We may never make it. Trump has given Putin what he wanted, an excuse to go big on nukes! A chance to be the most powerful leader in the world. We need what Bernie is after, but, we have bigger problems than paying for that. We need a leader that works WITH, and FOR the rest of the world. We are back on a precipice and we need a leader with stamina, as well as common sense. Bernie's a good man but not for NOW.

If his political philosophy only benefits some of the United States, and not the entirety of the country, then his philosophies will only hamper the country, and the United States citizens deserve better than what he can philosophically offer.
The same thing with Joe Biden, Beto O'Rourke, Cory Booker, Kamala Harris, and so on.
The country deserves better, than to have some of the political representatives, who are Democrats, or Democratic Socialists trying to manipulate, persuade, coax, or influence, some of the voting public with their individual political philosophies that benefit their individual fan bases, instead of the country as a whole.
Some of them can try to pander to some of the public with their "Privilege Rhetoric" talking points in front a news anchors news camera, as they may choose to?
(The above action, made the individual look sad, and desperate, while being interviewed.)
While at the same time, this individual pulled in 6 million plus dollars in campaign donations?
Apparently pandering to the public, is a nifty way to get campaign funds out of the pockets of a newly developing fan base, by downplaying their individual privilege rhetoric talking points?
So while I don't support Bernie Sanders for POTUS, I'll support the individual candidate, who will benefit the country the most as much as possible.
Pro Border barrier, and pro security, (pro family, meaning they are pro security for the US citizens, and they don't have any issues over the Border barrier being built where it be physically constructed?)

Instead of taking the easy road, and hounding Trump and the Republicans, how about some talking points that benefit the country as a whole, instead of what your individual talking points are compromised of?
The border is 2000 plus miles wide, and there are roughly only 600 plus miles of a border barrier that have been built so far.
The border barrier should have been built, a long time ago, and on some of the other Presidents watches, like Clinton, Bush, and Obama.

Where is your individual evidence to support this statement from you, other than your individual opinion?
"Trump has given Putin what he wanted, an excuse to go big on nukes!"
What legitimate evidence do you have?
And what did Bill Clinton do that was so grand? NAFTA?
"For the next decade we need someone "like" Bill Clinton to balance the budget and get our friends back! Get the world working together."
The former POTUS, was impeached.
So I'm wondering how your individual talking points in regards to Clinton are supposed to have any sort of legs at all, when he basically swept his own political legs from underneath of himself, tackling his own Presidency with his impeachment?

Sharing your individual opinions with the rest of this forum:
Courtesy of AIorRI:
"I believe in the idea of amnesty for those who have put down roots and lived here, even though some time back they may have entered illegally."
Ronald Reagan 10/28/1984
"There were far more coming across the border then, and a smaller percentage of women and children. Today's "invasion" is a farce, a piece of propaganda that has been repeated over and over until it has become "fact" … if one believes it … at Hermann Goering said it would. Reagan ALSO completely supported the Brady Bill on gun control. He wouldn't, likely, give much support to this Party of Trump.
The GOP no longer exists. In it's place is the POT … with a LOT of bad stuff in it."
Go ahead, and use a former POTUS to platform your individual political ideology with?
Two points:
One; You can't say that Reagan would have done anything, because your opinion says so, how do you know if he wouldn't give support to Trump?
Did you interview Reagan to get that thought from him?
Second: "The GOP no longer exists. It's in it's POT, with a lot of bad stuff in it."
Where did you get this unofficial sound bite from?
From one of the various news media outlet sources?
Or maybe you created it, from the depths of your individual opinion?

Hasn't that in a sense, what has been happening, with the various sanctuary cities?
How do they go about giving those millions of illegal aliens, or immigrants sanctuary, in the face of the Federal laws, for how many years now?
How does a political representative go about doing the above, without sacrificing some of the laws of the United States by doing just that, or by sacrificing the safety of the millions of lawful US citizens, who are living in the same cities, where those illegal aliens, or immigrants are getting sanctuary in?
Freedom should be viewed as standard of life, and should be treated with a fair and equal treatment by all of the citizens of the US, and if the some of the Democrats, or some of the Democratic Socialists have a problem with that, then leave the United States alone, and maybe migrate to another country where the socialistic ideals of that said country, will welcome those Democratic, and Democratic Socialists followers with their open arms, to embrace you, as you wished the United States to do unfairly, and unequally, at your behest, to change for your Democratic, and Democratic Socialist follower selves?
The US deserves better, and Socialism isn't the answer, along with the apparent mutual pandering game, that appears to be being played between some of the Democratic Socialist political representatives, and their Socialists followers, or fanbase?

Personally my vote has been won over by Pete Buttigieg until another candidate can prove more attractive (unlikely) or he is eliminated from the race (very likely).
Pete is a very smart person, he answers questions with yes or no, something many politicians are deathly afraid of doing. He offers concrete descriptions to what his goals are including details and statistics. You almost never see that in politics.
For example he wants to expand the supreme Court to 15, with 10 judges being nominated by presidents with the last 5 only getting appointed via unanimous confirmation of the other 10 judges. I love this idea, I think it would become very unlikely that the court could ever be politicized to the left or right, save for one party getting all 10 of the presidential nominations. Currently one party getting 5 nominations can potentially swing the court, this makes a president swinging the court far more unlikely. If this happened under his administration and he got a liberal judge in the court would then be 5-5 if Kennedy returned to his more conservative views and gave up the swing vote, rendering the votes of the 5 justices appointed unanimously to be more important than any presidentially appointed Justice. Yes this would be to pull the court away from it's current right leanings but we already know the right doesn't want the court to be left leaning via the invocation of the Biden rule under Obama followed by the nuclear option under Trump. I see this as a neutral middle ground.
However my views are biased towards Pete as he is 37 and LGBT, we have far more in common than I do with any other candidate. He has more executive governing experience than Pence and more military experience than any president since H.W. however since the most people he has ever governed is the city of South Bend, combined with his age, I see him as the underdog for the nomination. On a positive note at least good inclusion in the debates will put pressure on other candidates to actually flush out their plans and to give direct answers to questions. The one non-clear answer he gives is his position on the political spectrum. The majority of people in South Bend voted for Obama, him, Trump, and Pence as governor. He doesn't believe the old left right center spectrum developed in post revolutionary France is adequate to describe people's views in the modern world anymore, which this again I agree with him on and see more of a top to bottom spectrum via wealth and social status as more accurate but that is another can of worms that can't really be discussed here.
So no I don't support Burnie.

Darn... Never heard of Buttigieg... Ok, I'm Canadian but still, how come I had to hear about him, here of all places?? He should really work on his social-media skills. But I really like the idea (judge nomination process), it tackles the pernicious partisanship that plagues the system. Just for that, it would be welcome...
Looks like I've got some searching & reading to do... thx!

I'm ready for the political torch to finally be passed down to a younger generation, and I'm cool with 37 years old being the new bearer. I highly recommend watching his CNN town hall from a couple weeks ago to see just how articulate he is. He also did a segment on Fox news but I have yet to see it.

"d) Obama's 8 year presidency was impressively scandal free. No Iran / Contra. No losing thousands to an attack from Saudi terrorists, and then invading and occupying Iraq in reaction. "No drama Obama". The opposite of Trump's style. Bush said -wanted dead or alive-, and came up empty. Obama kept his mouth shut, waxed UBL, and dropped the remains in the ocean. We've had worse presidents than Obama. Matter of fact, we've got one right now!"
Former President Obama, just like the former President's Reagan, both of the Bush's, and Clinton all failed when it came to the illegal aliens, or immigrants issue that the country has been dealing with, during all of their terms in Office.
The current POTUS, steps up to the plate, with countless US citizens, via the internet, artificially in his face trying to talk him down to their individual opinionated level?
That's sad.
Maybe some of the previous Presidents to various degree's, during their individual speech giving moments, pandered to the pro illegal alien crowd bases, just to get those individuals out of their faces as well, and they didn't want to deal with the guff that Trump is getting?
With Trump being the POTUS, the country as a whole, is getting an education in how some of the political representatives, go about pandering, and catering to certain crowds, that are platforming themselves with the very (Words) that some of the political representatives say before a news media outlet news camera?
As I said before, some of the political representatives, playing the "Pandering Game," back and forth, with their pandering followers, constituents?
Isn't it sad and desperate, how this game looks, before the rest of the United States, viewing public?

We already can do barely anything in this economy. There are bureaucratic walls everywhere. Whenever you try to do something even slightly non-mainstream, you feel like you have just gotten into a thorn bush, and the more you struggle, the more hopeless your situation becomes.
If we start inviting open socialists into the White House, then it will not just be a thorn bush everywhere. It will be a thorn bush everywhere coupled with the quicksand underneath. We will become like third world bloated economies where one needs to get 376423843 permits to take one breath legally.
This used to be the country proud of the freedoms its citizens had. Proud of the fact that anyone could just open up a shop, or build a farm in the middle of nowhere, or collect some mushrooms and then sell them at the central plaza - without any king or lord that could stop them. How much has changed...

True, the "Far-West" was settled completely, that's what happened and changed things... True "freedom" like you seem to depict it, at least according to my understanding, is something usually found at the "Frontier" and I fear we've reached a point where we really need to tackle the next "Frontier", Space... I think we'll see the same levels of individual freedom when massive migration in space finally starts... Until then, limited living space, limited resources and growing populations will inevitably lead to increased limitations to individual liberties...

The population density in the US is still very low compared to many other places. Hong-Kong has some of the highest population densities in the world, yet there to open a business you only need to submit an application and go to the governmental office next day to pick up the permit - and afterwards you can produce or sell almost anything you could possibly want with no issues. While here, we have far more restrictions even in the wilderness somewhere in Iowa.
The only problem with places like Hong-Kong is lack of the available free land. But we definitely do not have that problem in the US, and any interstate trip on a highway takes place majorly in uninhabited areas. We have entire states such as Wyoming or Alaska that are barely populated at all.
The problem is not how the world has changed, but how the mentality has changed. It is easy to scare a population into accepting countless limitations for the sake of safety. It is much harder to revert the results of that scare afterwards, however. A few terrorist attacks occur, the government enacts harsh laws to prevent them in the future - and now people do not know how they could possibly live without those laws, even if they did for centuries before without any complaints. After wearing armor for a while, it becomes uncomfortable to walk without armor: you feel vulnerable and defenseless. Easier to keep wearing the heavy armor strangling you and limiting flexibility of movement: life is less exciting and adventurous, but, at least, you are protected!
Bernie wants everyone to wear armor with full helmets. In those helmets, you can barely breathe, you can barely see, you can barely move... Because of all this, you are not safe either, but you sure feel safer knowing that everyone else is wearing the same helmets too.
