He bitched about Howard Shultz running as an independent but didn't Bernie Sandwiches himself run as independent himself right up to his last presidential run?

Who is strong enough to vote against "free shit"? I am going to run and promise every vote a million bucks. What do you think the voter turnout would be? And how much would I win by?

"The great pleasure in life is doing what people say you cannot do."

Two things:

1. Can a straight white male even have a chance at being nominated by the Dems? Don't they turn their back on the far left of their party by putting up the cause of their suffering and pain in the white male? This goes for all others like Biden, Beto, et al. this is not the year for them.

2. Shouldn't we start some age restriction on presidential candidates? We have an age requirement on the young end so why not on the top end? Sanders is going to be 78 this year, 79 when he would be elected, 80 his first year in office. Call me ageist but this is too damn old to run the country. All Candidates should have to be under 70 their first day in office. Assuming they are in 8 years that still leaves them at 77 at the end of their second term...too old, but its a start.

In the Senate, he's officially an Independent, though he caucuses with the Democrats (what a shock). He ran as a Democrat, as we all know, in 2016. But I think the Dems changed the rules to either make it harder for him and others of his ilk to do so in the future or to require them to declare and then hew to party rules if they opt to run as Democrats going forward. I'm sure one of Sandernista's commie sympathizer fanbois here (hahahaha!) can clarify for us. Heh.

You'd win in a walk and be lionized with Lenin-like statuary all over the U.S., buddy. That's what's pathetic and sad about folks like Sanders. Ugh.

"Politics is just show business for ugly people."

That's what happened here in AK with our Governor. He promised to give everyone back pay on the permanent fund dividend (previous Gov'r halfed it to help reduce the budget), AND not raise taxes of add new ones. So what happened?? He releases his budget with YUUUUUUGE cuts, and all the rural peeps with 3-8 kids are shitting their pants at the "divesting in rural airports", 41% cut to education funding, and on and on... Saw those dollar signs and didn't realize that it has to come from somewhere.

(in fairness I like the "this is what a balance budget looks like: not spending more than we take in" that he preaches and I think this was an eye opener. But the ones who voted for him SOLELY on the PFD being restored with back pay...some are NOT happy at all at what they lost. Always reminds me of the saying: Is the Juice worth the squeeze.)

Nobody believes in a free lunch. The masses are too smart for that. Ya gotta tell ‘em that Mexico will pay for it. That’ll sucker over 60 million mental midgets.

Better yet tell em all the rich bastards will pay for it. No one cares if we take a little coin off the rich. After all, we need it.

The old cock is apparently raking it in right now when it comes to online donations in the aftermath of his announcement. My guess is, it's mostly old hippies and socialists like him and, of course, a bunch of millennials who don't have a clue.

This guy nails the latter group. Considering they're such super-geniuses about history and stuff:

Socialism as a Millennial religion.

"The Millennials can’t remember very much – and they don’t learn very much either. It’s easy being hot for socialism or communism when you actually have a very little idea of what it is and what it did throughout the 20th century. And the Ys have that ignorance in spades; one third of them think that George W Bush killed more people than Stalin and 42 per cent have never heard of Mao – but over 70 per cent agree with Bernie Sanders. Some research suggests that only 15 per cent actually have a correct understanding of socialism. It’s not just politics; the Millennials are the most woefully undereducated and miseducated generation in a very long time. To be fair, that’s not strictly their fault; that attaches itself again to their Boomer grandparents who have been in charge of our failing education systems during this time. Combine the modern indoctrination-cum-dumbification taking place in schools and universities with the attention span-killing impact of information technology and social media, and you have a barely literate cohort, which is simply not equipped with the necessary mental tools to learn about the real world even if they wanted to.

Any surprises that socialism is now nearly synonymous with Gen Y?"

I wonder if he won and staffers got sexually assaulted if he'd be too busy being President to look into it?
