"But Bernie's plans are pie in the sky 'cause the mean, old Republicans won't ever go along."

"If the Democratic Party would fight as hard for the Working Class as the Republican Party fights for the Ruling Class, the Republicans would be a powerless minority party within a few election cycles.

The Democratic Party knows this, the Republican Party knows this, the Ruling Class knows this- and they've been astonishingly successful at making sure the Working Class never learns this.

The status quo was rolling along just fine, until Bernie Sanders came along and mucked it up with his crazy ideas about democracy, equality and justice."

The Third Way and warmonger stuff is right up the GOP's alley, as is fracking.

No thanks.

Establishment Dems love having the Repugs as an excuse to not do anything to upset the status quo.

Sanders doesn't have that number. Just like he had to admit in a debate he didn't know what his highest tax rate.

That is why his plans are pie in the sky. Even Sanders doesn't know the actual numbers. He's got big ideas but not the specifics.
