True. And to be clear I don't like those committing serious criminal offenses being let out to do more harm when they are the very ones who should be deported. That said, we shouldn't be going after otherwise law abiding parents dropping their kids off at school and American born citizens should not end up in line for deportation or worse.
I am not talking about issues that divide democrats - I am talking about issues that divide American swing voters.
I'm hoping sanders is not the nominee, but i won't hesitate to vote for him if he is. i'm sure there are lots of folks in the same group, but have no idea how many that is
If the economy is really doing so good, why do we need a trillion dollar yearly deficit to support it. Unfortunately the average voter doesn't understand this and their eyes glaze over if anyone tries to explain it. The dems need to find a simple way to explain this to take the 'good economy' issue away from the orange liar-in-cheif
Again, this is an argument that won't swing a single vote. Both parties support huge deficits - just directed differently.
Yes but at least Obama had the deficit heading in the right direction before Trump took over. If we simply throw up our hands and give up on deficits and climate change, we are all screwed.
I don't disagree, especially about climate change. Climate change is an issue that will get people to the polls.
I’m in this boat. I just think Trump would paint Sanders as a Trotskyist and would destroy him on economic policy debates. The problem is that many would bite it and take it to the ballot box.
I agree with this. I think it would be McGovern and Muskie all over again and Trump would not be slow to claim his "mandate"...
I've said it before, but people will vote for a radical candidate like Sanders only out of desperation. If we were in the middle of a recession, he'd have a chance, but not during a ten-year old economic boom. There are underlying problems with the economy which aren't being addressed, but, as you've said yourself, when they're drawing a paycheck and their neighbor is also, they're not going to concern themselves with anything further...
Can't disagree.
Thing is, if you aren't 80 or a fan of old westerns, you would have no idea what he said there.
He's the most established candidate, but it appears (from the early caucuses) that he's not the people's choice. I think that, for now, he's the 'frontrunner' and until that changes, the focus won't change.
I expect him to come behind Pete and maybe even Klob tomorrow. Sanders probably wins NH while the moderate vote is split between these three.
