    1. @Ahmad Shahnawaz Dear, what the same history repeats again, it would be too late. I am very sorry. I have been extremely blunt in the forum to the extent of being condemned by Bernie Bros. But then again truth hurts

    2. Bernie is surging because WE THE PEOPLE WANT POLICY…..NOT PLATITUDES!!! Bernie2020!!!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

  1. Speculation about who Trump did and didn’t want to be the nominee was fine back when there wasn’t really any evidence about it. Now there have been released tapes of Trump himself saying he wouldn’t want to face Bernie.

  2. Lol. Bernie is polling as high as anyone against Trump… He’s polling higher among independents than every democrat in the race.

    1. William H Music 2020 Last time I checked, 65 million is more than 62 million.

      That’s a pretty sexist comment to make about Democrats or people in general. I take it you’re one of those Homophobes that claims to be a “Christian” but isn’t really. The LGBT community and their allies only gets larger every time you far-right conservatives voice your opposition. The only thing the Electoral college showed is how people disperse. The GOP hasn’t won the popular vote in a presidential election since 2004 and before that, 1988. It’s clear that Americans, for the most part, reject conservative politics. Eliminate the Electoral College and you would’ve had Al Gore as President, not George Bush AND currently would’ve had Hillary Clinton. And… the National Popular Vote movement is 74 electoral college votes away from having this enacted into law. When that becomes the case, GOP candidates will have to campaign in deep blue cities like NYC and LA in order to have any chance of victory. Trump is killing your party. The fact that you don’t see that is beyond stupid.

    2. @Terry Tater I bet you turn into a little HOG hound on the weekends…am I right?🤔

    1. @Ian685 Nothing about your life would change. It would just save you the hassle of researching and paying for an out of pocket insurance plan at the start of the year. Does not affect your care at all.

    2. @Ian685 If you work, you can afford to buy groceries, of course. Even if you don’t work, you’ll still get healthcare.
      If you’re in a position where you don’t have money to buy groceries and you do work then clearly you need help in some other area of your life.
      Part of Bernie’s planning is raising minimum wage to a living wage.

  3. They use the word “socialist” like a dirty word. Bernie is a progressive. He is for the working class and justice for all!!!

    1. His policies are in line with FDR, literally calling for another “New Deal”. And in case you don’t know who FDR is, he was that guy who ran got 4 consecutive terms as president, took the country out of the great depression and through the second world war, but apart from that he was an absolute nobody.

    1. @Travis 😂 🤣 😅 You just can’t argue your own point because you are ignorant to what you are arguing for. It’s just that simple.

  4. Bernie will crush trump ! Look at the polls – Bernie vs Trump ; Bernie wins by a margin and importantly Bernie appeals to rust belt

    1. @spliffsperlunk . So on one thread you’re saying fox supports Bernie cause he can’t win and here you’re antagonizing Bernie supporters. You seem desperate

  5. They talk like Bernie is s commie. He isn’t – a hard working man on behalf of the US nation. Worked hard for the vets.

    1. @Magnus Marz Bernie supported Martin Luther King. He was ARRESTED for this. There isn’t a commie bone in his body. Grow up – and learn the bloody diff. between Communism (Venezuela, Cuba) and Democratic Socialism (Canada, Europe – where I happen to LIVE).

    2. Alice Mcveigh Jesus Christ how many more times are we gonna hear that Bernie got arrested for protesting. Wow he spent a couple of hours in a jail cell, he’s a regular Nelson Mandela huh. What did Bernie do for civil rights after that, move to Vermont the whitest state in the country? Gave some speeches where he said that racism was “bad”? Big deal. How did he vote on the 1994 crime bill that ended up mass incarcerating million of African Americans? That’s right like Biden he voted for it.
      And you better be aware that the right is going to paint Bernie as a “communist” because that’s what they do with leftists like him in America. You don’t live here so you don’t know. That might not carry any weight with you kids but to those over 40 who remember being raised in the culture of he Cold War it will have more resonance and it will impact support for him among older independents. Think I’m wrong? I’ve seen this happen twice before to staggeringly good effect for the republicans. Maybe YOU should educate yourself on the American political campaigns of the past and see what the republicans do to Bernie like candidates.

    3. Bernie also put into legislation 2014 H.R. 3230 into place for veterans. No other candidate can have as much work done as Sanders. 40 years plus with the same message.

    4. Demi Anguiano zzzzz. Zzzzz zzzz zzzzz wow one forgettable veterans bill over a career of 40 years. I can already feel the losing.

  6. If they nominate Biden, they will lose worse than 2016, and they will deserve it. DNC is just as arrogant as Trump. I hope the people speak loud this year.

    1. The DNC must be sadomasochist or something.
      There’s no other reason why they want to lose that bad, and condemn your country into 4 more years of Trump.

    2. You are exactly right. Sadly, I fear your message will fall on deaf ears, aka establishment Dems who have no clue how to defeat a dangerous demagogue like Trump.

    1. @William H Music 2020 The other candidates are corporate socialist who are in the pockets of the rich.
      I’ll take Bernie

    1. @Tessmage Tessera Yes, but they will do it with every democratic nominee, whilst in the primary they are objective in their hatred for the dems. CNN, MSNBC and the other Establishment crooks are so much in the tank for the Elite that they dont even try to hide it anymore.

    2. Yeah, that is sad when Fox news has more integrity. They might not Like Sanders plans, but at least they don’t push that elitist agenda.

    3. @Tessmage Tessera Yeah, which is the reason that he has the biggest chance of winning. He is not beholden to the establishment, and can actually do something for the people.

  7. Bernie as president, would be the best thing ever happend to the Us and the rest of the world… Finally the Us cut become a civilzed country…..

  8. “He gives people a voice who have not had a voice before,” she said. “He sees the unseen such as people with disabilities, low-income workers, people with medical conditions. He sees the younger people in financial distress.” guess who this was about

    Yes Bernie Sanders

  9. “The Right and the Left like Bernie this is why he isn’t an electable candidate…. Okay what?? 🤔😐

    1. Magnus Marz There is no far left. Bernie is fighting for things many developed countries, My German friend empathize with the lack of services that they take for granted in Germany.

    2. Magnus Marz Did you even listen to the tapes wgwre Trump was scared of Bernie on trade and they laughed about Biden if he ran (tapes took place before cnaidates states running for 2020).

    3. spliffsperlunk 😂 I love this mindset. Helps Bernie, the praise and smears only give Bernie more coverage and make him stronger.

    1. Philip Teague if somehow trump and Bernie end up in a debate trump will destroy himself in a matter of minutes. Trump is a political child compared to Bernie.

    1. Sanders gets so much flak from corporate media because his campaign is upsetting the dominant apple cart. He relentlessly exposes a basic contradiction: A society ruled by an oligarchy defined as “a government in which a small group exercises control especially for corrupt and selfish purposes” can’t really be a democracy.

      The super-wealthy individuals and huge corporations that own the biggest U.S. media outlets don’t want actual democracy. It would curb their profits and their power.
