Bernie Sanders 2020

I shudder to think what a Bernie presidency would look like. It would be full of marginally qualified people who can only work with people of a certain political purity.

So, a lot like Trump, but different.
That's what happens when one selects their leader according what they say and not what they do. It will all be blamed on counterrevolutionary traitors. Authoritarian leaders do this.

NH is a border state of Vermont. He has to win there or he has no chances.

How many NH delegates again? Something like 1% of the total to be cast?

Still, Bernie has a good chance of winning -- about even odds -- and I'll vote for him in the fall if the majority of the Democratic party chooses him in this primary. Leagues better than Trump.

I'm still looking for your financial analysis to explain how broke and indebted students are pushing rent for one-bedroom apts above $1500/mo in Santa Cruz. Do homeless students sleeping in their cars in the woods really push rent up? How does that work?

I can't wait for Super Tuesday to be over so we can dispense with all the cat fishing Bernie supporters and get to Trump trolling for real.

I'm glad to hear that you will support Bernie if he gets the nomination. I believe the other part of your post is subject for debate in a different thread, and we've had that discussion already. But to your point, I only said that is a part of the problem, not the only contributor. Pretty much all analysts agree with my assessment. It's not an easy issue to solve, but UCSC simply needs to build more on-campus housing to reverse their negative impact on the local community. No need to derail this thread and sew your own division here.

I'm just pointing out that every post of yours is all about dividing people. Not to mention ignorant.

I got my ballot today. I chose to vote in the Democratic Primary.

Now I will make my choices -- at my leisure over the next couple weeks -- and then put it out for the mailman. I've been voting by mail for 25 years, and I think everyone should do it this way.

Luckily I live in white suburbia so it only takes me about 5 minutes to vote at the local elementary school. I think we are about to get that option in Michigan though, I am looking forward to it. We need to make voting far easier and more complete, it's been a long road to just get to where the land owners votes outweigh the actual citizens votes. Oh wait...

so it’s good if he goes from 60% in 2016 to 25-30% in 2020?
Huh? Exactly 4 years ago today he had 36.4% support in the polls vs Hillary's 49.8% support, and that was when it was only between him and her. Today he's at 23.7% support against 11 other candidates who are splitting up the pie. Yeah, I think he's doing ok.
