I think he’s the only one who’s got a shot at defeating trump. Dems need a real zealot to even put up a fight. He’s just too radical though. I don’t see him getting the win.

This is what it’s come to. If it’s Bernie, I kind of like him - more so than the other candidates at least. Extremes in both directions. This is quite an experiment. I’m voting, but am certain California will go dem.

The difference between Bernie and every other Democratic candidate is that like Trump, he has an army of supporters.

Trump is not so much a piñata as he is a clogged sink. He’s like a stubborn hair clog that is impervious to plungers, roto rooters, and Drano. We plumbers will keep trying though, trying to drain the swamp, the sh!t keeps getting thicker though.

Reagan was 78 by the time he *finished* his 2-terms. If Trump wins the 2020 and survives his 2nd term he'll be 78 by the time he leaves office.

Biden will turn 78 a couple weeks after the election. Bernie will be 79 later this year, before the election even occurs.

What's amazing are the ages of Trump, Sanders, Warren and Biden. We should start a dead pool to bet on who is going to die first.
Warren doesn't belong in that death pool; she'll outlive all three of them easily.

ifallalot kind of indicated he might be willing to bet me Orange Julius outlives Speaker Skeletor, but I think the Granny of Greyskull is Big Pimpin' on B-L-A-DEEEEZ

He didn't really chime back in on the stakes so we could firm it up and I could begin counting down the days until myself and Skeletor own his soul when he's in mourning for Blompf.

The age thing is pretty amazing when we think about it. Age at the beginning of their terms:

53 - Carter
65 - GHWBush
47 - Clinton
55 - GWBush
48 - Obama
71 - Trump

So is he still talking about a 97 trillion dollar budget?

Yeah why not.

Put it on the the card.

Probably dropping in on you, California
if you take away medicare for all which we all know is never going to happen (dont even know why they ask about it), what else makes him so radical?

remmeber no one thought trump was going to win because the media spun it that way until the very last second.

the media is dicking around with Bernie in the same regard - maybe he's doing alot better than we know?

either way - hes the only one thats going to get me to actually vote.
