"we take all and every"

Unfortunately my only hope now is that those of you saying Trump is going to actually attack corporate corruption and dark money influence in the political process are right. I don't think you are but I certainly know Biden wouldn't touch it with a 10 foot pole.

needless to say, it's going to be disappointing if not.....flipping the house is the critical element at this point....

he's the one lame duck with opportunity unabated if that happens....hopefully, the pubs learned their lesson after the first merry-go-round...it's fairly apparent those ding-dongs have at this point...

just another in the long list of #henceDJT

My belief is the only "corruption" he'll go after is on the DNC, which great that does need to happen, but he won't do anything about the corporate oligarchs on the right and won't touch campaign finance reform. Hope I'm wrong since it's about a 95% chance he's getting a second term now.

I realize you love Bernie, which is perfectly fine, but honestly, Trump would have beaten Bernie worse than he will Biden. I mean, Biden took down Bernie on Super Tuesday without even trying.

Maybe, maybe not. We'll likely never know. The voters that went overwhelmingly for Biden (older black voters) would in a general election vote for Bernie just out of democratic machine politics. A whole lot if not all of the fanatical "anti Trump at any costs" people would vote for him just for that reason no matter what. Bernie's Latino support would really play up in swing states. It would come down to who's anti trade agreements populist message played better in the Midwest. You'll obviously say Trump and I'll say I'd need to see it tested. Not gonna matter anyway Biden will get smashed because Trump can batter him over the head from all directions. Can crush him for trade agreements, the war in Iraq, trying to cut medicare and SS, supporting segregationists, lying more times about more different things than anyone could ever keep up with, any amount of Hunter Biden stuff that fires up his base, DNC establishment corruption, and then just for good measure being senile.

Dem establishment worked their magic to screw over Bernie yet again. With that said, if Bernie was about fighting the good fight (like he says), he would stick it to the establishment by running an Indy campaign. Talk is cheap, Bernie.

Bernie screwed himself by being a socialist in a country that doesn’t really want one.

He’s the cool gal with the nice personality you meet for coffee and every time you see her afterwards she gets a little meaner and uglier.

Money talks BS walks, I guess we now know Bloomberg = BS.

Just look at the results from yesterday. Bernie's support comes from the under 30 crowd. And exactly 13% of them turned out. Polls show that Bernie's support with people age 45+ is weak, and they actually turn out to vote.

I don't think you realize how the word socialist plays with peeps a decade older than you, especially with him defending Castro recently.

Beyond that, Bernie wouldn't lose due to offering free stuff (which gets him the young crowd). He would lose for the label he puts on himself, for his continued praise of socialist and communist regimes, and for his inability to explain how he would pay for all his programs without taxing the crap out of everybody, not just the super rich.
