Biden surges ahead of Hilary in latest New Hampshire poll

Joe Biden? Calling Joe Biden?


http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2015.../?intcmp=hpbt1

Meanwhile, the state whose motto is "live free or die" twice elected Weird Harold, and now they want to nominate an admitted socialist. Interesting times we live in.

Jim. You do realize that many aspects of our government are based on socialism right?

Do you have home insurance? Car insurance? Health insurance?
All things about Bernie aside from the socialistic views which I know drive conservatives mad, point to a person who is looking out for people like you and me. One of his key talking points is that the congress is totally corrupt and only works in the interests of giant corporations who have lobbyists. Normal people's issues are just about ignored. Furthermore his talking points have stayed exactly the same since day one of his entry into public office.
Do you want more wars in the name of who's God is better or do you want peace and a more empowered middle class ?

I have a busy day today so I can't respond to why you think this guy is Chairman Mao, but I urge you to not get your info about him from Fox News and maybe read a little about him from a non biased source(if there is one anymore)

Yes, I realize some socialism is present even in my vision of how the government should run.

Bernie Sanders would take that a lot farther, which is why he proudly identifies as a socialist.

He's a rumpled old pervert (famously wrote that women fantasize about being gang raped) with totalitarian inclinations.

"One of his key talking points is that the congress is totally corrupt and only works in the interests of giant corporations"

Yes, that is a common liberal talking point. Yet all of Sanders' top donors, are labor unions. So why is it wrong for Hilary to take huge $$ from Citibank, but it's swell for Bernie to take similar $$ from labor unions? You telling me that if Bernie gets elected, that's not going to be a huge windfall for the unions? He is beholden to the unions just as Hilary would be beholden to Citigroup.

We don't wage wars for that reason. Our enemies do. When that happens, we have a duty to fight back, don't we?

"a more empowered middle class "

Oh, is that what we have in states where labor unions call the shots? Like Michigan, CT, IL, RI, Mass? Thos eplaces have thriving middle class?

What I want, is someone who won't keep proposing the same tired solutions which we know don't work.

Amen. That is why Trump is doing so well. People are tired of the same old same old. We need a candidate who is a true American Patriot, one who is out for America and adhering to the Constituion not the same old busted valese's that Sanders and Hillary are.

Do you Really want Trump sitting with leaders of other countries discussing international affairs and Foreign Policy? That right there scares the #^&#^&#^&#^& outta me. The guy has absolutely no filter......he'll have us launched into WW3 before his Inauguration

Trump isn't going anywhere. I have a better chance of getting elected King Of Siam. If he is polling at 25%, that means that 75% of Republican voters want someone else. He's only in first because there are 85 other candidates dividing up the "other than Trump" vote. As the others drop out, most of their support will go to another non-Trump candidate.

I have to say, Dr Ben Carson impresses me every single time I hear him speak. To me, he reeks of dignity, class, grace, wisdom, and depth. He is the polar opposite of Trump. But he likely won't last long either. Too bad. He gave a great interview on CBS yesterday.

No, that's a great place to get Bernie's spin on where he stands on the issues.

For example, Bernie Sanders wants the minimumn wage to be $15/hr. You know what he pays his entry level campaign staff? $12/hr. Again, it's evil when someone on Wall Street pays what the market says a job is worth, but it's OK when Bernie Sanders does it.

We are on a path to bankruptcy, all he'll do is push down harder on the accellerator.

Whoa,please re-read the post " CANIDATE" I didn't say the candidate should be Trump. I've never been a fan of Trump and probably wouldn't vote for him but he's telling it like it is.
You completely mis understood.

Sorry, I misunderstood. So anyone could be a "true American Patriot"? Does that exclude Sanders and Hillary?

Now your putting words in my mouth.
I don't know that much about Sanders and won't until I see the Democratic debates. I will say from what I know about Hillary, imho ,she is nothing more then a self serving politician.
