May 2015

He will be framed as too old Marxist, Socialist Commie and the 30% of the electorate will buy into it..1/3
would say he would hurt the economy and so on and so on.. He hasn’t got a chance...And yes I would prefer him over Hillary...but if we don’t hold the presidency in 2016? We are totally fucked for decades..beginning with the extreme voter registration laws which would immediately be passed..This shit is just too scary.. for me...But I’ll say it again, in a perfect world Bernie All The Way!
