Kleptocratic nepotism with rampant corruption is more Trump's bag. Nice try though JB.

And Trump is Putin's bh

[kowalski655]

Yeah,they thought"vote blue no matter who" would get the Bernie support to back the expected winner:Biden, but they are not so happy now Bernie is in front, I bet that slogan might go quiet

M4A will cost LESS(as per that interview & loads of studies)
Here is a response on other funding,not sure if its from the same interview

The article at the end deliberately misrepresents the tax so called "increase" for M4A..

Guthrie: Will you raise taxes for the middle class in a Sanders administration?

Sanders: People who have health care under "Medicare for All" will have no premiums, no deductibles, no copayments, no out of pocket expenses. Yes, they will pay more in taxes, but less in health care for what they get.

So, here's what we now know about Sanders' plans for America:

1) He isn't sure how much they will cost.

2) He isn't totally sure how he will pay for them.

3) It's likely they will be paid for by an increase in taxes on the middle class.

Paying $8K less in premiums and $2K in taxes seems like a win to me..or am I wrong?

I had to laugh when they were trying to have a go a Bernie about his Castro comments, even Biden tried it despite the fact that Obama said exactly (it's on youtube) the same thing but when Bernie says it it's because he's a communist

Yet again apart from Warren & Sanders none of the others came out with any substantial policies actually that's giving them to much credit they had nothing.

ANYTHING That Bernie says is going to be twisted as being communist,socialist or worse. All bks!

Saw today that he recorded a folk album years ago! The man is freaking awesome
And waaay better than Trump singing about chickens

....So, it appears there is a citizens push for Bernie and a Washington D.C. push against him.

.. What happened to unity? When the DNC thought Biden was going to win they couldn't stop talking about unity Hilary was only spouting about this last month now it's all out war as the corporate democrats go all out to keep the finance contributions rolling in the same as before even if it means another 4 years of Trump, loving the contradiction.....

It was all"vote blue, no matter who" when Biden was favourite, now it dosnt seem so popular
Thats why Bernie needs to win big, or a brokered convention will fk him over,guarenteed

[kowalski655]

DNC superdelegates have openly said they would vote against Bernie, even if he had most votes.
Yay democracy!

The reporter asked what was the man most looking forward to hearing Trump say. The man said something like “he can say anything he likes, I’ll be entertained, I love the man to death”
I think it’s fair to say Trump will win again....

He's like a modern Jesus.

Actually,it is Bernie Sanders that was a carpenter for a while, and is a Jew,and a socialist,so surely the evangelical lot should be supporting him!

I’ve found myself wondering why Biden gets so much of the black vote? Is it purely the Obama link? Or some other reason? Bernie has been campaigning for decades to end segregation and has even been arrested for it a few times. Why is he not more popular to that demographic?

The socially conservative end of the black vote is church-going, Biden has appeal to them.

A lot of older black people in SC, whereas Bernie outpolls Biden 3-1 with young black people.
SC will vote Trump in the election anyway

[kowalski655]

Sounds like the old rules would have benefited Bernie more!
AIUI they have always voted for the one with most votes before anyway...just not this time. I wonder why?

I wonder how many votes will still be cast for Mayor Pete and Steyr, now they're not in the race. That will hamper Biden,and,for the first time, Bloomberg

Trump is now the youngest male candidate in the 2020 presidential election

Which is why he was attacking Sanders over his age

Despite being younger,Trump seems knackered, dazed and confused, rambling. Bernie's fired up, enthusiastic

[kowalski655]

If Pete's voters go to Biden or Warren, that can tip them over 15% and get them State delegates too,they were just under 15% IIRC

[kowalski655]

Although I'm sure I read that people tend to vote for personalities, not always political positions,and Bernie was 2nd choice for most,even Biden supporters surprisingly
It is possible I imagined or misremembered this

Texas has closed hundreds of polling stations
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/mar/02/te...
Mostly in poorer black & latino areas, thus favouring the GOP(& centrist Dem primary candidates)

[kowalski655]

Halb said:

that's quite foul

Par for the course withthe GOP

[kowalski655]

And let's not forget the additional address ID requirements the GOP insisted on in ND, that affected the native tribes very badly,as they don't use addresses(but they voted Dem!)
Now settled out of court

Slightly out of date now 3 centrists have gone but a very good video

Biden now ahead in Texas!

Americans don’t want a revolution, they just want to see the back of the most corrupt president in American history and restore dignity to the office.

They want to be bankrupt from medical bills, pay over the odds for college (unless you're poor,then no chance), a few more wars, etc

California and New York are prosperous because the other poor states like Mississippi allow them to be, it is a symbiotic economic and defensive alliance.

How does Missouri allow California to prosper?

By getting loads of Federal aid

[kowalski655]

When is Warren going to quit?She has done nothing apart from split votes from Bernie Sanders (maybe thats her plan to suck up to the DNC/Biden?) Cant even win her own state!
