      Larry and Bernie are basically interchangeable! And coincidently very similar political beliefs. That SNL short last week - "Bern Your Enthusiasm" was classic!

        The system is ridiculous! That's why Dem or Rep, you have to give Bernie and Trump props for how they are funding their campaigns. At least they can be respected for that.

          Hillary has almost 400 delegates, owing to the superdelegate process, while Sanders just has 44 - even after a tie and his win in NH. If Sanders gets the shirt beaten off him in the Southern states, which I think he will, Clinton will lock the DNC nomination up.

                  Those super delegate votes can change, plus they have not been cast yet. Not until the DNC. Are you Trump clowns afraid of Bernie. LOL

It was an upward path.
                                  Yet today, even though as a country we are much more wealthy, even though we have knowledge and technology far exceeding what we used to have and, even though our workers produce far more per person than ever before, we are told that we can no longer do the great things we used to do. We are told our government can only take from the middle class, that we can no longer afford the things we want and need as a country and that the American middle class has to work harder for less.
                                  Now, as our top tax rate is historically quite low (and at 14% Mitt didn't even pay half that much), our country continues to sacrifice and become more indebted for the Reagan/Bush/Bush/Romney/Trump/Ryan Republican party’s one goal: more and more and more tax breaks for the rich. It’s a downward path.
                                  We need to do what is right for this country not just what is good for the top one-tenth of 1%.
                                  Tax the Trump Class, pay down the debt, invest in our country and our people.
                                  That is how to really make America greater.
                                  Please Vote for Bernie and Vote to change your Congressman too.

                                  We're more regulated now than ever before, and if we went back to policies we had under previous democrat presidents, including FDR, the left would be rioting in the streets. You want to tax the rich more, when we've already got the most progressive tax code in the developed world. The fact is that when we had no income or capital gains taxes and the government spent only 3% of the national income, we were known around the world as the Land of Opportunity, had tens-of-millions of people willingly move here, and had the highest standard of living for the average person up to that point in human history.

                                            When is a win not a win but a tie?
                                            Bernie wins NH by 20 points, receives 15 delegates, Hilary receives 9 delegates in the crushing defeat.
                                            However, Hil came into the primary with six pledged super delegates.

                                            Bernie doesn't have a snowballs chance in hell of winning the nomination, he doesn't have the super delegates needed to get to 2200 for nomination.

                                                Look up the name of that economist in the article you cited and the economist who wrote Sanders' plan and see if you notice anything.

                                                  The top 1 percent (those with incomes in excess of 615,000 dollars) pay 46 percent of individual income taxes. The top 20 percent (those with incomes over 134,000 dollars) account for 84 percent of taxes.

                                                  I don't think Bernie understands this.

                                                    The top 1% is less than 400k, and I doubt Bernie or most of his supporters care, they just want free stuff.

                                                            No, it's over 600k now, but that really doesn't matter, they are the private sector that supplies the resources the Bernie yahoo's demand

                                                                  if bernie wins the actual delegate race, he'll win the nomination.

They know Hillary is all about advancing the kingdom. No superdelegates in the Republican Party, they dont have to worry about the neocons bucking the system.
