Tell you what. You show me his plan for raising the money to pay for all our current debt ($20 trillion), plus all our unfunded liabilities for SS and Medicare (at least another $40 trillion), plus pay for all the other freebies he's promising, and it's a realistic plan that will (1) raise that much $$, and (2) not bring our economy to its knees, and I will donate a day's pay to his campaign, and put his sign on my lawn.

Let me say this about Bernie...while i don't agree with him on anything, here are 2 things I respect about him. First, when you ask him a direct question about his platform, you get a direct answer. He knows that many will hate his answer, but that doesn't stop him from answering directly. No one else, on either side, does that. Second, he has run a campaign that is centered on speaking about his ideas. Unlike Hilary, he doesn't spend every waking moment telling everyone why republicans are worse than the Nazis. He just concentrates on his ideas, he doesn't constsntly bash everyone else (maybe a little on the economy, but not too bad).

We could all follow his lead. Tell us your ideas, and why they are the right ideas. If you have fact-based criticisms of your opponent, that's fair, but I don't want to hear one syllable about the size of the other guy's wee-wee.
