Bernie is going to SAVE the Republican Party


In the ' election.. I was confronted with a decision. i couldn't make.. I hated what Republicans did to Obama unfairly.. and thought what they were going to do to Hillary with a little truth on their side, instead of a total lie.. I saw Hillary as supplying the fuel. to keep the fire burning
I saw Trump as the fire that would just burn the Republican down. decision was i preferred Trump to win than Hillary.. but couldn't bring myself to vote him.
Four years latter.. everything I thought about it was true. I know you folks can't see it.. but it's true.. if you can take away your fear that it may not be

Trump is burning down the Republican party.. inch inch and lie lie.

So now I got the decision,, as to whether to vote Bernie with his ability to resurrect the Republican Party. or vote Trump so he can burn it all down. So the Choice is to stay on this merry-go round..One "Revolution" at at time. and where it stops, nobody knows

Sander may inspire Dreamers.. but he will invigorate Republicans in state elections,

I am an registered independent...He will put other 'realists" like me.. in a bad position.

Call me crazy.. but Bernie can only be a one term president.. Bernie unsuccessful attempts to complete his promise will guarantee that.. And without an "ALL IN" of this country ....what Bernie proposes can not WORK .. And that failure will HURT the Democrat Party.
Whether Trump is president or Bernie..The economy is going to take an economic downturn. Exposed Bernie an attempted to be hidden trump, with LIES.. I rather blame Trump..Bernie will fuel that fire too.. People blame the President, not the Congress. And Sander's, unlike the Republicans, will get bi-partisan disapproval from Congress..
Much like Trump is '... With Bernie in 2020... will provide their Parties..with a dose of reality.

Seriously as much a Republicans want Trump.. As much Trump and the Russian want Bernie..
They have proven how short sighted they are..
Some Republican should support Bernie.. and damn well hope he wins.
Better for them to lose four years and be able to pick up the pieces..
Than to win, get impeached again, and destroy their party forever.

I have seen this act before..Not to this extreme..But the last time Democrat tried to oust the "establishments".. was McGovern. with the overwhelming support to end the War in Vietnam... McGovern still couldn't win.

Bernie's revolt against the powers of Money..seems similar to me..
AS Trump's irrational agreement based on Lies. It's assured failure. the partisanship of the the people and the money...Well it's existed for 250 year by agreement.. It now lacks the cooperation to make that agreement viable.

In 1941.. Yamamoto. said he feared he awaken a sleeping giant..that's now my fear.
the sleeping giant is the power of money..As Sander's espouses the evils of it..Like it can't get any worse..he fails to see how worse it could become. Our country is based on an agreement between the people and the money..A give and take. The people.. do not have the power, but to overthrow the government..and overthrow the money.. It's truly would need a Revolution...
Bernie sanders....overstates the power of the people.. the power of elections..As a RIGHT
Bernie overstates human rights and ideals..It's not they don't exist....It's just the rights granted by the powers to be.. And MOST that power is MONEY


So Bernie sander argues the evils of money.. when it money that grants him the power to do so.

Yesterday i lost interest in this primary, and it seems in the general election too..Too many Lies..Too much Trump and Russian interference, too much partisanship within the Democrats. It seems to me the middle of this country, will never again be able to shout down and shut down the EXTREMES.

My idea of people thinking for themselves is gone.. my idea of people rational behavior to incorporate both reality and their dreams is gone. The ideals of America which held opposing factions together is gone.

I ask myself... When is the power of socialism going to have enough.. when is the power of the people of color going to be enough. When is the power of those who must be enabled be enough...My conclusion to that.. is simply when WE...no Longer has any power to be had.

Just stay cool and vote against the cancer on our country.

The senate and the president do not represent the people. They must GO.
Party On!

Bernie is likeable but, healthcare is a big deal for people deciding which job to choose, or negotiating a labor contract ... labor disputes, strikes lockouts etc. If Sanders gets the nomination I don't see working people voting for the unknown Medicare for all.

I understand Bernie is promoting single payer insurance without corporations or the workplace involved unless an employer wishes to contribute to the employees tax that goes to the government insurance plan.

Each potential employee would then consider how much the employer pays toward his medical tax when hiring in.

How to handle Moscow itch is you force the votes in the Senate.. No porkbarrrel, or compromise. or tit for tat.. you put bills in front of the senate.. and take the vote..
The true hidden operation in government is the congress.
They all simply refuse to put it all on the line.. Mitch McConnell service that.. For example put the DACA vote to the senate.. see who's for it and against it. It's not about passing it , or defeating it.. It about where we stand.

The President can get that done.. he can force the senate to take a vote. No party politics.... vote your fricken conscience.

I have not lost faith in people.

People can not be so blind that they can not see what has taken place-------and is an ever increasing problem for this country and their families.

Everyone I know and associate with protects family first.
They are not easily misled.

When the election is upon us they will remember the last few years.
No need to panic
We have control if he choose to take it.
The time is NOW!
Party On!

It's darn hard to force McConnell to do that Cricket. He's got to go. There will NEVER be another McConnell...I don't think the republican caucus will allow it.

I disagree the Re[publican caucus wants Mcconnel.. they NEVER want to be put on the line for a vote.. That the public wants, but they will vote against.

It really a strength of a President.. to force a vote.
A President can expose what McConnell is doing to not bring up votes. there is almost always a sufficient number of bi-partisanship to bring up votes.. with McConnell it is about protecting those in a minority partisanship of not wanting to vote. There are minority Republicans who don't want to vote.. and Republican who would want to vote, but would cut their own throats, as soon as they open their mouth. McConnell has but one function.. to Protect the Republican Party.
