Wonder why the Republicans are so quiet about a Socialist running?

[StayFrosty]

Yea me neither

Look at what they tried to do to Obama, they demonized the ACA and Obama by labeling him a Socialist

Now imagine what they would do to an actual Socialist who went to the Soviet Union for his honeymoon who had close ties to actual Socialist parties....

And we're supposed to just believe that the American people would elect a Socialist after what the Republicans did to Obama?

1. Don't worry, HRC will be fine, and will be called such

I know, heard them, the talking points I mean.

You guys have no idea what is coming.

Ah... sits down, grabs a cold one, wth a bowl of popcorn, All that remains is the damn fucking show. It will be fun.

[Dem2]

10. No stake in this election eh?

[nadinbrzezinski]

11. Just a show

at this point

[Dem2]

12. Must be nice

To be independently wealthy and have no kids in college who's future will be destroyed if Trump is elected.

[nadinbrzezinski]

14. Must be nice to make such huge ASSumptions

Any other insults you wish to post?

[Dem2]

15. Nope. I can't afford to be casual about an election that could lead to our destruction

But hey, put your feet up on your recliner and enjoy it.

[nadinbrzezinski]

16. Well I can, and that has to do with what has happened thoughout this process

I am as non engaged anymore about this as I was with Mexican elections. Ok I report on this shit so I am not quite that disengaged.

Though you have one thing right, it could very well lead to our species extinction... but they won't ask me... nor do they care what I think. And anyway, I am seeing strategic mistakes the size of the solar system at this point... so there is that.

20. Hillary is going to massively redistribute wealth from the middle class to the wealthy globally

by implementing the guest worker "movement of natural persons" programs that allow corporate labor mobility.

Thats the consensus from economists. Its going to hurt our indigenous workers a lot.

[nadinbrzezinski]

21. I know what she is going to do,

but that is because I understand neo liberalism.

[Baobab]

25. me too

and that is what she has to do, since they signed on to it 20 years ago

bernie will pint out that they were clearly exceeding their mandate to do that. They cant give away the whole country's jobs.

[timmymoff]

22. We can hardly wait to get a kinder

gentler screwing from Hillary. it will be better though, the dem may just use lube, we can only hope.

[Dem2]

23. No Democrat I know talks like that

Not that I am native enough to think that more that about 50-60% of this site are Democrats. I suppose it's even ironic that I'm a registered independent, but I know which party cares about the issues important to my family.

[timmymoff]

26. well I'm rather blunt in my assesment of the current democratic party

and you are correct, we are unlikely to know each other. If we did it would be short lived friendship once I noticed you were a corporate dem. I would just move on down the line. I really do not want to share ideas with a groups who lives by the motto, " no we can't" The democrats are slightly gentler as I said, you act like they are leaps and bounds differenst news flash, they aren't. Democrats supporting the corporations over the people, i.e. Hillary just aren't my cup of tea. It's not me, it's well, you and your lot .

[Dem2]

29. Nice stereotyping

It's the biggest weakness of "your side" (using the 'us' versus 'them' condescending style that you're comfortable with.)

[timmymoff]

30. I'm quite comfortable with calling it tough love

You would call it violent

[beachbumbob]

2. They keep quiet to keep sanders in the game with the

Outside chance and then their cannons would destroy him in the general election easily....sanders NEVER been vetted on the national stage...wonder why?...,saving it for hopes to face the old socialist in November and a crushing defeat to sanders

[griffi94]

3. The GOP slime machine

would savage Bernie.

And given what I've seen of his inability to explain
his positions and his penchant for unhinged sounding rants
he'd do half their work for them.

Thankfully it isn't going to matter
because Bernie won't be our nominee.

[Thinkingabout]

4. The GOP wants Sanders in the GE and then he would be vetted and the

Nasty remarks will roll. They ha e shot the best with Hillary and lost.

[morningfog]

6. Hillary is a godsend for the repubs. Boone energizes them like the Clintons.

They are salivating at a Hillary nomination. It will unify the repubs, drive out the vote and generate the money.

[Matt_in_STL]

7. Your posts are Brockin' tonight!

Don't spend it all in one place.

[nc4bo]

24. LOL! nt

[VOX]

8. As long as Bernie chomps hard on Hillary's pantsuit leg...

and won't let go, he enjoys a complimentary pass from the right wing. Politically, that's sound strategy; why jump in now when Democrats are battering each other?

Thus, to date, Bernie has yet to face serious incoming fire from the 24/7 reactionary machine. And if he were to somehow miraculously attain the candidacy, he'd have to walk at a 45-degree angle into a withering blast of flaming-hot negative cacophony. He'd be carved up like a holiday turkey.

[Downwinder]

9. Just like Hillary supporters, they don't think he

is for real.

[Eric J in MN]

13. Bogus premise. Republicans have been smearing Sanders.

Rush Limbaugh calls him "Crazy Bernie."

Donald Trump called Sanders "Crazy Bernie" and a "communist."

[doc03]

17. You think that is smearing Sanders. They have been doing 10 times worse than that

to Hillary Clinton since 1992 and she is still standing.

[doc03]

18. He went to the Soviet Union on his honeymoon? Do these young Bernistas have any idea

what the Soviet Union was? Do they know Lee Harvey Oswald also visited the Soviet Union? Do they know about the
millions of people that went missing in Siberia to never be seen again in those days? Do they know the Soviet Union
had nukes right next door in Cuba? Do they know we almost went to WWIII over those nukes?

[YOHABLO]

27. Very lame dude. What does any of this have to do with Bernie Sanders?

[doc03]

31. He is a little too interested in the communist USSR for me. He only became

a Democrat a few months ago out of convenience. He declares himself a Democrat a in order to run for president then
whines about the rules. If he wanted to run for president as a Democrat he should have became a Democrat decades ago and
tried to change the rules he complains about. Why is he running as a Democrat? He knows most Americans won't vote for a Socialist.
Why is it his fellow Senators and house Democrats aren't endorsing him?

[Eric J in MN]

28. Sanders made an official trip to the Soviet Union

...to meet a Soviet mayor.

Sanders brought staff and his wife.

He jokingly calls it his "honeymoon in the Soviet Union" because the trip was shortly after he married Jane.

[Skwmom]

19. Bernie is a Democratic socialist with a long recored AND would have a congress full of

Democrats and Republicans.

That is the wrong label applied to an unknown person.
