Watched the Bernie Sanders Fox News town hall in Bethlehem, Pa., on Monday evening.

Very good night from Bernie Sanders...

Performed way better than I had expected...

Apart from his age, there was lots of positives from him last night...

His responses were solid from Taxes to Immigration including Healthcare...

Even the Fox News Town Hall audience mostly Republicans acknowledged support for his Single Payer Health Care System...

Wonder when Donald J Trump will release his last 10 years tax return plus have either an MSNBC Town Hall OR CNN Town Hall...

That would definitely help his ratings among Democrats & Independents which is currently in the low 40's...

I wonder if Sanders stands a chance. He seems like the most solid of Dem contenders. Def one to watch.

That being said, like most liberals, they lack even the simplest understanding of basic economics as evidenced by the fact that they liked Bernies "economic policy". Bernies economic policy has no basis in reality and would utterly destroy this country. Just look at his plan for "free" healthcare. It would cost trillions upon trillions of dollars and would require Doctors to take pay cuts of over 50%. This alone highlights how delusional Bernie is.

Also, it really seems that these people think that every business in the country is some mega-corporation that pays minimum wage and doesn't pay taxes. This is obviously not the case as ~95% of companies are small businesses. The majority of the US workforce is employed by small businesses. 2 out of every 3 new jobs are created by small businesses. Many of these small business owners do well for themselves while paying their employees well.

Bernie has scammed these gullible people into thinking that no wealthy people pay "their fair share" when the opposite is true. A huge portion of wealthy individuals have far too much of their income stolen by the government. Demanding that the "evil" 1% should be required to foot the bill for everyone else is ridiculous and tyrannical. There would be no better way to destroy the economy than to rape and pillage businesses and individuals that do well. It is simply jealousy and forced governmental theft. You don't raise others up by facefucking and robbing from others.

Lastly, they claim Bernie is not a hypocrite as he wants to raise taxes on all wealthy people including himself. This is hilarious. If Bernie truly believed his own bullshit, he would happily be sending the IRS 70% of his income as they have no problem with people wanting to pay more than they legally owe. If he didn't go the IRS route to practice what he preaches, he could donate 70% of his income to various charities and foundations. Instead, like the hypocrite and scammer he is, he has chosen to keep that income and purchase multiple homes and luxury goods only the rich can afford. He is the antithesis of everything he claims to strand for.

Unfortunately, he has managed to convince his economically illiterate supporters to back and donate money to him again which only further strengthens the fact that they have no understanding of how and why wealth is created. They simply love the idea of being given free stuff they don't deserve while not understanding that that stuff isn't actually free.

This is obvious to the blindest of bats. Do you know he abstained from voting on AOC's Green New Deal bill even though he's been publicly supporting it? grin grin grin

Many of Bernie's 2016 supporters have left him after realising he's a major fraud. He's only in this race for the money. He's a hustler taking advantage of idiots who want free stuff.

But 20% of the pentagon budget can pay the tuition and fees for all students in public colleges/universities. That tells you that tuition-free college education and Medicare for all, won’t cost trillions of $$

Nobody is going the slash that budget 20% and give it away for free tuition. Making a promise like that is stupid. Congress/Senate pass the bills and send then to 1600 Penn, not the vice versa. If you want free tuition start with your "state" legislatures, same with free heath insurance. Do it all the state level and see how it works. Also state universities discriminate against their own residents, preferring out of state tuition and foreign tuition which costs much more that than in state tuition.

There are too many people in universities majoring in stupid crap that leads to no job opportunities, tax payers should not support that.

The bans usually last 24hours but it's really silly getting banned for responding to someone who has addressed you. But whatevs. I ain't getting paid to post so it's all good.

I beg to differ. The bigger frivolouses should be cut immediately then we can bother about the crumbs, is what I think is more prudent. And I don't really think bomb making is crucial. If a UK government spent that much on them that government won't be our government for much longer.

Your education is an investment into your future and as with every investment, you put something into it

When you start making millions from your investment, you keep the bulk of your money

While some people are taking loans to study Medicine, Law, Engineering, Finance and Science, Some are taking these loans to study Tree climbing, How to watch Television, Angry white Male Studies, Surfing Science, Pop culture, Comedy and Professional Nannying. And you expect them to do this for free?

You're right. The biggest leaks should be plugged and the smaller, less dangerous ones tended to after. Then, consider how much more important defense is colored to other items on the appropriations list.

The challenge is the government of the day having the will and courage to incisive audits and budget adjustments where required. In the US, though, the Military Industrial Complex is a ruthless beast. I'm not sure Trump can successfully take them on at the point in time, or if he even has any such intentions.

William Barr's Press Conference: Some Major Points of Note:
1) AG, William Barr acknowledged that there was an official attempt by Russia to propagandise by sowing seeds of discord among Americans before the 2016 US election, but that there was no co-ordination or collusion with any American nor with the Trump Campaign.
2) He acknowledged that despite Russia's hacking of the DNC sever or that of Hillary, there was no Coordination between Russia and the Trump Campaign.
3) Barr noted that Special Counsel, Robert Mueller, had also investigated to see whether certain actions of the President constituted or qualified for the crime of Obstruction of Justice. He declared from Mueller's conclusion that the President in no way hindered nor Obstructed justice, neither did the President exercise Or asserted his Executive privilege to hinder the investigation. The President and his Staff cooperated fully through out the Investigation period.
4) The Special Counsel was given unlimited access and resources to aid his investigation, and was in no way impeded nor obstructed.

**From some of the points noted above, my only issue is with the DNC's claim of their Server being hacked by Russia. We know that the said server was not inspected or checked by the FBI to verify this claim, but I digress.

The bottom line is IT'S GAME OVER. Mueller time is Over!! Of course the Dems, Libtards and the Fake Media are gonna cry on grin grin
