Mathematically, yes, realistically, no. He’s running in the hope of that outside chance, I guess.

If Sanders could garner a lot of delegates in the remaining states, he would have a case to present to the super delegates that they should leave Hillary’s camp and join his because he is more electable. He probably will garner quite a few votes, but Hillary will probably wrap things up before the convention, then the super delegates will not abandon her.

Well, forgive me for saying this but I am not particularly enthused about Hillary Clinton. I see no upside to voting for her. I don’t really think any of her policies will change a thing in this country.

If you’ll pardon me, I don’t want to be forced to pay for that helping. I’m not ever going to be in Sanders’ 90% tax bracket, but neither do I believe he would limit himself to taxing the truly rich. That’s not where the money is. The big money is in the middle class because of the numbers and because it’s very difficult for us to legally avoid paying on 100% of our resource gains.

Seems to me we have plenty enough socialism right now. What we really need are jobs, but the harassment of the middle class, particularly of small business that create most of the jobs, stifles job creation.

I don’t think some people understand marginal tax rates. Even if the marginal tax rate was 90%, it does not mean someone making $400,000 would pay 90% of it or $360,000 in tax. It goes in steps and levels. The 90% would only apply to an upper portion or amount of income. Not the entire income. And as you indicated many wouldn’t even reach such a portion level.

Even with a win? Wow! That is glum for Bernie. I saw him on the news when he returned to Vermont after the New York primary, and he did not look at all happy. I was sort of surprised to see him in Pennsylvania the next day.

My indication is Bernie might just simply want his supporters who haven’t gone to the polls yet to see him raising his/their issues while they still have the opportunity to vote for him and their causes.

I don’t think the policies of any of them will change anything, Nothing ever changes in the US.

Thank you, Sy. 👍 And good for Bernie!
 
I like the idea of filling the hungry with good things and turning the Rich empty away…now who was it said that ?

That’s a pretty cynical view, don’t you think?

I used to think so, but now I think it’s just realistic. I’m trying to think of big changes we’ve had, and I can only come up with two: the end of slavery and the legalization of abortion. Some might add the ACA, and I guess mandatory health insurance is pretty big. The US citizens are a pretty apathetic bunch, most of whom would rather struggle through than put pressure on politicians, and politicians seem consumed by greed and unwilling to work with those of the other party. I do believe in Sanders’ sincerity, but I don’t believe he could implement all he wants to do. So the country just slogs along, and so do we.
 
Yes - the United States is going through 7+ years of dysthymia because of toughing it out.
Those who have lived most of their lives in other countries may not have the hope and appreciation for repairing the damage. Having to fight against the enemy within, that is hell bent in destroying life at both ends, is exhausting. Every scent of reducing and ridding these evil promoters/providers and their financial industry is a breath of fresh air.

Reading the stats on New Zealand for example, it claims a population of 4+ million.
Another person is born every 7 minutes. Wow - they must not have legalized abortion or allow factories of infant body parts. Their population would be almost gone!

A New Zealand poster had lots of criticism of the USA and the arguments put forth in our political process. It was offensive they said and not understood. Well, guess its that old Constitution again. Gotta love it, gotta defend it, its the American way!
 
Amen, brother. I can’t believe the ‘summer of Trump’ was already last summer and has stretched all the way until now. Something must be done, if only for the sake of the children.
 
“in certain cases” - guess that is the vague - don’t look too close at this reason for killing a baby".

The issue of “factories of body parts” is usually in horror films, featuring zombies and
those profiting from the sale of butchering babes. Planned Parenthood is the biggest commercial organization receiving tax funding exploiting women before and after they become pregnant.

It would be just fine if PP was found on shaky ground and the earth opened up to remove them from their evil enterprise.
