then there's reality.......

"Sen. Bernard Sanders‘ promises of a democratic socialist revolution have enthralled liberal voters this campaign season, but the Vermont independent’s legislative record shows he has had a tough time turning his progressive vision into reality.

During his quarter-century in Congress, Mr. Sanders has been the chief sponsor of just three bills that were signed into law: two renaming U.S. Postal Service offices in his home state of Vermont and one that increased the annual cost-of-living raise for veterans’ benefits, which he secured as chairman of the Senate Veterans’ Affairs Committee in 2013."


maybe we'll get some more post offices renamed....I think he's meeting with his running mate today...Rev. Al Sharpton

If he somehow gets the nomination, his running mate is going to be Lie-awatha, Liz Warren. She want-um teepee of great white chief.

Nebe, this is the projection of en economist who admits he is a fan of socialism.

Most other economists are confident it would be a disaster.

Nebe, the places you suggested as examples of wehre socialism "works", are tiny, lilly white countries that don't allow significant immigration, and in the case of Norway, they have more oil than they know what to do with.

On the GOP side, fatty is out. I wonder if that helps Kasich more than Rubio. Carson, Bush, Fiorina need to go as well.
