He'll stop the powers that be controlling the establishment and destroy the banks no matter who gets hurt (including future retirees dependent on investments). He promises the impossible: free tuition for college for all, free medical for life for all, substantial increases in social security. HOW?!! Who will pay for this? Trump: I'll build a wall, I'll reject 1st Amendment protections for Muslims and Mexicans, I'll destroy all enemies and end trade with nations taking jobs away from Americans, bringing these jobs back. HOW?!! Who will pay for that? <br /><br />Unrealistic. Both are getting uglier in their attacks against foes, as are their followers.<br />Both believe it's worth anything to gain power. Both would be completely impotent if elected.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04541828632284556589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972382144120426476.post-50945966551450267112016-04-19T18:03:32.654-05:002016-04-19T18:03:32.654-05:00Where is Elizabeth Warren when we needed her?Where is Elizabeth Warren when we needed her?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972382144120426476.post-13047140175690762002016-04-19T18:01:43.076-05:002016-04-19T18:01:43.076-05:00This just in - how droll or sad is it to have the ...This just in - how droll or sad is it to have the Trumpster call 9-11, 7/11.

Basically, it's the way things work in much of the rest of the world. There's already a large "socialist" component to American government. Bernie, in my opinion, wants to add just a few more bits and pieces to that component, but he definitely wouldn't be able to change the entire system. Wall Street may be weakened, but it still wouldn't be weak. It too is a vital component in our system.<br /><br />johntatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10088632798195131329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972382144120426476.post-21776613497711024422016-04-19T16:13:43.072-05:002016-04-19T16:13:43.072-05:00Hatred only works when you've gathered up enou...Hatred only works when you've gathered up enough like people to effect change, what Sanders and Trump supporters seem to believe they have going for them. The fact their candidates have unworkable messages that will never come to fruition doesn't occur to either side. Their emotion will carry the day. These same people whom have deserted establishment candidates, dividing their respective parties, have forgotten extreme promises not delivered in the past is why they left for the current angry candidates.<br /><br />Well, stupid is as stupid does.

It's a waste of time to try and enlighten these folks, but I admire NS and anyone else who attempts it.
