Senator To Announce Bid For Democratic Nomination
Moderators: kiore, Blip, The_Metatron
Bernie Sanders dropped a reality bomb on the corporate media by declaring that Donald Trump will not be elected president.
Sanders was asked by CNN’s Anderson Cooper about his comment that Donald Trump is a pathological liar. The Democratic presidential candidate responded by unloading on Trump.
Sen. Sanders (I-VT) pointed to Politico and PolitiFact fact checks that found Trump statements untrue and said:
Overwhelmingly, almost everything he says is just not true. He just says things off the top of his head…Time after time, he says things that are just not true, and I think more and more people understand that. That is above and beyond the fact that almost every day he is insulting Latinos, and Mexicans, Muslims, women, African-Americans.
I mean there is a reason why this guy will not be elected President Of The United States. That type of temperament. That kind of divisiveness which his engendering. The kind of violence that he is encouraging is not what the American people want.
In Utah, when I beating Donald Trump by eleven points in what is one of the most conservative states in the country, it is clear to me that Donald Trump is not going to be elected President Of The United States of America.

(CNN)Bernie Sanders has proved to be a durable Democratic presidential candidate based on his vision of democratic socialism. But while the Vermont senator's ideas may be new to many, he's actually been articulating them for decades -- including as a frequent guest on CNN's former debate show "Crossfire."
Show transcripts from 1998 to 2014 show he's been remarkably consistent. Much of Sanders' language could be taken straight out his 2016 stump speech. Though on some issues, such as health care, foreign policy, and the VA scandal, his views have shifted slightly in the midst of his run for the highest office in the land.

These people aren't Big Business, even if they own several hundred rental properties, they're small potatoes. There must be a happy medium, a position at which consumer rights are protected, but business owners can still turn a reasonable profit. Most of the disagreement, IMO, centers around what is "reasonable".

He was saying the US should not be using their military to fight for Saudi Arabia. They can use their own military for that. He also said that Israel is not innocent either, and they contribute to the problems with the Palestinians.
I would need to re-watch it today but I think his positions are more nuanced than the media is reporting.

Last night was about all the manoeuvring Obama was forced to do to get any part of Obamacare through Congress. Then he had the House of Reps with him. I just tried to imagine how Sanders would ever get any one of his pipe dreams through. Impossible.

As has been explained to you numerous times Scot, through the people at the political revolution Sander's is proposing.
Funny thing is, they all said the same things you were saying to Martin Luther King.

Just a drive by post, while I throw some chicken nuggets on the oven.
Carry on.
