Tough to argue with his logic. I really hope he rocks the political world in a way that's been needed for a very long time.

To good to be true I say. It sounds nice, but he'd corrupt under power like all the others.

All the stuff he says he wants to happen, sadly, won't happen without changing the way people live in a dramatic way, where would he get the extra money from to pay people, how would he go about keeping people happy in a free world?

Well, it is an open question as to how exactly he plans on paying for subsidized healthcare and college education.  No such thing as a free lunch and all that.  It's no secret how a lot of other industrialized countries pay for their setups - higher taxes.  Don't get me wrong, I think that'd be worth it.  But there are tradeoffs involved.

This is something I don't understand, why is it that other countries can take care of all their people and not just the rich, and we can't. If the money from taxes went toward the people instead of the military industrial complex that makes the rich richer there would be more than enough money. We are over $3,000,000,000+ in debt because of the war machine and that's not counting Home Land security that has taken our rights away. Why should private money decide who runs for president? Isn't that where the problem lies? This is how the Mafia operates, give protection money to them, so the other crooks can't threaten you. 
Superb video APA!

As I've said before, I'll vote for Sanders in the primaries, and for the Democrat in the general.

I wish I didn't have to work and had seen him speak in Austin last year :/. Maybe he will be back while on the campaign trail.

I just took this quiz and I am apparently aligned with him 92%.

I don't think he'll win the primary, but I will likely vote for him. I will vote for Clinton if he loses.

A cynical habit of thought and speech, a readiness to criticise work which the critic himself never tries to perform, an intellectual aloofness which will not accept contact with life’s realities â€" all these are marks, not as the possessor would fain to think, of superiority but of weakness. -TR

Me too.  Center-left represent.

I'll likely vote for him in the primaries, but I'll be shocked if he gets the nomination.

I just have a distrust for all politicians tbh.

I guess I side with him 95% of the time.  I will probably vote the same as you.

So a general distrust of politicians by default makes them all corrupt all the time,  huh? Heck, I distrust the monarchy so perhaps I should distrust and assume all Brits are criminals? Maybe all gay people are criminals. Maybe all atheists are criminals. Perhaps I'm a criminal.

Bernie might actually snatch victory because HRC has just to much baggage while the only baggage Bernie has is being a self styled socialist democrat. If he can clear that hurdle he has a good shot at dispatching HRC to yet another failed candidacy..

No way. Clinton's brand is just too well established.
