving just as much from Wall Street. Biggest donors:

• Bernie Sanders: Alphabet Inc(98.8k$), University of California(33.5k$), Microsoft(31.1k$)
• Hillary Clinton: Soros Fund management(7mil$), Saban Capital group(2.5mil$), Paloma partners(2.5mil$)
• Jeb Bush: CV starr & co(10mil$), MBF Healthcare partners(3.2mil$), Rooney Holdings(2.5mil$)
• Ted Cruz: Wilks brothers(15mil$), Renaissance technologies(11mil$), Caprock Partners(10 mil$)
• Marc Rubio: Braman Motorcars(6mil$), Oracle Corp(3mil$), Citadel LLC(2.6mil$)
• Donald Trump: MDC Holdings(10k$), Auburn Manor Holding(8k$), Milwaukee Rheumatology Center(5k$)

Good job the most likely Republican nomination is Trump then, given that his billionaire wealth means he doesn't need to take donations from anyone.

Bernie,

I couldn't disagree more with your worldview regarding culture, economics, or just about anything (maybe we agree on sports a little). However, just looking at the way that the Democrat Party has set up their nominating system with the super-delegates, don't you fear that the deck is stacked against any candidate who won't toe the party line? Your message seems to resonate with the younger voters within your party.

In other words, you could mop up the electoral map state-by-state against Hillary Clinton, and those super-delegates would come in and over-ride the will of the voters during the convention. I think that the super-delegates were first created by the DNC during the 1984 race to ensure that Gary Hart wouldn't be allowed to defeat Walter Mondale, but I could be wrong about that.
