Not vote for Bernie in the fall if he wins the nomination? Who in this board are saying that?But people saying they are not going to vote for Bernie means you don't mind Trump.
It's not the taxes that I hear people complaining about, it's promises for free stuff without any idea how much it will cost or how it will be paid for.You have people complaining about Bernie taxes when they not even making over 60,000 a year.. hell some not even 40,000. Ask them about Bernie tax plan and they are clueless. People bitching about Health care for all, but could not get insurance before ACC. Some don't even have health care still. good luck with that.
Bernie has not laid out how he will pay for his health care plan. The Congressional Office of Management and Budget came out with a report that covered the subject but couldn't come up with a price tag for Bernie's plan. It's all just smoke and mirrors from a Senator who hasn't done anything of note in his time as one, 12+ years. Not only that but his one clear statement is that everybody who has a healthcare plan and likes it will have it stripped from them. That's a huge number. More than a hundred million people. In a close election, those people matter.
He doesn't work well with others, rides on working law makers' coat tails by claiming some sort of prize when he votes for them, if he shows up to vote at all, which happens 40% of the time. He has a history of turning on Democrats when convenient. What makes you think he can get any of his promises passed through a divided congress, even if Democrats by some miracle win a majority in the senate?
For those reasons, I can't support him during this primary. Beyond that, just look at his recent results in primaries. He's getting dismal results. 25% in Iowa, 26% in NH and 46% in Nevada. He can't even pull a majority of votes from Democrats. What makes you think he can draw votes from more centrist or moderate conservatives in order to win in a close election? What makes you think Bernie can win in the fall?
You claim to stick to facts. What in my statement can you say is untrue?
