I'd rather vote for Colonel Sanders.
At least, there'd be fried chicken,
biscuits, mashed potatoes & gravy,
and, cole slaw.

No way in Hell, would I ever vote
for Bernie.

I imagine that Bernie will meet the same fate as Jeremy Corbyn and the Labour Party here. They went full Trotskyite and as a result suffered their worst electoral defeat in eighty-five years. Huge swaths of the country (including myself) voted Conservative for the first time ever. Great news though, they won the argument according to themselves and everyone who didn't vote for them were both stupid and racist. We're just waiting for them to break into two pieces now, the insane part and the useless part.:laughing:

You Sir, are a prophet.

Still, Sander's idea of free education may mature into more scholarships, I hope
Like Merit scholarships, kids of single mothers ...
Get 75% of the class on scholarships

Longer term result, fewer billionaire kids campaigning for President

We'll all have to see what happens over the next few months and then in November. Prophecy is mostly only recognised in hindsight, otherwise it's just a guess that never happened :slight_smile:.
It's certainly true that a well-rounded education system is vital for any country if it's going to flourish. How that's provided and funded is up to the individual country. The only certainty is that failure to provide good and widespread education will hold you back.

Bernie Sanders will sell out again as he did in 2016 when he endorsed, supported and campaigned for Hillary Clinton

He is past the american expiration date. Let's get some candidates less than 70 who can deliver and work well with others, without the 'I already know it all' mentality. I love elders. They can be very resistant to the idea of not being the smartest in the room or having the best or only 'right' thought to contribute. I am not saying all by any rate, or even most. But those who have had a lifetime in power over other's lives and run for POTUS seem to have it in common.

South Carolina: Endorsements, Endorsements ...

James Clyburn's endorsement of Biden ahead of voting skewed the prediction in this thread.
Didn't see that coming.

Sanders economics - free college, free health care... are workable

But not minimum wage increase to $15
This would mean inflation by 20%
Your $1 coffee would cost $1.25 minimum

In previous post I suggested SC will write history is because
it is the least developed state among those on the East Coast
based on having driven on the I-95
And likely to fall for Sanders Economics
--xx

Scenario 2:
On the other hand, Steyers, Warren or some other dark horse during debate
And Sanders comes second
--xx

In all these scenarios, Biden comes in 3rd
He has a major trust deficit -- "Impeachment",
His continuous reference to Obama period
Imagine Warren saying "You Sir, are not Obama!"

How else do you explain steep descent in his ratings?

A week to go.



we don't explain us politics. Trump was elected, which defies explanation and all polling and ratings at that time.



I was once again viewing the first Trump Hillary debate on You Tube
the way 'Secretary Clinton' was demolished right from the start
Trump listing out names of companies closed in Penn., Michigan
while Hillary was listening as if it were fresh news that CNN did not have.

Hillary was dead at start.
Media had to keep her going because Hillary's money was in Media
Trump - nothing
====

But between the Democrats - so far Media has not polarized on any one candidate.


The democrats see companies closing as a good thing, getting rid of corporate America. The Democrates lives off people who are poor, on welfare, or minorities. Its part of their power to encourage socialism. The minimum wage is pretty much $15 in most places already, your lucky if you can get a cup of coffee anywhere for $1.00 or even $1.25. Many people are already willing to pay $5 for a coffee at Starbucks. Inflation isn't always a bad thing for such things as your wages go up and your mortgage remains the same. As with all media it depends on what you listen to as to who they are talking about. Bloomberg has many commercials out and has spent a ton of money but he really hasn't gotten much of a draw so far. As far as a woman for president I don't think most people have a problem with that in this day and age, but finding the right one is the problem.


I am not sure where that information is gleaned from. How does anyone 'live off' poor, or welfare, or minorities? How does any of that tie to socialism.

https://www.ncsl.org/research/labor-and-employment/state-minimum-wage-chart.aspx


The minimum wage is NOT $15 in most places.


I still think, even in this age, the status quo of 'man in charge' is something people still have bias towards, and a woman being there in place of a man is still something people have a problem with, at least at the executive level. I still think a woman in business or politics is held to a much higher scrutiny and standard than a man except, of course, when it comes to harassment in which women are given much more discretion and benefit of the doubt.



Socialism = some "Nationalization"
Amtrak is a fair example of people 'living off subsidies'


Under Socialism, like in India, Bank employees have minimum 10 days off in a month.

Example for March - minimum 11 days off:

March 1 is a Sunday
March 5 is a Wednesday and 1 state observes P R Day
March 6 is Friday when 1 state celebrates Chap Kut festival
March 8 is a Sunday
March 9 is Monday when UP will observe Hazrat Ali anniversary
March 10 is holi
March 11 to 13 – (3 days) Nation wide strike
March 14 is second Saturday
March 15 is Sunday
March 22 is Sunday
March 23 is Monday when 1 state observes Bhagat Singh Day
March 25 is Wednesday – 5 states holiday
March 26 is Thursday – 4 states observing Cheti Chand anniversary
March 27 is Friday – 1 state observing Sarhul festival
March 28 is fourth Saturday
March 29 is Sunday

After last night at the primaries, it looks like the choice will be 4 more years of Trump or an attempt to resurrect the Obama years. Maybe Mrs Obama can be his VP candidate so they can all have a family reunion!

he is the mirror of Trump, with the senile and crazy part, but he has spent a good deal of time in public service which makes me think he may give half a crap compared to Trump's not even giving one.

It does seem that Biden is suffering from dementia, which makes me wonder who he'll choose for his Vice-presidential running mate. They automatically take over the Presidency if he's declared unfit for office. Maybe you'll get that Hilary Presidential term that not enough people wanted the last time :laughing:.

Mystical was saying Bernie is a fighter - and he is.
Not a politician.
A deal with Pelosi... & S.Carolina would've been his.

Now the Dems present the Senator who cleared 21 % interest rate for Credit Cards
plus the 1.3% surcharge for each month delay.

Howszaaat!

I would really like to see Bernie in there ...

but realistically 1 more time they do not want him ...

now if the electoral votes where gone ...
I believe he would have s chance ... he would make a good vicpresident ...
but they don't have those same feelings ... but would still like him to keep his seat ... to better America ... which he very well would ...
