would prefer an optimistic outlook and plan for growth vs a negative campaign of hitting on your opponent and blaming the past.. Hillary is looking towards the future.

Keep doing what yer doing.

Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

I remember how people lauded Reagan's optimism. At this point, being optimistic over trickle down, "free market" policies is just letting someone blow sunshine up yer butt. But ... to each their own. Best of luck with that

Status quo...status quo...hmm...
That's the very definition of a conservative.

13. She doesn't really have a plan

Bernie put forth plans with details and how he'd fund them. All Hillary has done, just like Trump, is talk platitudes. .. "Bernie's plan won't work, but I can make everyone happy."
What the hell plan is that? Just like Trump, she will make America better, and that's doing it, apparently , without any changes. What a snow job, at least for those gullible enough.

7. I live in Michigan. What he says is true. However I think Clinton and her surrogate political goons

have led an effective fear, uncertainty, and doubt campaign as well as leaned on constituency leaders in order to trick people from facing these kinds of truths.

Reaganism, aided and abetted by the Clintons, has helped wreck a lot of Michigan and helped wreck a lot of lives.

I see it first hand every day.

To support their types of policies is immoral and irresponsible.

10. And what I find incomprehensible
Sat Mar 5, 2016, 10:54 AM

is how can any fair minded person listen to Bernie speak and not understand what he means for the country?
I've also seen many videos of him on the Senate floor passionately arguing on the side of the people, standing up for our interests. Who is it who doesn't want this?
The only ones I can think of are the rich, corporate, entrenched interests and those that serve them. But in reality what percentage are they of the whole population?
The information has to get out, videos like this need to be seen. What regular American could resist this?
