Bernie was shit on it
Which is good
Umm I watched that debate Bernie did fine?
He hammered his usual points
yes he retreated to his "we must take on the 1%" level of arguments
The only points of contention where Bernie would be weak is immigration
Bernie is too nice for it
Is Bernie not right on that issue though?
depends on what factors you wanna go on
the 1% isn't like Scrooge McDuck where they just shove all their money into a big bunker and swim around in it,
the money of the 1% is whats swirling through the economy
I think if Bernie emphasised strong borders and small government only for small businesses and lower to middle class people
He'd be bulletproof
Nah, that Seattle incident shows he's too "nice"
he'd just step back in silence
I agree tbh but still
That alone doesn't discredit everything he's standing for
Its worrying for sure
But conflating confidence with competence doesn't end well
It doesn't discredit him,
But it makes him a stepping stone, meaning any of his "good sounding policies" would just be pushes aside by the democratic party that would've backed him
Im certain he wasnt confident in dealing with that situation
Not to mention, many flyover states are simply die-hard republicans
Bernie would have a hard time winning them over
But he's damn sure far more competent and sticks to his values harder than any other politician I've seen
He got a standing ovation from Trump supporters before and its not uncommon either
I think he has a great shot
He might've in 2016,
but Trump has proven himself to be one of the better presidents in modern history, if not THE best
Nah big disagree
Im not saying
He hasnt done anything good
But policy wise he falls short of the standard, though his random aberrations got North Korea on the table
I definitely give him credit on North Korea because it takes a certain type of personality to get them on the table with the south
As well as strong confidence in the economy for sure
domestic policy he might be lacking a bit yeah,
But other fields he's great at
But almost everything he promised on the campaign
He has consistently lied about
@MysticEyes💕 Beto spent an absurd amount of money and still lost.
What happened to leaving Iraq and Afghanistan?
Yeah Beto is the 2nd weakest of the candidates I mentioned
Tax cuts,
Renegotiated NAFTA,
Brought jobs back,
Halted illegal immigration (to an extent)
Weakest being Warren
weakest is Hillary
his big promises he's been keeping
NAFTA has provisions of TPP slipped in
