    I know his numbers are well below Hillary right now, but he is the highest ranking out of the "other than Hillary" candidates.
    And depending on who else officially declares, so far this looks like a Bernie vs Hillary decision.

    I really, really hope we get a groundswell of support for him.
    Enough that he could get the nomination.
    Granted, that's probably obvious. :)

    It's not that I found any dirt on him you should know about. I don't wanna derail this thread with a fiscal policy debate either. I suppose I'm just a bit too fiscally conservative to embrace all his ideas. Nothing personal.
    No offense it wasn't an attack on you. When I clicked your link my browser started glitching up and froze, then Malwarebytes popped up and said it blocked a potentially harmful site. That's just what happend when I clicked your link. Now that I clicked it again it didn't have that problem :)

    No worries, I didn't take it personally.
    Although, I am still curious about which policies you don't like. :)

    And I don't see how it would be out of place to discuss fiscal policies of Bernie's, seems like the more in depth we talk about him and his stances, the better for everyone.

    I love when he gets all loud and red in the face. Just got my Bernie 2016 bumper sticker.

    When a pollster calls me to ask who I'm going to vote for, my answer is Bernie Sanders. We're all better off when mainstream candidates are worried.

    I wanted to "Like" the last two comments, but I've reached my quota for the day.
    Again.


    (What the hell is with that anyway?)

    Pollsters never call me, because I don't have a landline. They seem to have a rule never to call cell phones. That's a big reason why polls are worse than ever.

    They call mine. I guess they just don't have your number.

    I like it and can easily get behind this.
    And not because it wouldn't cost me anything and only benefit my kid(s).

    I like it because it would be good for the country.
    And I'm someone who this would effect directly.
    I have some stocks and sometimes I sell them, which means I would have to pay this tax.
    If it was a huge tax, I would give pause... but, when it works out to be $50 tax on $10,000 of stock sales, it's easy to bear that cost.

    Especially when it would be so beneficial for our country in so many, many ways!!!

    I expect that you're right.

    But I hope you're not. :)

    I don't get why people don't care to help make the country they live in a better place to live.
    I mean, I understand the thought process of "leave my shit alone", but it just seems wiser to pursue a better educated populace... for the good of everybody.


    But, you certainly have the right to your opinion.
