Socialist Government

[JohnR]

He is calling for "Political Revolution" and a lot of people are eating it up. particularly those under 40 that have no concept or context of the 70 years PAX Americana. Revolution with red flags and worker's fists.

He's 25 points behinbd her in every single national poll. Nebe, I desperately want hinm to get th enomination, but it's very unlikely. Maybe if she gets indicted, which I cannot believe is likely either.

I don't think so - there are a lot of people that believe this is the way. Many of those people ignorant of history and others that chose this path as career. Socialism is a career and enabling it furthers that career.

Or, it could be that his rhetoric against wall street resonates because people know it's pretty true. In this regard Sanders is much less politically correct than Trump...he just doesn't have to insult people to get attention.

Sanders and Trump are popular for exactly the same reasons

True.

Those drinking the Trump Kool Aid, by and large, want the feds to get their feet off their throats so they can make a living and send their kids to college.

Those drinking the Sanders Kool Aid are, by and large, jealous and entitled and want to be handed that which others kill themselves to achieve. Gimme, gimme, gimme.

Sanders also has a similarity with the terrible Koch brothers:

What's pretty true? The business is evil, and if we just reduce their profits by a teenie-tiny bit, we can all have free healthcare and free college?
