Nailed it!

Not yet. Klobachar just quit and endorsed Biden. Apparently Obama had a call to her as well. This is the Democrat establishment trying to head off Bernie. Not sure if it will be effective though. If they succeed the Bernie Bros are going to be pretty mad about it.

And another Democrat hope turns sour.

Not looking too good for the US version of Corbyn/Steptoe.

Well, I for one am voting Bernie. Have to say this is where we are headed, so why delay the pain. Better to get it over with, endure a few years of commie paradise and then join the New American Revolution.

Also, as soon as Bernie turns on the free college, I will be going for my doctorate. Why not, I have time.

Biden taps Beto for gun control? Another failed politician....

More devaluing of money, if you think it to the end. Bubbles get blown up further. Stock price numbers get artifically boosted. Price and value should be seen strictly different, however.

The less a coin means, the more coins you have to give for something.

Another Vote that is going down the toilet.

Sure. Let the Republicans back someone other than Trump and I'd likely vote the ticket. As it is the toilet is already in office and the plumbing has blacked up.

- He's the only one who can beat Trump

- She has was it take to take on Trump

- He can beat Trump

Throughout the day I have now and then seen some news coverage on the Dem election and one of our news channel's journalist who's in USA was interviewing some supporters to Bernie, some female candidate(forgot her name) and Joe.

It was not like which type of President they would be, if they won both this election and the Presidential election.

Only type of answers like "My father is stronger than your father" -type of answer.

Is that common in USA ?

"Free" to you and Comrade Bernie means paid for by the taxpayers. Nothing personal Neal but I don't want to pay for your damned education. If you Neo-Bolsheviks actually get into office and I am forced to pay for it, along with all the other "free" things they will dump on us, it will only make me resent both them, and you to a pretty extreme degree.

Speaking of Bernie. Leon Panetta is on MSDNC right now claiming that the worrisome thing about Bernie possibly winning the nomination is not that he's a Socialist or that his programs will bankrupt the nation and cause massive civil strife. No none of that is important. What IS important to Leon is that Comrade Bernie might "not be able to beat Trump" and that he could "damage the party" trying to do so. No mention of the what would be best for the American people, oh no, the party always comes first.

Mr Quatro · 03-03-20, 08:24 PM

If Bernie wins, and I don't think he will, it will be called

"The Changing of America"

instead of make "America great again"

No way will the DNC allow Bernie to run against Trump

And now it's the right wing bleating again about how the country will be ruined instead of the left wing. The seesaw tilts again and nothing much changes.
