Do you think Bernie will beat Hillary as the Democratic nominee?
If he does not, do you believe it's some kind of conspiracy against him?
I am asking these questions very seriously... No sarcasm at all.

Easily.
The crowds, support, money and enthusiasm are all there for Bernie. Plus he has the ability to get Republicans on board as well as Independents and is doing VERY well in that segment. The reason why is because once they listen to him, they agree and he is certainly 100 percent the real deal and genuine. His record is solid and the most consistent of anyone ever in congress. He NEVER dances the issue, and what you see is what you get.
Hillary only has the money and thats it. I do not see a scenario where Bernie can lose at all.

There is certainly some interesting things about Bernie.
I do agree that there is probably not a more "honest" politician in DC. He does what he says.

we had a threat on getbig a few years back. 94% of the time, the canddiate with the most $ wins that election.
I think hilary is outright trash, and I'm not a huge bernie fan, but I've ALWAYS wanted it to be bernie or warren, versus Cruz, in order to get the 2 extremes against each other in the general election.
he needs money.

How exactly is a socialist going to draw Republicans and independents?

How exactly is a socialist going to draw Republicans and independents?
lol very good i was thinking the same thing he'd be lucky to get any i see everywhere "I'm a democrat but i'm voting for -insert republican name here-" but i haven't heard personally a single republican say anything even remotely positive about Bernie...Independents clearly leaning towards the republican party and it's clear as day

You believe this?
I don't think that's true at all, but that's just from talking with most people. Unless you mean Trump is getting the "independents"?

I know this. The independents love Trump and Trump is most likely to be nominated..so i say independents are leaning towards the republican party....He is doing great with the independents...This is why he says it every time he has a speech lol...He was just in New Hampshire in front of thousands of liberals and actually got standing ovations...Many were not on his side at all...In fact most likely most of them...But the fact that he can take any of those votes is important...He made a lot of good points...Once he starts his womens rights campaign with his wife and daughter and then he actually starts advertising and people REALLY start HEARING HIM instead of listening to the liberal media's skewing of his words...There will be more independents rolling in where that came from....
Lack of support for Trump comes from lack of watching him and having left wing extremist bias..

I agree about Republicans. I don't see how they support Sanders, but I'm interested to hear the argument.
Regarding independents, it's too soon to say, because I think they will wait till the nominees are selected. Still, I agree that independents will probably not be supporting a socialist.

Do you think my target audience is you? I don't give a shit what you read...You stop reading but he's ahead 20% of the person in second place in almost every state...He hasn't even begun his advertising...You just sit tight and wait...In fact bookmark this thread so we can comeback to it in 2016.

So you think Trump will get the independent vote?

It's too early to tell. What i can tell is that he's most likely to get the nominee for the republican party...It's very evident that he's no joke at this point...

But you said he's doing "great with independents". Your words.
If you believe this, then he should get the independent vote right?
I actually think he's doing terribly with independents, but he does fit the mold of what the Republicans typically go for... Rich white guys.

I certainly plan to. For no other reason than to come back to laugh and mock you.

There will be more independents rolling in where that came from....
You sound really sure of this. You "know this".
Independents "love Trump".
Independents are "leaning towards the Republican party"
He is "doing great with the independents".
Yet when questioned by Tu if you think Trump will get the independent vote, you say :
It's too early to tell.
In the space of two posts your confidence certainly took and dive and you don't sound so sure of yourself in regards to Trump and the independents. Good job spoofy.

It's too early to tell if he'll win it overall. He is winning now and it looks like he'll win. You know as well as i do that that it's too early to determine this. There is no reason to set it in stone. If you remember at this point in the presidency when it ended up being Romney vs. Obama there wasn't much hope that Obama was going to win...It was only until he ramped up his campaign and people go to hear him that people started believing in his cause...

Anyone who wants to see proper trade agreements, for one. There's no other choice for them but Bernie.
Republicans used to be all about that.
So unless they've all turned into neocons, now... But maybe they have.
-
Wow, I really dislike Anderson Cooper. What a he-bitch this guy is.

lol they just don't want all the bullshit that comes with it...trump will be great with trade that's all he friggen talks about lol this what he DORD
-
I don't even want to hear Hillary. Seriously. Nothing but lies from her. What's the point?
She'll turn on everything just as fast as she says it anyway.
-
lol they just don't want all the bullshit that comes with it...trump will be great with trade that's all he friggen talks about lol this what he DORD
Exactly what's his aim with trade, then?
-
Hillary makes me sick. "Whole country needs to stand up against the NRA"
::) ::) ::) ::)
-
Lol, everyone piling on Bernie because he's not a bitch on guns.
-
Hillary is terribly dishonest.
-
Hillary continues to lie as the debate moves forward.

More lies from Hillary.

Bernie needs a better writer to work with him. Definitely for the initial questions he shoulda known were coming.
Webb and Chafee too unpolished and nervous acting, but Webb at least attempts to be forceful.
Hillary lying like a World Champion Liar going for another gold medal.
-
Yes, I'm sorry that Bernie isn't performing as well as I'd hoped.
He comes across as very honest, though, and that's great.

Looks to me like Bernie will probably will the nomination.
-
Hillary lies as frequently as she speaks. Quite amazing, really.
-
???
I love him. He started off very strong and forceful. But if he didn't see bitchboy's "capitalist" question coming, like last week, though, then I am very concerned.
Oh, God help us.. we're starting with the BLM bullshit, now ::)
-
He should have been prepared with a couple sentences or less, to turn a question like that around.
-
Lol, Hillary pretending she wanted to see bankers do time. Bernie calling her out.
-
Chafee calling Hillary on her pattern of destructive political activity.
In response, Hillary continues to lie.
-
I've tuned in. It looks like Hilary is winning...She is always ready to counterpunch into detail...She is also coming off as very confident..
-
On a scale of honesty, Bernie and Hillary polar opposites.
-
Mexicans slamming Bernie for not kissing their asses.
-
Bernie having to explain to angry Mexican that SLAVE LABOR = BAD.
-
Hillary continues to lie.
-
Talking about Patriot Act.
-
hilary's right - snowden DID break the law. he STOLE info and released it.
i do like sanders' position - the biggest liberal of them all - still wants to punish snowden for breaking the law!!

Oh really? You didn't seem to think so when you were boldly proclaiming :
You "know this".
Independents "love Trump".
Independents are "leaning towards the Republican party"
He is "doing great with the independents".
Now suddenly just an hour later, you don't sound so sure of yourself. Don't worry. Here are a few things to count on :
Trump is not going to get the nomination.
Republicans are not going to get the independents.
-
Trump is not going to get the nomination.
Republicans are not going to get the independents.
youre half-right ;)
Trump is an ass BUT much of the GOp base wants an ass. They lvoed palin, despite her being a rude, ill-informed hillbilly. They loved joe the plumber and paladino and the witch lady. The crazier, the more they like that. They don't want boring, they want interesting.

I like people that are overly confident like you. They're usually the first ones who defend their stance when they're incorrect and admit no wrong. Will be interested in hearing what excuses you'll have in due time.
-
Hillary claims to be an "outsider" because she's a woman.
Um, what?
-
Bernie says he doesn't have SuperPAC... says he gets donations from real people with everyday concerns.
-
Power-hungry Hillary pretends to be a normal, sane person.
-
I don't like the way Bernie makes his comparisons with other countries. He should change the way he does that.
-
Throwing the scraps. Talking bout marijuana.
-
Usual blah-blah on weed. Hillary using the opportunity to pretend she's responsible, by expressing concern. (the same woman who was guzzling straight booze last time around)
-
Wrapping it up. Hillary and Bernie the only forceful ones on stage. Rest very weak and scared of their own shadows.
-
Meant to say Bernie asserts himself strongly and he is a tough 70-something. Does not seem worn/dulled at all.

Jim Webb can beat the shit out of anyone though. He almost killed a biker with his bare hands once.
Fucking boss: The Navy Cross is presented to James H. Webb, Jr., First Lieutenant, U.S. Marine Corps, for extraordinary heroism while serving as a Platoon Commander with Company D, First Battalion, Fifth Marines, First Marine Division (Reinforced), Fleet Marine Force, in connection with combat operations against the enemy in the Republic of Vietnam. On July 10, 1969, while participating in a company-sized search and destroy operation deep in hostile territory, First Lieutenant Webb's platoon discovered a well-camouflaged bunker complex that appeared to be unoccupied. Deploying his men into defensive positions, First Lieutenant Webb was advancing to the first bunker when three enemy soldiers armed with hand grenades jumped out. Reacting instantly, he grabbed the closest man and, brandishing his .45 caliber pistol at the others, apprehended all three of the soldiers. Accompanied by one of his men, he then approached the second bunker and called for the enemy to surrender. When the hostile soldiers failed to answer him and threw a grenade that detonated dangerously close to him, First Lieutenant Webb detonated a claymore mine in the bunker aperture, accounting for two enemy casualties and disclosing the entrance to a tunnel. Despite the smoke and debris from the explosion and the possibility of enemy soldiers hiding in the tunnel, he then conducted a thorough search that yielded several items of equipment and numerous documents containing valuable intelligence data. Continuing the assault, he approached a third bunker and was preparing to fire into it when the enemy threw another grenade. Observing the grenade land dangerously close to his companion, First Lieutenant Webb simultaneously fired his weapon at the enemy, pushed the Marine away from the grenade, and shielded him from the explosion with his own body. Although sustaining painful fragmentation wounds from the explosion, he managed to throw a grenade into the aperture and completely destroy the remaining bunker. By his courage, aggressive leadership, and selfless devotion to duty, First Lieutenant Webb upheld the highest traditions of the Marine Corps and of the United States Naval Service.[23]

Hillary leaves us with a few of her favorite lies.

Here's a story about the time Virginia senator and Democratic presidential candidate Jim Webb almost killed a biker with his bare hands. It comes from Inside Reagan’s Navy, a book written by former U.S. ambassador to Qatar and onetime Pentagon official Chase Untermeyer, which was unearthed by the Daily Beast:
“I had him by the hair and was beating his head on the sidewalk when he suddenly went limp on me,” Webb recounted. “Then it came to me: I had killed the fucking son of a bitch, and I would be put on report back at the Academy! So I revived him—whereupon he came to and kicked me in the head about ten times till I was able to grab his leg... Moral: Show no mercy in a fight.”

Yes, I was familiar with both of those stories. He is tough stuff. But he didn't seem too comfortable tonight, unfortunately.
I would be very happy with him, though, from what I know.

Over confident? Would saying things like :

Independents "love Trump".
Independents are "leaning towards the Republican party"
He is "doing great with the independents".
Sound a bit over confident?
Don't worry, I'll be here to remind you of these bragging claims on down the road. "Will be 'interested' in hearing what excuses you'll have in due time".

I admire webb's heroics, BUT he was bragging about killing a man with a grenade tonight...
ugh, the best heroes are the ones who don't try to brag about the killing they've done in order to appear strong. mccain was a proud vet, never felt the need to brag about who he killed in war. Bush1 also. The minute he mumbled something about "You can ask the guy who threw a grenade at me, but he's not around anymore..." i lost a lot of respect for webb.

Loved Bernie's comments on the P.A.

I just think it's funny how the dems propose to make public colleges free yet complain about the 1%...This means the people are the richest's kids won't have to pay for any colleges lol...They act like the rich finding loopholes to avoid taxes is any worse than lower-middle class people lying about their income when they file their taxes and have their kids apply to colleges to accommodate themselves...By doing this we'd be losing one of the only places where this country is bringing in any money from and not losing money from at the same time and it's on a continuous upward spiral...College tuition...There should be prestige....You don't see what Bernie is doing???? Making it so college degrees are less important...That they're less valuable...
-
i think carson lied about the Popeyes robbery. The baltimore PD has no record of this. This must be a magical robbery where the clerk doesn't call it in? come on.
he probably had someone talk tough to him once, and he embellished the story.

Does the 1% go to public universities?
Pretty sure the 1% are going to better schools.
-
Why is there no tuition for public schools, k-12 but tuition for public universities? ???
My thoughts: the stupid things at Universities such as large football stadiums, fast food places and the general carnival atmosphere of colleges and universities in America (cost of maintaining all of that bullshit) combined with the high salaries of worthless professors.

Carson claimed to be a vegan at the time. He had a lapse and was seeking something in Popeye's that he shouldn't have been. The robber - obviously - was a sign from God that Carson needed to be strong, leave the store and continue consuming grains and veggies.

so many inconsistencies with Carson. Vegan BUT happened to be in a fast food chicken place. Heroic BUT happened to sit this one out. Knows brain evolution of human BUT believes 6000 years ago, there was no planet here.
It just gets old with him. So flexible to just add a convenient story to make him fit into every possible news cycle.
Am I the only one that believes Carson just makes up stories on a weekly basis to appear relevant and experienced?

No. Evidence proves this hunch is most likely correct.

LOL why aren't people more upset by it? Do they just figure he's going to self-destruct anyway?
I remember at the end of the Cain debacle, there were more women every day, most sexting proof, after a while, he became a non-issue as people just waited for recent polls to show him plummeting.
