    I’m more worried about who can beat Donald Trump in 2024, 2028, and 2032.

    I doubt they will remove prison term limits for Trump. He probably won't get life.

    real talk, I don’t think trump will be the least bit punished for his illegal acts, but I appreciate the optimism.

    55% of Americans now own stocks. This includes stocks in retirement funds such as 401, IRA, and mutual funds.

    Serious question.
    IF Sanders, or any Dem, becomes president and implements higher corporate taxes. What affect will higher corporate taxes have on the value of retirement funds and stocks owned as investments?

    55% of the people would like to know.

    Thats why the Nordic countries treat corporations as contributors so all citizens can pay and extremely high fed tax to support their programs. Now with more and more immigration challenges with many not working or contributing its creating issues with citizens as they are paying the high tax for those that wont contribute.

    I just can’t see how Sanders can even get 1/4 of his proposals done even if the Dems won House and senate somehow. I mean think about it...

    Healthcare for all (including illegals)
    College for all
    Green new deal
    Internet for all
    Etc.

    Even if you taxed the 1% at 100% you ain’t even touching the budget needed for that shit. It would mean, us, the average American footing the tax bill, while yes you get services but what will the quality be? Everything else will be far more expensive too with Green New deal proposals.

    Economically this is suicide.

    Yeah, maybe. But then again, he got way fewer votes in NH this time than he did last time, so maybe his numbers are trending toward zero.

    If you only use two data points, you can prove almost anything.

    Seriously, though, Bernie is already worried about Bloomberg and the advent of him "buying a nomination".

    With Hillary out of the picture, the democratic infighting is gonna be spectacular this time around. Bernie should be the clear front-runner, but it seems to me the party doesn't want him
    You're a quasi-pirate. You frequently post on the S2 Blazers Board.

    Was a significant drop from where Sanders was 4 years ago though. The fact that it was so close is not a good sign for the Sanders camp.

    Maybe because he really isn't a democrat. Why should he get money from the democrats when he is clearly an independent.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    If he ran as an independent, that would be absolutely awful for Democrats. They should be really thankful he runs as a Democrat. Also, he caucuses with Democrats. So, for all political intents and purposes, he's a Democrat.

    I don't think the Party hates him or even dislikes him. I think he just falls behind other people in the establishment hierarchy/seniority. Some probably also have (unjustified, IMO) electability concerns.
