Can Bernie Sanders regain the magic of the 2016 run, before the DNC stacked the deck to knock him out and allow Hillary her attempt at coronation? Especially when there are so many leftist nutjobs running?
‘The Bern’ returns: Bernie Sanders announces entry into crowded 2020 Democratic field
Sen. Bernie Sanders is running for president again.
The independent from Vermont made the announcement about 2020 Tuesday morning in an interview with a public radio station in his state.
“We began the political revolution in the 2016 campaign, and now it’s time to move that revolution forward,” Sanders said.
Sanders also sent a campaign email announcing his that he will once again seek the Democratic nomination, jumping into an already crowded field of nearly a dozen candidates, with many more expected to join. (snip)
In his last campaign, Sanders labeled himself a democratic socialist and focused on social and economic justice, a platform seen as too radical by many in the Democratic Party establishment.
This time around, those same ideas – such as Medicare for all, a livable minimum wage, free college tuition – have been embraced by mainstream candidates seeking the Democratic nomination.
Here’s the opening video of a guy with three homes who’s upset that Other People make lots of money
I'm running for president. I am asking you to join me today as part of an unprecedented and historic grassroots campaign that will begin with at least 1 million people from across the country. Say you're in: https://t.co/KOTx0WZqRf pic.twitter.com/T1TLH0rm26

And here’s a part of his announcement email, which is similar to the above video (full text is at the first link above)
Our campaign is not only about defeating Donald Trump, the most dangerous president in modern American history. It is not only about winning the Democratic nomination and the general election.
Our campaign is about transforming our country and creating a government based on the principles of economic, social, racial and environmental justice.
In other words, fundamentally transforming the United States into Venezuela. Every complaint in the rest of his message should be though of with the notion of “transforming our country”.
He drank the cool aide. He still hasn’t caught on that we was hand picked by the Clinton campaign to run against her because with him on stage, she is the youthful, reasonable one. He never had a chance to win and he still doesn’t.
In 2016 DJ Trump received only 3 million fewer votes than his clumsy and hated opponent, demonstrating that many in middle America DID want to transform the nation. Unfortunately for voters DJ reneged on his promises and didn’t get Mexico to pay for it, did not deliver better and cheaper healthcare, DID get tax cuts passed for the wealthy and corporations. To his credit he has yet to get in the way of the recovery – although the last two months showed retail sales at the lowest since the Great Recession days.
Yes, working class Americans want a transformation from the last four decades of middle class decline where politicians have succored the wealthy and redistributed the productivity of the working classes ever upward.
Will the Trump/trumpublican appeal to racial hatreds and fears; the appeal to the fear of social programs; overwhelm the working classes concern over their own well-being? We’ll see.
TOTAL BULLSHIT.
Absolute and total bullshit. The working class have NO FUKING POLITICAL ASPIRATIONS. They want to eat. They want jobs. Something Democrats continually deny them when in power. Under Obama 14 million jobs were lost or never recovered in 8 years yet the left blames Obama when the democrats put into effect 10’s of thousands of regulations and saddled employers with Obamacare forcing them to hire part time or go bankrupt.
The lies that come from this persons fingers is staggering. The working man doesn’t give a shit about politics. They only want a job. BLACK PEOPLE dont care about how many votes Trump got nationally, they care about a job and hope and the plantation owners ala Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson and Louis Farahkan want to keep them poor and on the plantation.
Trump bad. Trump is giving jobs to Hispanics and Blacks. Trump is keeping ILLEGALS from taking their JOBS. Trump is good. DEmocrats are insanely racist, offering hope only in the form of pathetic and meager handouts to keep their voters voting for them in fear of losing what little crumbs the left gives them.
TRUMP OFFERS THEM HOPE. A job, a chance. Dignity and self respect. The democrats offer then a plantation and despair.
And the left wonders why there is a walk away movement and Hispanic and black polling numbers are going through the roof for Trump. IF they close the borders the Democrats will die and along with it the dream of communism for America.
We’d ask J to prove his â€Trump/Republican appeal to racial fears†line, but, like with global warming, accusations are the norm, not proof.
Trump has appealed to racial fears a thousand times. What more evidence do you need?
The brown rapists/murderers are flooding America Big-Jew Soros funded caravan after caravan.
Murder, mayhem, MS13, brown Muslim terrorists! Ban Muslims from entering the US! Blacks and browns are casting fraudulent votes! Mexicans were shooting up El Paso before they built the wall!
Trump shut down the government based on lies. He just admitted his Emergency is a scam.
It’s the trumplican plan for 2020. Central American rapists and drug smugglers, Muslim terrorists and communist infiltration.
Bearing false witness against another is bad for you in the long, long, long run. Check yourself. We’ll pray for you Elwood P. Dowd.
Murder, mayhem, MS13, brown Muslim terrorists! Ban Muslims from entering the US! Blacks and browns are casting fraudulent votes! Mexicans were shooting up El Paso before they built the wall!
AGAIN MORE LIES FROM THE MASTER LIAR.
Murders occur. MS13 is rated the most dangerous gang in the WORLD. Muslim terrorist exist by the ten’s of thousands and want nothing more than to blow up boston marathon runners….Oh wait they already did that…well then to kill ft. Hood soldiers…oh wait they already did that too.
Blacks, Browns and Whites, Asians and all races in between are casting illegal votes. Some even for Republicans. Somehow if Trump says it it is racist and a hate crime by the Master Liar.
As for the last of his idiotic line of lies.
El Paso. UPI……. Across Mexico border from safe El Paso, violence surges in Juárez
“It’s not somehow a miracle that El Paso and San Diego are relatively safe while they border on these festering hells of Ciudad Juárez and Tijuana,” said Everard Meade, director of the Trans-Border Institute at the University of San Diego, California. And it has nothing to do with a border wall dividing them.
Why is this the case?
FACTCHECK.ORG…….. El Paso has never been “one of the most dangerous cities in the country.†The city had the third lowest violent crime rate among 35 U.S. cities with a population over 500,000 in 2005, 2006 and 2007 – ********before construction of a 57-mile-long fence started in mid-2008.*******
WHO AUTHORIZED THIS FENCE? DEMOCRATS. WHY? Well FACT CHECK uses 2005-2007 as their base line for crimes yet further down they report this.
Along with the rest of the country, El Paso’s violent crime rate spiked in the early 1990s and has been trending downward ever since. The city’s violent crime rate dropped 62 percent from its peak in 1993 to 2007, a year before construction on the fence began.
So what is the moral of this story. FACT CHECK FACTCHECK.ORG and ELWOOD P BRAIN.
Mango,
Did the Tsarnaev brothers come through the southern desert? Did the 9/11 murderers? Drugs? The M13 gang FORMED in the US! There’s no evidence that illegal votes are significant*.
Do you have a point about the El Paso fence? The US homicide rate peaked in the early 80s, leveled off and started dropping rapidly in the early 90s. It’s less than half of what it was at the peak. Do you really believe Walls caused the precipitous drop in the homicide rate? Did the threat of a wall to be built in 2008 cause the homicide rate to drop years earlier?
*That said, Republican Mark Harris’ campaign appears to have committed election fraud in a NC Congressional race. They admitted collecting unsealed absentee ballots and “voting for” the voters. Harris “won” the seat by less than 1000 votes. There is no evidence that Harris’ campaign staff crossed through the southern border.
So again you offer no proof except for “look, can’t you see itâ€? Nothing to see, as Mexicans, Muslims and Central Americans aren’t “racesâ€, so by definition impossible to be racist. Not that that’s ever stopped liberals from name-calling instead of offering an intelligent counter-point. It’s a simple fact that the majority of illegals entering the country come through the southern border and they’re mostly from Mexico and Central America, so those are the ones that get caught. But I love the liberal “logic†of the situation- the only bad guys are Americans who want them caught, the ones blatantly breaking the law-not so much.
Trump’s own words are the evidence.
Actually, according to the conservative Washington Times: The nexus of illegal immigration into the U.S. has shifted away from the southwest border and into the country’s air and sea ports, where more than 54 million visitors checked in last year (2016) — and nearly 630,000 of them didn’t go home, according to new numbers released Monday.
No, he’s given a valid reason for the wall.
The brown rapists/murderers are flooding America Big-Jew Soros funded caravan after caravan.
Murder, mayhem, MS13, brown Muslim terrorists! Ban Muslims from entering the US! Blacks and browns are casting fraudulent votes! Mexicans were shooting up El Paso before they built the wall!
Glad you admit it. TX has caught and prosecuted numerous vote fraud cases, as has PA, OH, and other states. TX has reported 26000 illegals committed violent crimes in the state in the last decade.
Trump shut down the government based on lies. He just admitted his Emergency is a scam.
Quote, por favor, or is this another one of your fantasies?
He’s only talked about illegals. You talk race.
And who has funded the movement of these illegals?
No, 7 million of the Hildabeast’s votes were fraudulent, so he actually got 4 million more.
Unfortunately for voters DJ reneged on his promises and didn’t get Mexico to pay for it, did not deliver better and cheaper healthcare, DID get tax cuts passed for the wealthy and corporations. To his credit he has yet to get in the way of the recovery – although the last two months showed retail sales at the lowest since the Great Recession days.
On which promises?
Mexico has agreed to a trade accord that does send more money our way, and doubtless part of that is in the 21 billion he has for the wall. The tax cuts benefitted the entire country
The Act lowers tax rates but keeps the seven income tax brackets.
In 2018, only 4.8 percent of households pay more.
Trump’s tax plan doubles the standard deduction.
It keeps deductions for charitable contributions, retirement savings, and student loan interest.
Taxpayers can deduct up to $10,000 in state and local taxes. They must choose between property taxes and income or sales taxes. This will harm taxpayers in high-tax states like New York and California.
The Act expanded the deduction for medical expenses for 2017 and 2018.
The Act doubles the estate tax exemption to $11.2 million for singles and $22.4 million for couples.
The Act increases the Child Tax Credit from $1,000 to $2,000.
It allows parents to use 529 savings plans for tuition at private and religious K-12 schools. They can also use the funds for expenses for home-schooled students.
It allows a $500 credit for each non-child dependent.
The Act repeals the Obamacare tax on those without health insurance in 2019.
The plan keeps the Alternative Minimum Tax. It increases the exemption from $54,300 to $70,300 for singles and from $84,500 to $109,400 for joint.
So she lies on this.
And, if Trump appeals to race hate, why do 1/3 of Hispanics and 1/6 of blacks vote for him?
Our little Commie’s lies are so easily refuted.
7 million. That’s a lie, you whiny little fascist poof.
1/12 Blacks voted for tRump, not 1/6, you liar.
29% of Hispanics voted for trump.
Do you have proof that Mexico is paying for The Wall? We didn’t think so.
Everything you type is a lie, including “the” and “and”.
When are coming to visit?
Teach: a guy with three homes
Sanders is one of the poorest Senators (although better off than most Americans, but not a 1 percenter like Trump). He has a residence in DC (where he works), a home in VT and a summer home on Lake Champlain (bought from the proceeds of a family property in Maine).
Considering he never had a job until he was 40, it’s understandable, but, according to Newsweek, he’s still a one percenter.
“Dear @AOC: Let me serve as your private professor here. The Berlin Wall was meant to keep people inside the socialist/communist utopia and stop them from fleeing to the decadent capitalist west. So as the New Millennial Lenin, you might want to refrain from using this example,†Gad Saad, an evolutionary behavioral scientist at the John Molson School of Business, tweeted.
AOC compares Trumps wall to the Berlin Wall is smacked down with reality.
Bernie Sanders net worth is around $3 million. That’s not in the top 1% which is over $8 million net worth, nonetheless this little “socialist” (really a red azzed commie) is a friggin’ millionaire. BTW, almost none of his wealth was earned by his own labor.
But he WANTS to be in the top 1%. All he has to do is raise 8 million in campaign contributions from his faithful followers, then not spend any of it campaigning. That should be easy for him. Just like the 7 million that Warren raised for the Hillary recount, then there was no recount. So she just kept the money. Every hard working Socialist believes they deserve to be rewarded financially for their hard work spreading the Socialist Gospel, even though they have no intention of living under it themselves.
Marist Poll: Trump’s Latino Support Jumps 19 Points
Read Newsmax: Marist Poll: Trump’s Support Among Hispanics Jumps 19 Points Amid Shutdown | Newsmax.com
50 percent of Latinos support the job Trump is doing, a significant jump from the 31 percent who had the same answer in a December poll.
FIFTY PERCENT!!
Twenty-nine percent of Latinos responded “strongly approve,” with another 22 percent who “approve.” The combined number puts his approval at 51 percent. Nearly half, 41 percent, “strongly disapprove.”
FIFTY ONE PERCENT!!
Trump at 36 percent approval among African-Americans, new poll finds June of 2018. USA today poll.
Asked what Monday’s numbers mean, a senior Democratic House aide confided on background: ‘I don’t know yet if it’s horrible, but it sure isn’t good.’
DON”T let ELWOOD P BRAIN influence you with FAKE news. The Democrats are imploding and it will only get worse as Communism is exposed and Millenials and Gen Z who were never taught a thing about this catastrophic failed social experiment is brought to light DAILY by every one Right of Lenin including Democrats.
Poor J-it looks like not everyone got the “racial fears†memo. Don’t worry, the MSM is working on that all the time. They even report on many hate crimes that were never committed, flunking basic journalism by not waiting for the facts. But that doesn’t matter to them, because it fits their false narrative…
That’s the main public relations problem the New Green Democrat-Communist Party has. They’ve been caught so many times lying about “hate” hoax’s they have lost all credibility. Add that to their decades of man made climate nonsense none of which the prognostications have proven accurate and they have a deep credibility gap. Now you add in the New Green Generation of complete and flagrant lunatics like AOC, Spartacus, Kameltoe, the Twin Mohammadan Racists and don’t forget Beat-Off O’rourke and you have the perfect storm of unreliable, ignorant children playing politics. Throw in the usual coalition of Muslims, Black Supremicists, Gay Supremiscists, Trans acivists, criminals and felons for new “rights” sprinkle with assorted late term abortions and an unwillingness to even recognize we have an illegal invasion let alone tackle the hard question of how to stop it without a wall and they are completely out of any ideas other than ….Orange Man Bad.
The Democrat Party has become a party of communists, undesirables and illegal aliens. All liars and fools. Who shall lead them? Who cares? It will be fun to watch them get Trump elected again like they did last time.
Where is Ginsburg? I think she may be dead and the leftists are hiding that fact. I want proof of life.
Kye,
I used to be on your side, but you’ve revealed your true self lately. Pity.
We want proof that you’re not brain dead.
We have proof – that Elwood is a liar.
And when you find you cannot win an argument with your lies, you personally attack the person.
Typical Leftist behavior.
Nignorant luvs him some attention sho’ nuff.
Elwood, you don’t have to like me, and you certainly don’t have to agree with me, But I would appreciate if you don’t lie to me. You never “used to be on my side” regardless of the discussion or whatever “true self” you object to.
Now when it comes to being brain dead I recall you on more than one occasion voicing the demand to see Trumps taxes. You are all worried about seeing the taxes of a billionaire real estate developer who became president. You should be worried about the taxes of all those members of Congress who became millionaires after they were elected. That’s a sign of being brain dead.
But the dems still have Russia, Russia, Russia… and collusion, collusion, collusion…
Oh, wait…
https://spectator.org/the-good-news-about-the-botched-bureaucratic-coup/
This being Senator Sanders’ second attempt to win the Democratic presidential nomination, I think it’s reasonable to ask: why doesn’t he identify as a Democrat?
He’s always listed as an independent, even though he caucuses with the Democrats, and the Democrats never have anyone seeking the Democratic nomination for Senate in Vermont against him.
It’s as though Mr Sanders wants stuff from the Democrats, but is ashamed to call himself one. Can’t say that I blame him: I’d be pretty embarrassed if I were a Democrat myself.
Notice how Roger Rabbit always seems to end up without a reply button after her idiotic claims? In the interests of truth, we answer them here.
Actually, according to the conservative Washington Times: The nexus of illegal immigration into the U.S. has shifted away from the southwest border and into the country’s air and sea ports, where more than 54 million visitors checked in last year (2016) — and nearly 630,000 of them didn’t go home, according to new numbers released Monday.
The Times has plenty of NeverTrumpers writing for it, first of all.
And visitors are not illegals. Harvey thinks we’re as stupid as he is.
Do you have a point about the El Paso fence? The US homicide rate peaked in the early 80s, leveled off and started dropping rapidly in the early 90s. It’s less than half of what it was at the peak. Do you really believe Walls caused the precipitous drop in the homicide rate? Did the threat of a wall to be built in 2008 cause the homicide rate to drop years earlier?
At the 4 major points in the fence, infiltration and crime are low. That’s why they have to cross the Sonora Desert.
*That said, Republican Mark Harris’ campaign appears to have committed election fraud in a NC Congressional race. They admitted collecting unsealed absentee ballots and “voting for†the voters. Harris “won†the seat by less than 1000 votes. There is no evidence that Harris’ campaign staff crossed through the southern border.
Uh, he used the same tactics the Demos did to snap up a dozen or so seats in CA. If he’s guilty, so are they.
FORMED in the US! There’s no evidence that illegal votes are significant*.
7 million of them seem to be. Even CA had to clean 1.5 million illegals off their voter rolls.
And, if they weren’t significant, you would be perpetrating your digital diarrhea that it’s no threat.
It would take a lot of work to be as lazy and stupid as you.
Whizzer: And visitors are not illegals.
Actually, those that overstay their visas are here illegally. Or in your world are “illegals” only brown?
