    Looks like Bernie Sanders is feeling his own Bern, when people (even liberal media) are beginning to question how he intends to pay for the policies he suggests.



    They only talked about his free healthcare and he was so flustered, he spilt his coffee cup.

    Good answer... Here's the even funnier thing. People complain that Trump hasn't released detailed policies and Bernie hasn't laid out a single economic outline or tax plan for paying for his.

    Just because the radio programs you listen to say he hasnt, doesn't actually mean he hasnt.

    Another funny thing, I was going to make the point that no one cares that Trump hasnt released any policies but they skewer Bernie for what he has released.

    Trump falling in CNN's polling. Sanders rising.

    http://www.cnn.com/2015/09/27/politics/ben-carson-donald-trump-poll-2016/

    Poll: Ben Carson, Donald Trump run neck-and-neck

    Washington (CNN)Businessman Donald Trump and retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson are running neck-and-neck in the race for the GOP presidential nomination, while former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton continues to lose ground to Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, a new NBC News/Wall Street Journal national poll has found.

    Trump remains on top in the GOP field, capturing 21% of Republican primary voters, but Carson is at 20%, within the poll's margin of error.

    Former tech CEO Carly Fiorina and Florida Sen. Marco Rubio tie for third at 11% each, with former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (7%), Ohio Gov. John Kasich (6%) and Texas Sen. Ted Cruz at (5%) rounding out the rest of the field. No other Republican received more than 3%.

    On the Democratic side, Clinton -- who held a 60-point lead over Sanders in June -- has slipped to a 7-point advantage over the Vermont senator among Democratic primary voters, 42% to 35%. Vice President Joe Biden, who has not yet declared whether he will seek the Oval Office, comes in third with 17%. No other Democrat received more than 1%.

    When Biden is removed from the equation, Clinton's lead swells to 53% to Sanders' 38%.

    If you are really interested, go read his website..I did. There are dozens of articles that address his plan and again, if you're interested, they're easy to find mags..unless you're just baiting for arguments sake or looking for a sparring partner. I'm trying to read all the candidates proposals with an open mind. Trump and Perry were my early elimination candidates..didn't take long to erase them from my list.

    If CBS is liberal media, you must have been raised by Foxes.

    Let's see the detailed Republican plan to pay for the $3 trillion war their next president will unleash upon us.

    But doing that defeats his narrative. Er, I mean the Narrative of the talk radio shows he listens to.

    Sanders has said nothing about what he will do for Blazer fans. I find this unacceptable.

    I was forced to watch the Ducks game last night with my patient and had this panic attack that the Blazers could be as bad...horrible thought...graveyard shifts can tweak the worst fears sometimes.

    well, he IS a socialist, so obviously he believes that the NBA should share the best players, and under Bernies plan, we're next for LeBron!

    I've decided to no longer take your political takes seriously, because you obviously aren't.

    The liberal stat site shows we've paid 801 billion since 2001 per year. It's a bit lower than the 2.2 trillion per year Bernie wants to add.

    And I won't defend the DC Establishment republicans either. They are just as much responsible for maxing out our credit cards and spending more than we make each year.

    Ah good response. You keep on believing our country can handle maxing our credit cards and spending more than we take in. #Logic

    If you think that bitch is a liberal you're freaking crazy. She's a corporatist through and through.
